Weren't there thousands of Australians not allowed to come home for a long while?

unless a positive strikes. then you're not allowed out of quarantine in the UK nor are you allowed to return to the US until negative. and i bet the hotel will treat you "special" until they get you out. i just realized the 2 day test has to be booked before leaving to get on the plane AND now you have to test overseas 3 days before returning to the US to get on the plane home. I'm triple vaccinated and had a negative PCR test yesterday so, Yup I'm mad. Flight to UK this saturday 11/12 and this is my week's work.

In all the similar places in Brazil you pay separately for the room always. At Thermas in BCN you can use a cubicle for free but a room costs a rental. People who have been to those would assume this is a hire fee+ room fee arrangement too. It needs to be more clear or they will lose customers who assume the total is 170. They should say massuer and room 130.

I guess it's a question of balancing a normal life with precautions. I have all three shots and wear masks in stores. I'm wondering now about my trip to London, not so much for the surge there (which is declining a bit) as the risk of getting stranded with a positive test. My Kaiser covers me worldwide but still.....

When you open the list of (covid test lol) providers, most are about 1 pound. Seems you could meet the requirement to get in with a paid test. Would be wonderful if they gave them at the airport. It does scare me that Delta's answer to "what if you test positive" is "You don't fly". hoo-boy would i hate to be in that situation. And many people have long-term symptomless covid and don't know it.

I'm probably still going in a week but I'll curtail hiring and tube travel to what's necessary. Delta just emailed me that the UK requires a test within 2 days of arrival from US????

He needs to make clear in the new website that the 130 includes the room and the 40 is for just room and no masseur. That could cost them a lot of business.

hmmmm. it's now 130L for the guy and 40L for the room..........$240 US total.

Any update on VG? Open? I'm deciding whether to get a hotel close for a day or two of my trip.

Singapore KrisFlyer is a bargain for United or Star Alliance biz flights to the US. With J demand shrinking because of lockdowns, Premium Select is the new "thing". Airlines are ripping out biz and 1st seats to install reclining wide-width domestic US 1st seats. I just got a RT DC to London on Delta for 32K (plus $200fee) and a pop-up offered me PS on the flight to London for an additional $250. I grabbed it. Delta seems to have the best of the new PSs with 1st class meals on china, free booze, 2 suitcases, and a dedicated flight attendant. Delta's famous for cheap upsells of Premium Select when booking.

I think in Paragonya the rate is 100 but in Zurich for outcalls the norm is 150. Both good by American standards.

That's certainly true of Delta Biz where their reward rates for Biz or First are eye-watering. But demand for business is way down now with the business world closed up and I see a lot of United Biz 60K's to Europe and American 57.5K's still around. I noticed United biz drops rapidly close-in. Airlines are largely replacing many of their biz seats with Premium Select seats now which are like old biz seats--much wider and 45-degree reclining with footrest, extra leg room and better food. I have to go to London next month and the only deal I found was Delta in steerage for 32K roundtrip. All Delta's specials are coach only. But off-peak in the very back of the plane I often can get 1 or 2 empty seats next to me to lay down if not sleep. Many friends rave about biz rewards on Singapore Airlines being very cheap, even on partners.

Last week read that Beyond Meat is now putting beet juice in their "meat" solely to simulate blood. I'm wondering about this pandering to appetite for blood as truly being vegan.

Never a fan of filet mignon but do like hangar. During the holidays Trader Joes usually has a big roast of heavily peppered hangar that is my guests' favorite, especially for sandwiches next day. I prefer unpeppered.

i don't think it's just my hearing; i think as shows become more realistic they also speak in the less-than-clear way that normal people do most times. In the past actors were trained to pronounce clearly and project. I keep subtitles on.

Hanger

Around DC it's on several IMAX screens, including 2 shows per day at the 6-story tall IMAX at Hruby Air and Space Museum annex in Chantilly, VA where it's also cheaper (justifying the gas lol). We may drive out to see it in a week or two. (I saw it at 6:01 Friday on HBO). I want to re-watch the 1st movie but since it covers Part 2 it will be a spoiler (yes I forgot the ending from 38 years ago).

anyone have Ostin from Russia's SleepyBoy name or link? or any other link? thx

I wonder if Mardi Gras 2022 will be back to normal.

I'm unfamliar with SleepyBoy but know Hunqz/Romeo well. My experience is that the top providers with fewer scams or dead listings, also have ads on Rentman, which because it's much more expensive has just guys actively working and currently reviewed and checked out. Of course RM has it's share of "ultra-pros" who expect worship. but those often are obvious. Prague, for example, used to have 4 ads on RM about 3 years ago. Now it has 4 pages. London has 14 pages on RM now of guys who stay current, pay $50 to $100/mo, and get checked out somewhat. I'm headed to London mid November for a week and will search both as well as trying to visit Villa Gianni.

It's 2 hours 45 minutes. I like it a lot. 4.5 stars. I may go see it again in IMax or 3D.... 65" screen doesn't do it justice (even at 4 ft lol). Many dark scenes. Only irritating thing for me is the father is that smuck who's also currently playing the father in Bergman's Scenes From a Marriage remake. No Alpha Male that guy. Obviously he was filming both parts at the same time and it's impossible to keep his two father parts separated.

I wish i'd skimmed the last episode of Season 2 before starting Season 3. They pick up in the middle of the panic without any reminder what's happening and why. (no, it's not just age).
