re: What’s the longest Uber ride you have done?

Was it that much cheaper than flying into Ft. Lauderdale or Miami?
Port Canaveral is just east of Orlando. Flying into South Florida would not make much sense for that cruise port but MCO has rental locations and the port has drop off locations so we ave always rented a one way rental and it;s cheaper than ubers or shuttles.

The upstairs main security station at Salt Lake City was a slightly different story. No huge lines, but my travel companion went through this checkpoint and he said he waited about 10 minutes.

9:01 arrival
9:18 checked in and bags checked
9:22 through TSA
They still had pre check lines setup and operational
Took me longer to get through Delta than it did TSA

Ive skied deeper snow but I have never skied a day in these conditions. Just brutally awesome. Never let up, at all, winds howling so damn strong >9000' as I was just lapping off Dreamscape and Daybreak, people were buying beers for each other, charing backpack beers, felt like an LSU tailgate with nothing but smiles. Kids, moms, dads, bachelors, dudes...it was awesome. Cant wait to get back out there tomorrow with some better visibility.

What a day in Utah boys. I took no photos and just skied but today will try tiocapture a few

Reports are still trickling in the morning as I'm writing a bit earlier than usual. Solitude and Brighton reporting 19" and 17" respectively over the past 24 hours for storm totals of over 20" now. Alta and Snowbird reporting another 15" or so for totals of near 18" for the storm. Park City area with another 12" or so for totals of 13-15". Beaver Mountain with another 9" for 16" storm total. Lesser amounts at Powder Mountain and Snowbasin with 7-10" so far. 6" so far at Sundance
quote:
Anyway, the meat of this wave of the storm isn't even here yet. The moist SW flow will continue through the morning hours. Winds will continue to be strong with more graupely snow likely. The cold front itself will approach the Wasatch and Wasatch Front around midday. That is going to cool us down even further and bring a period of very heavy snowfall through the afternoon.

It wasn't purchased at the airport; that's the point.

I forgot to mention in the post but once you add the card to your doordash wallet for example, it still needs to be used by the date they tell you (not the expo date on the card). But it does give you a few more days to use it.
The daughter appreciated her $35 5oz lobster roll from Freshies here in Park City today thanks to Delta :lol:

Major Taiwanese airline so you'll fly into Taipei there and back but the lounge in Taipei is really nice. The pods don't look as "lush" as maybe other airlines but they are as comfortable as I have ever experienced and the service is top notch.
We prefer flying from IAH and just book our own flights from MSY to Houston. The departing flight out will leave around midnight so we usually find a morning direct flight on southwest or something and then book a room at the hotel at IAH to hang out for the day before boarding the late night flight from IAH to TPE (Taipei).
It's alot cheaper to do it that way (even with the added hotel cost) and if for some reason our flight had issues in the morning we have plenty of time to wait on another flight or in the worst case, rent a car one way and just drive over.

Delta Complimentary meal voucher "hack"
Posted by LSUfan4444 on 2/16/26 at 10:25 pm
If you have had a delayed flight when flying Delta it's likely they sent you a food voucher. The voucher can't be used for in flight purchases but the idea is that you use that voucher at one of the dining establishments at the airport while you're waiting. Far too many times, you don't even get the voucher until you've taken off and a few years ago I tried playing with a few things to see how I could use it and not waste it and always forget to post it...not today.
So the voucher is basically a pre-paid mastercard number (QR code to use at the airport food court) with a exp date and CIV code but usually has an expiration date not that far after your flight. We flew 2/14, had a delay they sent us a voucher and it had an an expiration date of 2/19.
If this happens you you what you can do if you don't spend it in the airport is load that mastercard on to your doordash, Chi Fil A or Starbucks, etc app for payment and use it after you land/arrive.

EVA will fly to Cebu and you can get there from Houston or the west coast. Manilla is 100% skippable IMO and I would make Cebu / Mactan my home base. Savoy Hotel and Belmont (Mactan Newton) right next door are both nice options. We've flown first class on EVA and its top notch. From Cebu you can book a canyoneering day to see Kawasan Falls. We've done it before and after the storm did ALOT of damage to the falls and bottom area so it's not as nice as it was say ten years ago but its still awesome.
The Boracay sunset is incredible. Really fun at night and great bars, live music, shopping, people watching, etc.
Bantayan is gorgeous. Swim with the whale sharks in Bohol.

Maybe an inch or so the last few days but should see 5-6" this weekend and another 6-8" next week. If you didn't know what last years conditions were, it's enough to get you excited.

Every plan is different so you need to check your evidence of coverage or call your insurance company...if they cover cologuard at no cost they will cover a colonoscopy at no out of pocket cost.
I think the confusion may be..IF you have cologuard done as a preventative screening and it comes back positive for polyps then the next step before anything else is a diagnostic colonoscopy which can/might have an out of pocket cost for the patient depending on what's covered in the plan.
But if your plan covered a preventative colon screening at no cost and it covers cologuard at no cost, then a preventative colonoscopy will absolutely be no cost as well.
Avoid the SHIELD test right now, FOBT kits need to be done annually, Cologuard every three years and colonoscopy every 5 years and every PCP and Gastro you will speak to will say "anything is better than nothing" but a Colonoscopy is the standard and best option.

’m 54, had one at 50. Think at 55 gonna do the stool test thing. Then at 60, another colonoscopy
Don't wait 5 years if you're not going to get a colonoscopy. The frequency for cologuard, FOBT kits, etc is shorter than the standard colonoscopy.
