Continuing on from the last post, here is where the long-term rental accommodations I found is located:

Just across from Lisbon. Here's a closer look at the area.

As I mentioned before, good reviews are important to me.

And some more details about the property that would make my stay more convenient, comfortable and secure:

Security cameras on property

Smoke alarm

Carbon monoxide detector

Fire extinguisher

First Aid kit

Wifi

Kitchen with fridge, microwave, cookware, dishes & cutlery, salt & pepper, cooking oil

Luggage drop-off allowed for before check-in/after check-out

Cleaning available during stay

Doesn't it all sound great?

Here's what the place looks like again, in case you missed my last post.

It will cost me CAD $1948 (USD $1441, €1326) for the month (29 nights, actually). That works out to CAD $67/night (USD $50, €46).

I'm going to have to start thinking ahead more for accommodations. Now that we are moving into high-season things will start to get booked up quickly. I know I haven't even "arrived" yet in Lisbon, and haven't a clue about what there is to see and do, but I'm going to have to start thinking about where I will be going next. Spain, I guess!

Planning a Trip

For the best of everything—great weather, open attractions and businesses, discounted rates, and smaller crowds—visit the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in October, November, February, March, or April. September and May are also excellent shoulder season months.

Avoid the monsoons between May and August, especially if an action-packed itinerary is a priority. But don't rule it out completely, as it's the best time to visit.

No matter when you choose to go, the Andamans will dazzle you with lush jungles, stellar beaches, and underwater wonders. Just leave the sweaters behind—it's always beach weather out here!

Eternal Flame Falls sounds like the coolest concept for a fantasy book. A path you follow down into a ravine until you find an ever-burning flame inside of a waterfall? That’s fuckin metal! But it’s not in a fantasy book it’s like an hour away from my house I can literally go see it any time! I remember it like once a month and lose my shit over it every time

#it trips me out because i'm sure a lot of people have heard about it online and have made plans to see it someday #and for me it's just like 'oh right that park in buffalo'

What are Some Tips to Choose the Best Tour Operator for Your Upcoming Trip?

In recent times traveling is picking up a huge pace with people across the globe ready to pack their bags at the first instance and visit foreign lands and get to spend quality time with their family and friends. The role of tour operators in arranging and helping people explore destinations is immense.

Now, it is impossible to think of a tour without the help of a tour operator and with the rising demand, there are many tour companies that are springing up everywhere. The problem arises when one has to choose the best tour operator from the fraudulent or not-so-good ones.

Choosing the best tour operator is the difference between a memorable and a lousy trip. Here in this article, we will discuss the tips that will help you select the best tour operator for your upcoming trip.

Expertise & Experience

There are many tour companies that you will come across when planning a trip and choosing among them can be quite hectic for you. However, you need to focus on the core area of expertise of the tour company which will help you in striking out the tour operators that don’t fulfill your demands.

Now, while selecting a tour company based on its core area of expertise, you need to first sort out what kind of tour you would like to go on. If you are looking for an adventurous water sports tour, then you need to focus on tour operators that provide you with a host of water sports options in some of the most scenic places around the world.

The tour companies who are highly experienced in conducting tours with people from across the globe can give you the best exposure you would like to have of the place you are visiting. That is why while choosing a tour operator, you must also give priority to their experience in the tourism industry.

Cost of the Tour

Most people are surprised to find that no two tour companies are similar when it comes to the price of the tour for the same place. Besides that, there is a myth prevalent among many people that whatever they pay for on their tour, it is justified because they get the services that are worth the costs.

However, this is not true because you don’t get what you pay for when you are going on a tour with the assistance of a tour operator. There are several instances where tour operators charge exorbitant money even for minor services while some of these services might be necessary, there will be others that will not be up to value for money.

You need to ask your tour operator regarding their overhead charges and whether the money you are paying is for the best hotels in the place and what services will be included in the money you are paying. Besides that, you should get in touch with various tour operators so that you can compare the prices quoted by everyone which will help you select the best operator among them.

