Fall Vancouver-like vacation recommendations? Choose your champion.

I posted recently seeking advice for a fall vacation. I related it to my past spring vacation 3 years ago in Vancouver Canada which was my favorite vacation of my life so far.

I really enjoyed the double nature environments of the mountains right beside the beach and snowier mountains only an hour away. Im more of hiker in general.

The city was very multi cultural with delicious food and sections populated by different peoples. Im very adventurous with food albeit i cant eat raw foods due to a health condition.

The 4 listed locations are what were most recommended to. Was wondering which is best and wil get the most votes on here.

Thanks!

Gentillis Exton - fav pizza in chesco

Heyo.

I just wanted to post some appreciation for this spot. Its always good. Even on a busy friday night. The staff are friendly and the menu is locked in. Theyve got a focus on their pizza and sandwiches and thats really all they have to do because its great every time. Pictured is a vodka meatball + longhots, Picante pizza. And i forget the name of the last one but it had a lot going on but it all worked tbh.

Check it out if you're in Exton area!

A healthier coffee ice cream option? (that tastes decent)

I recently learned about an extremely troubling health issue I had and went through a few years of distress. Anyway I'm in good stable shape now but while I can eat whatever I want. I'd like to try to eat healthier. I have a dietician and I'm working on lowering my sodium and increasing fiber etc.

My biggest food pleasure tho(from a young age) is coffee ice cream. I used to eat it every night. Usually Trader Joes/Friendly or Hagan Daz brands. Trader Joes being my top pic. Ive reduced consumption a lot over the past month and am looking for a healthier replacement. I'm a PA USA resident and work in a natural foods store. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Looking to plan a hiking-food-relaxation trip in September. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello there.

28M from PA USA

3 years ago, I went on a trip during the spring to Vancouver CA, that I really enjoyed. I found the nature to be really unique and diverse. There was ocean side cliffs and beaches, a couple of different types of forests nearby to hike in. The city life was also just across the bridge, and it had a really fun multicultural food scene. I can't wait to go back. But I had a complex medical procedure recently and am not supposed to leave the country(although I'll keep asking for permission). I also went to Vermont in October on a solo trip but it was a massive failure. I almost died due to a gradual illness I had no clue I had and spent most of the trip ill in my air B&B and later collapsed on the smallest mountain trail. Before that I went to Asheville, North Carolina which I also enjoyed but it was too much of a beer/hip town if you get me. Also I was with my ex so I'd rather not go back soon. Prior to that, I think I had a few Caribbean trips buit I was way to young to remember them well and currently I dont care for hot Caribbean beach environments.

My trip is scheduled for 5 days in early September. It will be a solo trip. Money is not really much of a concern, plan to spend 2 grand. More is okay.

Is there anywhere in the USA that checks a few of those boxes?

I love to hike and explore. I'm a real foodie and really love seafood(can't eat raw foods due to health issues), but really anything new, culturally or regionally, is interesting. I have not been able to take a vacation in several years, so this is quite important to me. I'm largely recovered from my health issues and can hike normally now without collapsing haha.

Lately I've been looking at Maine but haven't really found my main attraction there other than Acadia National Park.

Let me know if you need more info. Thanks!

Planning a USA trip in September...Hoping for something somewhat similar to Vancouver USA. Any advice?

Wondered what other fans thought bout this scene.

Did a rewatch recently of the 2nd Godfather.

There's an incredibly strong scene where Michael is yelling at Kay and they're arguing and the scene kinda ends rather flatly where Kay says she had an abortion and it just cuts away after Michael's reaction.

Thought this was kinda odd. Like they dont really hash it out past that Michael doesn't explode in rage or sadness really. Its just a fade away. Found it emotionally abrupt. Anyone else feel the same?

Thank you all!

A while back i posted asking what to try next after like 5 TNG re-watches.

A good bunch of folks recommended Lower Decks. And it was truly a fun, emotional and hilarious ride thats really well done and respects the universe. I tried a lil bit of DS9 but it was weird. I really enjoyed the characters but found plotlines kinda slow.

Anyway. Off to Voyager. Thank you all.

Snapper Chowder?

Uhhh this was pretty dissapointing. Restaurant near me had high praise for their snapper chowder. Tried it and just tasted like ground up warm gazpacho with tiny ground up clam bits...

Not sure if this is normal or not for this dish.

Funny interaction I had

So a mod over in the AItrek sub posted this young fantasy stuff which is whatever to me. I just thought Picard looked a bit like young Elon and the dude permabanned me pretty quick after getting insecure and only wanting positive feedback on their "art". Perma muted too. I really dont care. Just thought it was funny and weird. Kinda glad that sub is out of my feed anyway.

What conflict was S7 Ep24 an analogy of?

This was where i first got really filled in on the colonization/border conflicts that occurrd within the Cardasien borders.

For me of course this applies to the Isreal/Palestine conflicts that have happened for decades but i recognize thats a very modernized perspective.

Was there a specfic conflict that had influenced this espisode/conflict throughout the series or is it more of a generalized display of the conflicts in imperialism/colonization?

So today I tried 4 of the many taco trucks/stands in the Kennet/Avondale area

Hey there.

So every once in a while i try to embrace my love for food on my day off and today i went all out on the taco truck scene this way. At first i was going to review each one. But ive only tried a few things at each and felt that would be unfair in some sense.

The reason why is they're all amazing!

I cant really think of any negatives. All the food was fresh and flavorful. All the staff were super friendly. Everything was reasonably affordable. I dont even think I have a favorite.

My advice is to just go for it. Try one of them and try them all. They're all delicious. Hard working and deserve the love. I cant wait to go back and find a new one. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions.

Weird tac level jump, doubled in two weeks with no med changes

Hello there.

Nearly 3 months post kidney transplant 28M.

So I recently had to skip a lab day due to financial struggles. I'm now getting more assistance so that wont be happening again. Anyway, when I went back for labs my tac level had jumped from 8.5 to 16.1.

My coordinator was concerned and kept asking me if I had added or changed any meds. I hadn't, other than missing a mycophenolic acid dose one morning the week prior. She could not think of any other reason for the jump. My dosage was lowered from 5 to 4 Envarsus and well I guess we'll see how it is on Monday.

Any thoughts on why my # doubled?

Best Indian restaurant in the Exton area/perimeter.

So my fav has been letting me down a lot lately. Ive been trying new spots and they all kind of fail on 1 aspect or another and sometimes a bunch. Just wanted to guage the community for best spots to try next.

Id say my current most reliable is Nalan but they dont have all the dishes i usually go for.

I appreciate all parts of indian cooking but especially yogurt/cashew based things. I eat meat and veg. I dig heat but dont go out of my way to find crazy vindaloos.

Appreciate any advice!

Missed my mycophenolic acid dose this morning.

Hi there. 3 months post TX

So tonight while taking my evening meds i realized I didnt take my mycophenolic acid dose.

Should I be especially stressed? Im a a bit since this is my first missed dose and im normally quite good with medication.

All my other meds were taken as normal. I just forgot to load that one in my morning pill section of my planner...

Thanks in advance.
