I got the rabies vaccine before I mobilized overseas. I don’t know about the cost because it was one of a litany of shots I got and the company paid for it all, but it wasn’t anything special in terms of pain or aftereffects.
I’m a green belt. At my company it’s total bullshit. You fudge some numbers to make yourself look good on your annual performance review, everyone has a party about it. Nobody even bothers getting into the details of did it really make a difference.
Yea man. I hear ya. I just moved to Denver and I have some friends visiting for New Years that want to ski that week. It’s gonna be a shit show for sure.
I used to go to Mammoth around New Years when I lived in California, shit was like 30 minute lines. Usually I would get a few runs in off the opening lifts then abandon ship.
Yea that’s fair. I should have gone a little further up I70 haha. I was at vail least week for that midweek storm and it was quite nice, the place was deserted and I had fresh tracks that outlasted me.
I’m at breck today. There’s good powder... if you can find it. Just like most powder days it is tracked almost as soon as the lifts open. I don’t know if it’s because it’s a Thursday or what but there’s a lot more people here than I expected.
X3 on the Osprey Farpoint 40. I travel internationally for a living and when I got this assignment I had the exact same question as OP. After reviewing many brands, North Face, Tumi, Patagonia, etc. I ended up with the Farpoint. I have been very happy with it.
Why is Chesapeake continuing to decline? I was under the impression they had made a good acquisition that was going to be accretionary to their cash flow.
I skied breck Monday and am at vail for yesterday and today. Coverage is good for this early in the season and it looks like vail has 3” of powder it got overnight for me to play in today.
You can easily fill five full days in Barcelona If you want. I’ve spent about six weeks there myself off and on this past year
El Nacional is a great recommendation, I’ve been there before and I only had a couple of cocktails but the food at the various restaurants looked and smelled great.
For tapas in Eixample one place I wouldn’t miss is Cerveseria Catalana. Just excellent tapas there, I’ve been there multiple times. It’s a great date spot as well.
Another cool spot nearby in the Gracia neighborhood is Plaza Del Sol. It’s surrounded by restaurants and bars with patios and lots of young people hang out there in the evenings.
I’m sure you know this, but dinner in Spain is typically from 8 at the earliest until 11. 9 pm is prime time for dinner. Unless y’all wanna eat alone don’t go out for dinner at six or seven.
I wasn’t too big on the cocktails myself while I was there, usually I was either drinking wine / cava or Estrella on draft.
Anyone done Bariloche before? Thinking of planning a guys ski trip for late July / Early August. My buddy has platinum elite ambassador status with Marriott so we were thinking of booking at the Marriott property there and then heading up to Cerro Catedrale for some time on the slopes.
Would be interested in hearing from anyone who’s been that way. How was it, where did you stay, how did you manage transportation, etc.
Right, Union station not union square! I loved the location and the views, very excited to move in down there and just in time for snowboarding season.