Assistance of Local Guides

One of the most important things that sets out good tour operators from the rest of the competition is that they have a handful of local guides who have years of experience in guiding people from all over the world. There are many tour operators who claim that their guides are the best but they will provide you with inexperienced guides who will spoil your entire tour.

The guides provided by the tour operator should know the place like the back of his hand and would also be trained in providing first-aid services if any emergency arises.

Convenient Schedule

The tour operator on whom you are relying for your tour should have an itinerary that is balanced and there is enough time for some rest in between all the places you are likely to visit. A tour that is rushed through will leave you dissatisfied and will be a waste of money.

Similarly, you wouldn’t like spending all your time sitting around the whole day. That is why your schedule for the upcoming tour should be a well-balanced one with proper time spacing between sightseeing and rest.

Finally

The above-discussed factors are some of the tips that are going to help you in selecting the best tour operator for your upcoming trip. In addition to this, you should also look at the reviews provided by other tourists like you who have already availed the services of the tour operator before you to get an idea about their services.

Just Booked It!

Hello endless void known as Tumblr. I haven't journaled or blogged since lifejournal and MySpace were popular. That being said, hopefully I am not too cringe.

A little background on me for your viewing pleasure:

I'm Kari. I'm 35, live in bumbfuck Virginia, and I just booked my first trip to Japan for this coming Sept 1st - Sept 8th. That leaves me three months to get in shape, learn additional Japanese for travel, plan places to see, and figure out what to pack. Oh, and get a passport.

My life isn't exactly a TikTok and by that I mean I live a normal, boring, suburban life that is slowly killing me. Nothing crazy exciting happening in my life outside of the daily anxiety and depression fits. I'm in a very, very loveless relationship that I know I need to end but that is kind of scary to do. I work a lot and I love to work, it keeps me happy and focused.

Today I was sitting at my desk, working from home, and I realised that if I didn't do something to change my life I would be miserable forever. So, I booked the trip. Hotel, flights, everything.

I plan on explaining more about myself and what brought me to this point. I also plan to share the journey of getting ready for Japan and hopefully I will get all the tips I can from readers.

My excitement in this moment knowing I just booked the trip of my dreams is overwhelming and I am just glad I have the internet to share that joy with. I'm lacking on friends of the physical type.

Anyway, hope someone, somewhere reads this and shares in my excitement with me.

This idea came to me in a dream and it impacted me so violently i had to sit down for a while

Diana being ADAM'S daughter instead of Lawrence's. Financially struggling single father Adam. Trying-his-best father Adam. Can anybody hear me

#i also get to project the experience of growing up poor onto Diana lmfao #with the way their ages match up I wonder if she'd be his Young Adult Accident™ or just the daughter of an ex gf he ended up taking care of #Lawrence would swear up and down he's not really a kids person until Diana comes along and he just falls head over heels for her #buying her toys and treats and planning fun little trips to amusement parks #all the stuff Adam can't afford #calling her the sappiest most embarrassing pet names of all time lmao #saw #saw fanart #saw movies #adam faulkner stanheight #adam faulkner #adam stanheight #lawrence gordon #diana gordon #saw lawrence #saw adam #chainshipping #latenightsundayblues art tag

Just to tie in my two themes this month----

Additional notes, because poll options apparently limit their characters:

Frodo finds great peace in watching the tides rise and fall throughout each day. He attends all the ranger programs on birds and seashells and fills pages with sketches and poetry.

Sam meticulously selects postcards in the gift shop for each of his friends and spends a whole morning writing and addressing them. He also buys Junior Ranger hats for his kids and a variety of Appalachian jams for Rosie.

Park rangers launch a Missing Person search for Aragorn when they realize his car's been parked at Avalanche Creek for three days. The search runs for almost a week before he comes strolling out the opposite side of the park, supporting one of the SAR techs who twisted an ankle during the search.

Legolas is first drawn to Olympic for the towering, mossy temperate rainforests, but the ground goes out from under him when he steps onto Second Beach for the first time. He spends an entire day watching the light and tides shift on the sea stacks, and he leaves feeling both full and hollow, like a bell that's just been rung.

