    This has been my philosophy for the last 20 years. I checked a set of golf clubs to wedding in NOLA from NYC circa 2001. They lost my clubs which also happened to have some sandals that I had planned to wear pretty much the entire trip. They didn't find the bag until I was back in NYC. The airline delivered my bag and left it outside my walk up in the middle of the day and didn't even bother to tell me. The doorman across the street witnessed it and grabbed it and left me a note. I have not checked a bag since. Although I believe they are much better at baggage these days in general but I still hear plenty of horror stories. Plus I do a ton of public transpo and walking. Watching people drag checked bags onto trains, subways, and up and down streets looks like an epic beating.

    I haven't checked a bag in at least 20 years unless I was required to like when I brought a knife home from Japan. You can easily carry a weeks worth of clothes in a carry on. I can't believe the idea of doing laundry on the road is new to anyone. Most hotels have a laundry service and some have self serve on premises.. In parts of Asia you can have your entire wardrobe washed and folded for $1. And like Mo says there is almost always a laundry facility and in most cases there is a bar or restaurant near by. If worse comes to worse you can always do some essentials in the hotel room. It helps if you aren't as concerned about people on instagram realizing you packed light and you are wearing the same outfit twice.

    I took a LNER train from Edinburgh to London in April. It's about 5 hours but it doesn't feel like it because you are watching the English countryside and small towns. I booked a first class seat which costs right around 100 lbs. Good meal. Drinks. Wine etc. Bathrooms are very clean. Agree with this but if you have only 7 you'll need to cut somewhere but it also depends what you like. I've done everything in London on a previous trip so most of my time was spent at the stadium for a tour and match. I think you can do most of London in 3 days and most of Edinburgh in 3 as well.

    True. But imagine taking your family to Canada and spending the entire trip in a hotel. Just like the good ole days of 2021. Best bet is to get tested before you even go.

    For any of you going to Canada. Canada bringing back random mandatory covid inbound testing. With 10 day quarantine.

    I have been riding since I was 4. BMX. Half pipes. 1/4 pipes. Road racing. Mtn biking. I've crashed and I've got the scars. I've been 45 mph hundreds of times and it was fun but just on the edge of terryfying. I get ill at the thought of going 50 let alone 60

    Btw Kings. Don't let your women tell you that they need a 2000 sqft kitchen to cook food in. The kitchen at this pub is the size of a closet and these two dudes were pushing out meal after meal of tasty pub food.
  14. midtown
    Those kits are horrendous. Who on earth thought those were a good idea?

    Spence is done Probably. But when you look at the stadium being done and full. UCL football. A world class winning manager that the bulk of players seem to really want to play for and ENIC most likely prepping the team for a sale soon, worlds have finally aligned.

    Good lord. I still get to a US airport 1 hour before.

    Ill never be too old to look at Texas women in bikinis. Esp now that the trend regardless of age seems to be to wear your suit completely up your ass. 20-50 is all good. A lot of these MILFs looking damn good. You're always one rapid away from a titty popping out.

    I didn't have to make a point of eating it. It seemed like it was on every menu at every restaurant. In fact it was on the menu at the first place I went for breakfast when arriving in Edinburgh. I was hungry from flying all night and had to kill most of the day waiting for my room. My understanding is its kind of mass produced these days using artificial stomachs. Haggis at 12 o'clock

    Haggis is delicious

    I've already flown 25k miles this year on vacations. So far not a single delay and that includes 3 international trips and going both in and out of Heathrow. Don't let a few bad stories dissuade you

    I was there a month ago and did DFW to LHR to EDI. Smooth sailing but also not summer. You should get to use the egates for passport control. YouTube it so you'll be prepared. Easy and fast. Security was a bit more of a cluster fuck. Your domestic will most likely be a satilite. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk

    100% this. I will never ever understand Americans desires for houses.

    He's not just talking about moving to a state or liberal/conservative city where politics lean one way or the other, which is what we've had for eons. He's been talking about basically two United States with completely opposite laws and governments. Something we have never seen like this and what looks like is coming.
