Lol, this is far from a visa. This is more like a 10 minute certification you can do online. Europe wouldn't want to implement the type of visa requirements they do for other countries. Paris would drop out of the top 10 most visited cities in an instant.

Ask any non-American Nigerian you know about filing a visa to go to the UK or Europe. I bet you they'll have stories for days.

Question: Any of y'all ever traveled to a location, domestic or international and upon leaving you just had this urge to go back and "do it right"? Like the trip was great but it could have been much better if you had just a little bit more knowledge about the destination.

Westcoast brehs...

Flying out to my cousin's wedding at the end of next month in Oakland.

But flights are cheaper going flying into San Francisco. Shorter too since flights there are no non-stop flights going into Oakland.

I'm only staying for the weekend. How is the drive from Francisco airport into Oakland? Should I fly into Oakland instead?

Not much difference between the two other than the size of the Airports. Oakland is like Lovefield while SFO is like DFW International.

How much of a price difference are we talking between the two? If the wedding's in Oakland, I would fly into there.

Oakland's Airport is near the Oracle (Warriors arena) but SFO is far away south from the city.

I found a non-stop with SouthWest into Oakland. I'll have to drive to the Baltimore airport though...about 45 minutes away from me. Here in the DC area, there are two other airports within 20 minutes of me.

Paid around $400 for the ticket. Flying out of Reagan or Dullus would have cost me at least $150 more.

Samba Parade in the Sambodromo.


Apologies for the portrait orientation...was trying to get some IG vids as well. Check out the African features on the float. It was very uplifting to see so many beautiful Black Brazilians in Rio. Many fine sisters with African styled braids...for some reason I wasn’t expecting that.