Mammoth is only Gimli's first stop on a cavern tour, followed by Jewel and Wind Caves and Carlsbad Caverns. Wind Cave is his favorite for the unusual formations. He makes an obnoxious tween boy cry in Carlsbad for breaking off a speleothem.

Boromir is on a tour of military parks. He asks so many questions to the intern working the info station at Fort Sumter the kid has to go find the park historian. His favorite site is Vicksburg because that place was buckwild, though he silently judges one of the reenactors for his clumsy handling of a black powder rifle.

Merry also makes stops in Jurassic and Dinosaur National Monuments. He watches every park video, takes selfies in front of all the fossil exhibits, and earns his Junior Ranger badge at each one. He buys a keychain for Pippin.

Pippin actually gets four citations, mostly for trying to stick his hands in mud pots. He doesn't mean anything by it---he's just so delighted and curious about the bizarre landscape. He winds up with several thermal burns and dumps a king's ransom in the donation box on his last day.

Gandalf gets dinged by rangers for not paying the $5 fee for Trunk Bay, but he acts senile until they eventually decide to drop it. He gets postcards from everyone and responds to none of them.

Faramir and Eowyn are traveling together and do many of the same hikes and rides, but they do have some different preferences off-trail. Eowyn drags Faramir to a rodeo and the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar in Jackson Hole, and he goads her into Ranger Shelton Johnson's living history programs on the Buffalo Soldiers in Yosemite.

Eomer is bike-packing on his sport cruiser motorcycle. He goes to Roosevelt south unit for the wild horse herds but ends up spending half a day watching a prairie dog town. He takes 400 photos of them, mostly blurry, and texts them to Eowyn.

#i actually did legit trip planning for this post #whats my choice? #I'm the ranger in Yellowstone who keeps finding Pippin putting his face in the goddamn paint pots #during office hours I follow the updates of the SAR in Glacier #after that I catch up with Faramir in Teton to hike Paintbrush Divide and casually ask what his brother's up to #oh he's going to be at Fort Laramie next week? #you don't say #when I get back to YELL I put in for emergency days off #do i give a damn about Fort Laramie? no #lord of the rings #lotr #frodo #sam #aragorn #legolas #gimli #boromir #merry #pippin #gandalf #eowyn #faramir #eomer #national parks #31 days of national parks

My alternate self has arrived in Ponta Delgada (on São Miguel island in the Azores) and it looks like the weather will be just bee-yoo-tee-ful for the whale watching excursion tomorrow!

Saturday is also looking amazing weather-wise.

Sunday, not so much.

So I'm going to do a little switcheroo with my itinerary. I had booked a Furnas Valley tour on the Sunday, and was supposed to just explore Ponta Delgada on my own and figure out how to take the bus to Vila Franca do Campo on the Saturday. But there is still space for the Furnas tour on the Saturday and I still have time to cancel the Sunday with a full refund.

So here's my new itinerary to take advantage of the Saturday weather:

Fri Apr 7

Morning: Whale watching tour - 8:30 a.m.

Afternoon: Figure out how to catch the C315 bus to Vila Franca do Campo.

Sat Apr 8

Furnas Valley, Botanical Gardens & Hot Springs Tour

Sun Apr 9

Explore Ponta Delgada on my own (or stay in the hostel and sleep if it's too rainy!)

Bumping the Furnas tour up to Saturday means I have to figure out the bus to Vila Franca on the Friday. I'm sure I just need to ask around a bit to find someone who can point me in the right direction. Maybe even someone on the whale watching tour will know.

For the whale watching tour, there are several time slots available throughout the day, with the first one at 8:30 a.m. There are still seats available for that one so that's the one I'll join. I think mornings tend to be the best time for observing wildlife, aren't they?

Anyway, then I'll still have the whole rest of the day to find out about the bus to Vila Franca. No need to panic! And once I get that sorted out, I might still have time and energy left to do a bit of sight-seeing in town. I've got sight-seeing in town down for Sunday but it might be too rainy to venture out and it might be a better day to stay in and rest.
