    Hi! I loved your review of the Tripped Travel Gear sets. I purchased the same compressor bag set as you did and the toiletry set as well. Question: On the toiletry set can you tell me what the two straps on the back are for? I’m not sure how I should use it. I look forward to your response. Thank you!

    I use compression cubes and regular packing cubes. You have to be careful in checked baggage to not be over the weight limit because while you can pack more in the compression cubes they make your baggage weigh more. Just a consideration.

    History here is multifaceted and complicated. We have had wars going back to 1680. As a longtime tour guide in the area, I can tell you about the Pueblo Revolt, the Reconquest, the invasion and takeover of the American army and more. Yes, we can be spiritual, but we’ve had our share of violence.

    One thing, Santa Fe is definitely not a spring break destination, so I didn’t quite get that mention. Also, you said it wasn’t noisy like other” big “cities. That’s because it’s nowhere near a big city. It’s not going to have the personality of a big city in anyway. The quietness of it is probably what attracts a lot of people there. It doesn’t attract partiers or late night people I just thought you might need a better understanding of the town, the history, the reason why it’s so popular, before doing a video on it. But I will say toward the end you did talk about the art culture importance of that and I like that part. I do not live there, but I lived in Colorado and went there many times, and I will be going again next winter.

    Santa Fe is the oldest capitol city in the US. It has a population of nearly 90K, plus a lot more snow birds in the winter, which makes it one of the largest cities in New Mexico. But it does a good job at having a smaller town vibe because of its quietness and older population

    Why would you teach someone that. It is wasteful and selfish. Why use trickery?

  • @MeansToTravel
    @MeansToTravelАй бұрын

    So there are actually many circumstances where it is needed in this day and age that wouldn’t be considered wasteful or selfish. For example, if you need to charge a medical device. I just had a baby and I need to charge my travel breast pumps (which are medical devices) at least once per day, and I need to keep myself on a certain pumping schedule. So, often after a long day out, I’ll need to charge them while eating dinner or something so I can use them before the final pumping session of the day. Another example is if your work laptop needs to always be kept at a certain temperature in order for it to be reliable and not at risk of overheating (which is the case for many electronics). Not advocating for reckless use - just in necessary cases. Hope this makes sense!

    Car rental is important. High altitude! Hydrate, limit alcohol. Altitude sickness is real, and can put you in hospital. Get rest. Take a siesta. Consider the Santa Fe Opera or nearby ruins or pueblos, historic sites. Beware the sun! At this altitude, you can quickly fry like bacon. Outside activities are better in morning or evening. Sunscreen is essential, but it is not armor. Buy a hat and wear it. Go to the old Woolworths on the plaza and get a frito pie.

    I totally relate to you. It kinda sucks. That said, my best friend is a flight attendant and she's told me that the menu items are often totally different on different flights, so they aren't trained like waiters in a restaurant to know all of the ingredients in the food. It would kinda be like asking a train attendant if the Snickers or Milky Way bars on their carts have more milk chocolate in them...they probably would have no idea. So in this manner of responding, the onus gets put on the eater.
