There is no way you can do all of what you planned on day 5.

Really? I assumed the following:
Athens to Corinth Bridge/Canal - 45 minute drive
Explore Corinth Bridge/Canal - 30 minutes (seems like there's nothing to do but just look at the canal)
Corinth Bridge to Mycenae - 45 minute drive
Explore Mycenae - 1-2 hours
Mycenae to Epidaurus - 45 minutes
Explore Epidaurus - 2-3 hours
Epidaurus to Nafplio - 30 minutes
Enjoy Nafplio in the evening/night time.
----------------------------------------------------
Approximately 3 hours of driving
Approximately 6 hours of exploring

Seemed like it was possible... Mycenae and Epidaurus doesn't seem like there's much to do there. Are my exploration times wrong?

Also, why not take the metro to/from Piraeus ?

We could. Didn't think that much into transportation w/o a rental car yet.

Okay makes sense if you're traveling with your wife then. Otherwise I'd say you're tripping not to do hostels.

Why, what am I missing from not using hostels? We were originally planning on hotels 100%, but a close friend told us Airbnb is trustable and very cheap. So we're going to give Airbnb a shot.

I'm not sure I'd want to spend that much time in Athens. Maybe cut a day there and give some leeway for the rest of the trip (if the itinerary falls behind). Shout out to Nafplio, have family out there.

It's only two real days. Last day will probably be nothing, because we have to get to the airport.

And the sex with local ladies? Where does that fit in?

My wife will probably not approve.

I hope you aren't staying at hotels the entire trip.

Airbnb primarily, but when not available, hotels.

Remember this

Why is that so negatively rated on YouTube?

Because:
A) They get extra data from your form entries for marketing,
B) They can deny rebates for any small error netting them the full profit, and
C) People forget to send it in, netting them the full profit.

Because we do...?

Huh? I thought we didn't. Like there's no pill to kill a cold, like there's a pill to kill bacteria infections.

Explain it to me like I'm a child.

Another option is that Netflix lets multiple people watch at the same time, so an owner might be subletting it so pay less.

That's true.

TheVipaGTS posted...

why would you consider that?

If they are legitimate (e.g. potential scenario one and two from OP), it's saving lots of money: ~$20 vs ~$120 per year.

Get SwiftKey. It'll learn from what you type, and can be transferred to a new phone/sync across your devices via cloud login.

I am guessing no, but does anyone know from experience?

For example, on eBay, they sell one year access for around $20... Not sure if this is:
*Foreign accounts where it is that cheap in the foreign markets,
*Perk accounts that are "free" that the owner wants to sell (e.g. T-mobile customers get Netflix for free),
*Stolen/hacked accounts, or
*Accounts purchased with stolen/hacked credit cards.

AdGuard is worth it because it works without root by funnling stuff through a VPN that it maintains and blocking ads there.

Block This! seems to do the same thing as well. I'm guessing because of the high price tag, AdGuard might have better/more updated filtering and "non-essential" features.

vbty3 posted...

Use browsers that have Adblock natively

Does Chrome have? I really enjoy the Chrome sync.

My phone is not rooted, so solutions that modify the host file, like AdAway, are not an option.

I Google'd and found one free and one paid that seems very promising:
*Block This! (free)
https://block-this.com

*AdGuard ($25!!!)
https://adguard.com

.........................wtf is AdGuard, and is it worth it? Googling it briefly, and all I can find are sponsored articles or FAQs about AdGuard straight from AdGuard's own website.

If it was a written warning, you're in the system. Either way, you got lucky. I would think about this before insulting cops in the future (not accusing you of doing so).

next time i would let them pass, its not worth getting worked up with someone committing a crime in a school zone. fine doubles/triples. cant remember how much it goes up.

Seems fair
I'm honestly not sure why you felt the need to do that

I don't know. I guess my emotions got the better of me. I couldn't believe the lack of respect the driver had for parents and their little ones (though I say that and did the same thing... at least not in a school zone!).

The road:
Elementary school zone with parents and children walking around. The road is one lane per way. Speed limit is 20mph during school hours. I was going 15-20mph cautiously looking out for kids that might dart out into the road.

The situation:
Truck behind me gets fed up, drives towards oncoming lane and passes me. Shortly after he passed me, school zone ended and speed limit is raised back upto 30mph, I sped up (probably over 60mph), passed the truck via the oncoming lane, got in front of him, and went 30mph.

The aftermath:
Within a minute of me getting in front of him, a police officer pulled us both over... he apparently saw the whole thing. He let me off with a warning (p.s. does this mean it's on my "record" unofficially?), and told me he's going to write one hell of a ticket for the truck driver.

Her name is Nagasawa Marina.
