re: Japan Tips?

[quote]They're currently very low on the chips that go into Suica cards. In February, you couldn't buy one anywhere.[/quote]
I landed in Tokyo on February 22nd and got a Passmo card at Haneda.
As for the Shinkansen, they have an app now. Thinks it's called Smart EX. We bought all our tickets w...

We didn't really have any issues that stick out to me. Many signs for the subway, airport, and other things have english under the Japanese. Also, a fair amount of the Japanese people speak english well enough to get by with the basic things. You can get by with pointing to things alot.
We used g...

What exactly are you looking for? Restaurants, hotel, itinerary, general tips?
When in Tokyo you will use the subways a lot. It's very easy and extremely cheap. Get a passmo or suica card that you can load up with Yen to access the subway. It was the first thing we did at the Haneda airport. You ...

Posted by Woadie on 3/24/24 at 8:20 pm
Like most people have alluded to, the beaches in Galveston are not nice. But since you asked...
The beaches are sand. The water will look like chocolate milk. IMO, the best beach in the area is Stewart beach. You do have to pay (around $5) to have access, but that means a better crowd.

re: Rome, Venice, Florence, or Milan

I would rank them in this order:
Rome
Florence
Venice
Milan
I love Venice but 2 nights is plenty and not the place I would choose to go for my first time if I only had 4 days. Rome and Florence have many more things to do and see. You could spend a month in Rome and not ...
re: Looking to replace home windows
Posted by Woadie on 1/29/24 at 8:01 am
We used Relief Windows out of Baton Rouge. They work the NOLA area.
They will not be the cheapest option but I am 100% satisfied with their work and windows. They actually have installers hired with the company instead of hiring subs like window world.
Double check but I'm pretty sure LAS onl...
re: Trip to Asheville, NC in mid-April
Posted by Woadie on 1/13/24 at 7:29 am
Two most popular places to stay are the Grove Park Inn and the Kimpton Arras Downtown. The Grove Park is a Beautiful historic hotel, but is not in the center and would require driving everywhere. The Arras is in the center of Downtown so you have a lot of walking options.
TONS of breweries and th...
re: Paris in September - Restaurant Recs please
Posted by Woadie on 8/12/23 at 8:33 am
Went to Violon d'Ingres in March this year. Might be the best meal of my life. One Michelin star french bistro close to Eiffel tower. Chef is from Normandy area, so the cuisine matches that area.
Get a later reservation if you want it to feel more local. We had one towards the middle of dinner se...

[quote]Coliseum will disappoint you after being at Tiger Stadium. It's so small it's jarring. The dig of more ancient Rome in between the Coliseum and the Forum? is neat.[/quote]

To the OP, the Colosseum is incredible. I highly recommend a tour of it....
Concrete Finishers - Nola/Metairie
Posted by Woadie on 4/13/23 at 6:04 pm
Looking for any recommendations people have for concrete finishers in the New Orleans area. I need to demo, grade/level, and replace with a new one. About 450 sq feet. Got one estimate for $6,500 and looking for more opinions.
I realize this is a popular topic and have searched for old threads b...
re: Has Anyone Gone the Sprinter Van/RV Modification Route?
Posted by Woadie on 3/30/23 at 5:51 pm
I personally do not have experience with those two companies but they are two of the biggest ones out there with the most reach. If you are out west there are more local rental companies that I feel will have a better deal and setup.
No doubt your 4runner is way more capable that a sprinter but y...
re: Has Anyone Gone the Sprinter Van/RV Modification Route?
Posted by Woadie on 3/30/23 at 5:01 pm
I currently have a sprinter that the wife and I use for mountain biking. We don't live in it, but we take multiple week to month long trips in it over the year. If you have any specific questions, fire them off and I'll answer.
We love it, but it is not for everyone. Instagram and YouTube romanti...

Applied for renewal in late November and just got them back two weeks ago. So about 9 weeks give or take.
FYI, the online status didn't mean squat. I had them in hand and the online portal said they were still being processed. ...

Might be too late but try to get a reservation at Elote Cafe. By far the best restaurant in Sedona.
If they are booked, I've lucked out everytime with their waitlist. Get the smoked brisket enchiladas. Margaritas are amazing as well....
re: Mountain bike question
Posted by Woadie on 12/11/22 at 8:55 am
If you give me a budget, I can suggest a few bikes in your price range. Also, what area are you in so I know the type of terrain. I'm assuming you are not doing big, long, technical descents? Mostly just mellow hills or flat dirt paths?
There are tons of different sub-category mountain bikes depe...
re: Mountain bike question
Posted by Woadie on 12/11/22 at 7:52 am
I would opt for a new bike. The technology and comfort of modern mountain bikes has greatly changed in the past 26 years. Additionally, part standards have changed as well which will make finding replacement parts difficult depending on what you need.
What type of riding are you planning on doin...
