re: Tromsø, Norway

There really isn’t an option to train to Tromso. It’s too far from other major cities. We just spent time in Oslo and Stockholm on the front and back end to break up the travel....

We stayed there for 3 or 4 nights for 2017 New Years. It’s been a bit, but we stayed at the Scandic downtown and liked both the hotel and location. The breakfast buffet was probably the best food we ate, other than reindeer stew on a lights tour. There’s not a ton to do, and it’s cold and dark, b...

re: Bozeman, Montana Places to Stay

We stayed at The Lark last winter. It’s not super-fancy and seems to be an old motel that’s been well-renovated, but the rooms were very nice and it was within walking distance (even in heavy snow) of everything downtown....

Any recommendations for bars/restaurants/thing-to-do from those who’ve been recently? Accommodations are booked, and we’ll see the Baths and do a day of island hopping by boat, but it’s been close to a decade since I last visited. Many thanks!...

Definitely go to Kanali in Elounda. We were in Crete for 4 nights and ate there twice. Get the salt baked fish (sea bass, I think). The setting is beautiful. You essentially go to the edge of Elounda beach, cross a tiny bridge onto Kalydon island, and it’s the only sign of life besides some ruins...
You’ll have stars tomorrow. I got the meteor shower island yesterday and had them this morning....

Does anyone know of a contractor that could gut part of a house in Norco? My 90 yr old grandma’s house sustained lots of water damage. I’m out of state, and my parents aren’t in the shape to demo it themselves. Not surprisingly, finding a contractor has proven to be difficult. Thanks!...

Kyoto is great. Go to the Katsukura in the main train station. It’s up on one of the top floors past the mall area. Also Anzukko Gyoza is beyond amazing (but tiny—make a reservation and get there early)....
They’re also easy to get on Etsy....
Sorry! Missed your post earlier. CJLST if you can still get on....
Great. Let me know when you’re on and I’ll post a Dodo Code....
I don’t need anything. Thanks though. I’m traveling for work today, but can send a Dodo Code tomorrow....
I have an extra wand DIY if you want it....
So I think you have to visit my island before I can mail things. I’ve got my gate open to all friends now. If you come tonight, I can give you the fridge now and mail the mixer after you’ve come. Or I can order the mixer from Nook Shopping tonight and just give you both if you come at some point tom...
No problem. I don’t need anything. I’ll be on a little later and will see if just the friend code works....
I have a pink refrigerator and stand mixer catalogued if you still need them....
