Hopefully no rain in Tahiti, they have a lot of rock sidewalks and my shoes were like sliding on them when it was raining and I did fall a few times. The hotel we stayed at pre-cruise gave us big umbrellas to use while out for the day, but that did not stop my falling. I walk a great deal so I was not hurt, but a homeless man helped me up both times. Yes, there are quite a few homeless people that would really like to have your food storage containers you take home from restaurants.

Yes Waypoints formelrly CYOA. We have our boats registered to go to the BVI's as well but a growing number of clients opt to stay in the USVI and teh SVI.

If you’re visiting the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry or the Obama Presidential Center from downtown Chicago, CTA’s #10 express serves both year-round, including weekends. It runs from North Michigan Avenue through the Loop. The CTA route page lists the last northbound #10 at 6:10 p.m. on weekdays and 6 p.m. on weekends. For a later return, check the #6 Jackson Park Express. It also serves both destinations and runs substantially later, but check the stop and departure for your date.

If you’re flying through LAX and taking Metro, the C and K Lines stop at LAX/Metro Transit Center. From there, take the free Metro Connector Shuttle from bays 1 or 2 to your terminal. Going the other way, look for the pink LAX Shuttle sign on the lower arrivals level and board the Metro Connector Shuttle.

LAX lists shuttle hours as 4 a.m. to 1 a.m. daily, with buses about every 10 minutes on average. The airport’s SkyLink people mover is still in testing and certification as of Nov. 7. For a future trip, check the airport’s page for any opening announcement.

If you are planning to use Muni buses, streetcars or Metro in San Francisco, SFMTA is gradually retiring the MuniMobile ticketing app. Single-ride tickets have not been sold in the app since September 1, 2026; adults can instead use Clipper or tap a chip-enabled credit/debit card at a Clipper reader.

Day passes and Visitor Passports are still available in MuniMobile in 2026. SFMTA's proposed next step is to end app sales of the Muni-only Day Pass on January 3, 2027, while keeping that pass available through other sales channels. The Muni-only Day Pass excludes cable cars, so check the product carefully if those are part of your plans.

Before buying for a future visit, check SFMTA's current transition schedule: https://www.sfmta.com/getting-around/muni/fares/munimobile
