Creole Creamery in New Orleans makes the best ice cream on earth and I will fucking fite over it.

My absolute fucking favorite. So much so I take a train 40 minutes into San Francisco just for their ice cream. Secret breakfast and their bourbon caramel topping are amazing.

Bay area has a lot of good dairy products. Happy cows live here and such. Holy shit taking a 40 minute train ride for ice cream though.

That's BART for you. Hell assuming no delays it can take about 90 minutes to get from the east bay to SFO via BART.

I go to the Ferry building off Embarcadero station which has an awesome farmers market and indoor market too so I typically make a trip if it.
Recently went to the Walt Disney Family Museum in Presidio area which is an easy free bus ride to also.

I've actually never ridden bart... mostly because it doesn't come up here. But damn I could ride my bike faster than that. Can't wait till they finish SMART... or really until they finish the promised walking/bike path along it that they are trying to weasel out of even though it was the final selling point in us agreeing to raise local taxes.

Ah I can see that I guess if not much in the way of markets down there. But we got a bunch up here anyways though probably not as fancy.

Bart depending on where you're going even if it's a bit slower can be less of a hassle then driving. We use it mainly if going to San Francisco or A's and Raiders games

Found 2 cheap flights to Spain in September... One is nonstop but out of fucking jfk and arrives there at 7am and I might not be able to do that early if a check-in. The other is out of Newark but has a 44minute layover in Montreal. 44 minutes? How the fuck? Looks like it's a completely different flight with a three and a half hour layover for us.

**Fondue** · 2017-03-31 06:06

What are the chances of missing a connection with a layover that short on an international flight?

You shouldn't be able to book a 44 minute layover. MCT at YUV is 65 minutes. I would budget 90 minutes minimum unless you know the airport.

Fly out of JFK. What hotel chain are you using? Most will accommodate early check-in provided you have basic status (I.E. signup for the rewards program) and you call ahead. SPG/Marriott are great about it at most properties if you let them know.

I can say for certain there are going to be a LOT of really cheap flights to Europe in the next 2 years. Wow Air, Norwegian, and Aer Lingus are all dropping fares. Wouldn't be surprised if you could hop to Gatwick/Dublin/Orly/CDG for under 300 bucks with the amount of planes they are all bringing online.
I found a flight from Stewart (In Newburgh, NY) to Edinburgh for 240 dollars all-in. 240 DOLLARS TO FLY TO SCOTLAND.

Needless to say I fucking booked that shit.

Dude jfk sucks old balls. And for air Canada or whatever it was the minimum is 40 minutes lmao. How is that even legal.

JFK depends on the airline you're flying. Even T1 isn't that bad. It's 1000% better than LGA or *shudder* Newark.

For international connections 40 minutes is WAYYYYY too short.

**Boyiee** · 2017-03-31 08:28

Yeah I was shocked they even allow that. Like what the fuck how do you even get there that fast.

Jfk might be better internally but the trip there is old hot garbage in July.

Depends on how you're getting there and what time the flight is. I usually do early early flights and take a car service. Costs like $70 and get there in 40-45 mins from the top of the Bronx. If you try to go even in the middle of the day when everyone should be at work, I'd be looking at 1.5 to 2 hours easy.

Well there's the first mistake.

If you can get to Manhattan easily you can just take the A train. Long trip but it's cheap as fuck.

**Tokitoki** · 2017-03-31 08:58

And not all the A's go out there. Have to get the right one.

VERY true. Almost made that mistake once.
