Let's walk through the steps again to see if we might be missing something. First, you need to place the empty cup in the freezer for 6 to 8 hours. I put it in with the lid on just to make sure the cup stays clean. Then, start pouring in juice, soda, or any soft drink you'd like to make into an ICEE. With this older style cup, you need to constantly scrape the ice off the walls of the cup. As the juice hits the sides of the cup and freezes, you need to scrape it off so new liquid can touch the walls. Continue this scraping process, and gradually, more ice will form inside the cup, eventually becoming a cup of ICEE after a few minutes. There's a newer design where you can now squeeze the cup instead of scraping it: ru-vid.comccnMNHHJ7IU. I hope it works out for you!
It's @BrodusLockhart. I've found fewer and fewer reasons to visit Circus Circus. I used to take my daughter there for the Midway, but even that has deteriorated.
Jimmy, I feel like Pokémon is an integral part of Japanese culture, particularly under the subcategory of animated series. In terms of loving the cuteness of the characters, there is no age boundary, much like with Snoopy and Hello Kitty. Kids typically grow up with the storylines and characters starting from the age of 3 and up. In my daughter's case, her core interest in Pokémon shifted to other sports-related anime like Blue Lock as she developed an interest in playing sports with friends. However, new generations continue to start collecting Pokémon cards, maintaining the cycle (like some of my wife's students). It's somewhat similar to how Transformers or Peanuts are cherished in the US. New seasons are still coming out. And you see the themes around more than you see Mickey in the US. :-). At least how I felt.
Andrew, sorry if there was missing details on my video, but I didn't quite follow what your question was. I just hope you got through Sacramento Airport okay on your trip. Good luck and Have Fun!
Thanks so much for spending the time to let me know the issue. I will try to improve on that. In the mean time if you have any questions you think I can help, please let me know. This time I will try typing 🙂.
It isn’t like a swimming pool, it is more like a beach environment. You will be required to wear a life jacket at all times. I remembered walking out to the floating platform probably about 5 ft. But you will find places that are deeper and some shallower closer to the beach and the cabana. Have a lot of fun Simgrewal1234. The platform is very slippery. Wear water / surfing shoes.
There was a one time ordering rule and a 90 mins limit. But it was more than enough for my daughter and I. It was a fun experience. Thanks for stopping by @Ourhomeschooladventures
I knew it was competitive Jimmy, but I didn't realize just how intense it was. Wait until we talk about the Pokémon Café reservations-it gets even crazier! :-)
@Kelvzen, unfortunately the Dream Wheel costs $25 per person, $19 for kids :( www.americandream.com/dreamwheel/tickets You may find more pricing info here. www.americandream.com/attractions. Have fun on your trip!
I will share more details Jimmy. Especially with the good exchange rate, the package in Tokyo seems to be much better than the ones I've seen in the US. Vacation packages are more magical in Japan if you find that most of the offers match your needs.
That's a very nice and convenient airport hotel. 24 hr Grand Club access is 🔥🔥🔥 If you don't mind me asking - did you book a Club room on pts or do you have Hyatt status? I would stay there flying out of SFO myself. Thanks for the info + video!
It's been a while, Jimmy. Thanks for stopping by again. I booked my room using points. It was a standard room. I gained club access through milestone awards as an Explorist. Globalists have free access to the club at all times, but honestly, I haven't seen many clubs at Hyatt or Hilton that are actually operating in the US. Please correct me if I'm wrong. However, in Asia, clubs and executive lounges seem to be more prevalent.
Japan looks so wicked cool! Definitely on our list of places to visit. Our kids still ❤Pokemon. Hilton. For the Stay. Your Japan trip looks amazing! Thanks for the info + video!
Hello @tonghin, thanks so much for stopping by. I moved to US from Hong Kong for work many years ago. I can read, but can't type in Chinese :-). If there is any travel information you think I may be able to help. Please let me know anytime.
@@roadtripparents Hello, I am going to Great wolf Lodge next week with my kid, and saw your video about that earlier. That's how I found your channel. Thanks so much for sharing where you were having fun.
No need to think too much ☺️. I was staying at an Airbnb while traveling. They didn’t offer free food. Good observation though! Thanks for stopping by @gfamzgfamz1348
I briefly checked out TURO when it was first introduced, but I haven't delved deeper into their insurance options or how they handle unexpected situations. Do you think they have effective policies in place for both renters and car owners? I might give it a try to familiarize myself with the process. Thanks for sharing!
@@roadtripparents they’re covered by travelers insurance, same process as if you were renting from traditional car rental. Car owners have their own set of insurance and they work with Turo directly on that. The biggest key is to read the reviews of the car owners.
it is NOT a safe sport. also, your daughter may have incorrect opinions on if her horse was 'listening'. many children start out and think they're doing it right, but might not be doing anything right. these typed of horses are push button ponies, they don't need much instruction to do the bare minimum.
Thanks so much for taking the time to share your perspective with us Daisy. It is in fact very important for us to approach horse riding with caution and not to become overconfident. We'll certainly keep that in mind. Thank you!
Looks like a great lesson. I was considering it once but the wavier was a little intense but the weather was not permitting in our area but this was great advice
Thanks so much for stopping by again, @Ourhomeschooladventures. You totally got it; I signed the waiver without reading the fine print. I already knew it simply stated that they are 100% not responsible for any incidents (big or small). However, to be fair, the team at the ranch was quite exceptional. I felt extremely lucky on that. Continue to have a lot fun on your journey!
