Pretty much a pro move at all airports now that they got their shite somewhat together and universally take CCs.
Everyone is herding into the apps so in many places a taxi stand is almost no wait at all.

re: car seats when traveling by plane

I went from infant car seat that snapped into a frame stroller to the Cosco rear facing to WayB to booster.
Currently my oldest is using the booster and younger one using the WayB. They probably weigh 15lbs total.
I check them and install on other side.
I see parents lugging the full car se...

re: 1,236% Increase in Deaths Following COVID-19 Vaccination
Posted by Teddy Ruxpin on 5/29/24 at 4:54 pm
I didn't read anything (:lol:) but why are they including 2020 at all? There was essentially no vaccine in 2020 so why would that be the starting year of this study?
You could potentially use 2020 to set a base, but why that year and not 2015 for instance, where there's no COVID and no vaccine, e...

re: Travel Slings For European Travel
Posted by Teddy Ruxpin on 5/28/24 at 1:09 pm
This was in Japan so I could buy that stuff just like I would if I was in the US. I wasn't out hiking or anything.
Same with shopping. Used the shopping bags they gave us.
Dressed for the weather, etc.
Only thing you can't bring is a big camera but I've stopped using mine anyway because the...

UPDATE:
Mom runner wanted to greet kids before the finish to finish together. Husband was just following directions. She unexpectedly ended up being in first, which led to the issue.
The other guy that everyone said she was hooking up with is her brother who was helping her run the race. :lol:...
