We will be bringing only our backpacking packs (~55L, but we're short so they might look bigger on us), flying through MIA (Miami) to SCL (Santiago) then PNT (Puerto Natales) and the same route back. Our backpacks are technically over the allowed carry-on dimensions. How strict are Delta/LATAM with their carry-on policies? Is it common for them to weigh/measure bags at the gate?
I’m aware this isn’t best practice but I’m trying to pack very light for a hut to hut, and just a smidge short on space. Would it be a terrible idea to store some items (thinking whatever will fit of my rain cover, pants, jacket) inside my climbing helmet that will be strapped to the outside of my pack? Figure this will save a bit of space, allow for easy access, and they’re soft items which won’t suffer from weather. I’ll be using my Osprey Tempest Pro and the Gregory helmet holder with a Black Diamond Capitan helmet.
We have an AV1 trek planned for the latter part of next week into the following week, but the weather forecasts look miserable. I know it can change quickly, but someone please give me hope that our time won’t be ruined with neverending rain and misery!
Hi all! We have tickets for the Basilica for 8:30a with a Dome climb at 9:30a, and entrance to the Coloseum at 12p. Is this enough time to see the Basilica and get to the Coloseum? We're a bit worried about the time but it was a rush to get the Coloseum tickets. We're both in pretty good shape but unsure about the traffic in climbing the stairs
Edit: We're doing the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel another day - we would just be looking at the Basilica in the morning. We just couldn't fit the entire Vatican itinerary into one day since we wanted to attend the Papal Audience. We'll also be exploring the Forum and other sites after our Colosseum entry time. Thanks!
In the mad rush to book tickets, we ended up with 2 extra for 6/19 12p. Willing to sell for face value ($30 USD) - payment and full names of new visitors required before transfer since a name change submission is needed
We received our item from Chewy today but it came without any safety seal - is this item supposed to have a seal? The box was glued shut but the bottle just had a twist on cap and no seal.
18yo neutered DSH, stage 4 kidney disease
Our cat, 18yo neutered DSH, has end stage CKD which progressed quite quickly. He just finished a course of clindamycin for a dental infection, and is currently on Hills Science k/d wet food, buprenorphine every 12h, and Cerenia+Mirataz+50mL subQ fluids every other day. We just started the every other day regime about a week ago. In the past couple of days, he’s been massively shedding fur in clumps, sometimes with dead skin attached, and now has bald spots all over his joints and chin. Any thoughts on the what to do? Diagnostics and/or treatments for the dry skin and to prevent irritation and infection? I have his latest bloodwork from about 2 weeks ago, kidney numbers very elevated but no signs of hyperthyroidism, proBNP was normal, and iron was a bit low but not anemic.
