Sea Life Arizona tickets for a family?

Taking my 3 kids to Sea Life Arizona this weekend and started looking at tickets last night. Didn’t expect it to be such a mess with all the different sites and prices.

Just trying to find the easiest place to book without overpaying. If anyone’s been recently with kids, where did you get your tickets from?

Retard de vol + bagage perdu en correspondance : grosse erreur de tout mélanger

Petit retour d’expérience parce que je me suis bien fait avoir là-dessus.

Vol avec correspondance, le premier en retard → j’ai couru comme un malade pour choper le 2e… j’ai eu l’avion, mais pas la valise évidemment.

Et là, erreur de débutant : j’ai tout mis dans la même réclamation (retard + bagage). Résultat, dossier bloqué pendant des semaines parce qu’ils “traitaient la perte de bagage”…

En creusant un peu, j’ai compris que c’est pas du tout les mêmes services qui gèrent ça chez les compagnies. Du coup maintenant je fais systématiquement 2 dossiers séparés :

  1. bagage → assurance de la carte (Visa Premier dans mon cas, plutôt efficace)
  2. retard de vol → indemnisation à part

Et honnêtement, pour la partie indemnisation, j’ai lâché l’affaire avec la compagnie après 2 mails sans réponse… je suis passé par AirHelp et au moins ça avance sans que j’aie à relancer tous les 3 jours.

Bref, si ça peut éviter à quelqu’un de perdre du temps : ne mélangez surtout pas les deux.

Last year I saw this documentary called Buy Now - The Shopping Conspiracy, since then I have been trying to be more intentional the purchase I make, and specifically moving away from 100% petroleum-based synthetics like polyester and look for alternative that lasts, so I can buy less. I used to rely on poly-blends because they were cheap (yes, guilty as charged), but I couldn't ignore the microplastic shedding and the fact that they always felt "suffocating" in humid weather. The worst part is because the price is so low, I end up getting more than what I need, and not giving the care that clothes deserve.

One of the ways to counter that is to look for eco-friendlier options like Everlane and definitely stay away from Fast Fashion. The issue with Everlane is that I feel like the quality hasn’t lived up to its brand. On a more positive note though, my latest discovery is this bio-based alternative, specifically wood-pulp viscose. It was a bit of a learning curve to understand the difference between a "synthetic" and a "semi-synthetic" like this. Unlike polyester, which is essentially plastic, this wood-pulp fabric is breathable and biodegradable. While it does contain a small amount of spandex to give it that necessary stretch and recovery, it is drastically better and with the proper washing care (just following the washing label and not throw everything into dryer), my shirts from OGL, this eco brand I found online, seem to last well over a year while keeping the shape and drape.

I’m curious if others have made the conscious effort when you all shop for clothes? Let’s face it, i love that dopamine rush when I add clothes in my shopping cart. I know, it fades quickly too. But what are your tricks to shopping more consciously?
