Preparing For a Trip! .:. WorkerBee PH-Pool Week 220
Yesterday, I had an idea to write a post about the preparations for the trip tomorrow, but so many things have changed in just a few hours... Have no idea where to start... Firstly, the event where I plan to go (and I hope that I will eventually get there) is Hive Creator Days, in Graz, Austria, organized by @BuzzParty...

I'm not that of a plane traveler, maybe 1-2 times per year, and my last trip was last September, when I went to #HiveFest in Split, Croatia... I was travelling light (only a backpack), and I had to change 2 planes to get there, and 2 to come back, with 2 different companies, Ryanair and Vueling... I knew about their strict baggage rules and I had a backpack that was slightly bigger than allowed, but I went through all 4 planes without issues... But...
I took my backpack out of the closet, and began planning what to bring to my trip to Graz, when I took a look and paid a bit more attention to the baggage rules... To my surprise, they have changed the dimensions of the "small bag," making it even SMALLER!!! I had no idea about that as they did that change last year in October, right when I came back from my last trip... Btw, they are changing the rule for a small bag every now and then, keeping the travellers on their toes... Of course, the "free" bag is shrinking every time...
Long story short, my backpack is over 5cm wider, and I had to change it for a smaller one...
Another unpleasant surprise happened today when the whole of Spain and Portugal were left without electricity!!! It's something that NEVER happened on this scale, and I think there is no proper explanation (YET) why and how that happened... At the moment of writing this post, I'm using my mobile internet connection (as my fiber network at home doesn't work) and everything works very wonky...
At least I have checked my plane tickets and I hope that plane will land off!
IMPORTANT NOTICE: I will pay out the BEE and SPS tokens when my Internet connection gets more stable...
Let's see the WorkerBee Pool numbers for this week...
This week, we have mined 91 BEE tokens in total!!!
This week, we lost one delegator, but we got new delegations from old members, too! Thanks guys! Appreciate your support!
This POOL doesn't have fees, and you get up to 20% MORE by delegating to it!
What about the bonus tokens?
It was very nice to see the SPS token price ramping up during the last 2-3 weeks... The price did drop a bit in the last week, but maybe we have found the new bottom... Of course, that's just my speculation, and time will tell the truth... In any case, Splinterlands players were thrilled to see that the main game token isn't dead and it can go UP too!!! I'm not play as actively as I did in the past, but I do have assets in the game, including staked SPS tokens, but also some amount in the liquidity pools!
There will be distributed 170 SPS tokens to the delegators of the pool as a bonus reward today!
As always, in the end, let's give the exact numbers for this week... 91 BEE tokens and 170 SPS tokens will be distributed as a bonus... The APR (without the bonus) was 4.479%, and when we added the bonus, it went up to 5.387%!
I have calculated the ROI approximately with medium prices for all tokens at the moment of creating this post... So, those numbers are valid if you bought WB and sold BEE tokens at the middle HiveEngine price...
Do you want to sponsor the PH-Pool with your tokens, receive a short SPONSORED segment in this post, and raise awareness about your front-end or dApp? Please let me know in the comment section, or contact me through Discord or Twitter, and we will find the best solution for both parties...
If you want to join the WorkerBee PH-Pool, the only thing that you have to do is to STAKE tokens to YOUR account and DELEGATE your staked WORKERBEE tokens to THIS account (@ph1102)! Every week, you will get your portion of mined BEE tokens and BONUS rewards!
.:. DO NOT STAKE TOKENS TO MY ACCOUNT!!! Just DELEGATE! .:.
All payments will be made after publishing this post...
If you have any questions, please leave them in the comment section!

I wish you good luck and a safe travel my friend! This trip with a smaller than small backpack? You are a true traveler :D I also am forced to pack a bit less stuff because thats all I can fit between the decorations and merch in my car haha
See you in Graz man - I am exciiiiited!
I don't like to take more luggage as we tend to walk a lot around... and to take heavy bags around isn't fun...
See you soon! 🍷
Thanks for the overview!
Yeah, read about the power outage in the news here… quite unbelievable, especially in this time and age. Quite curious to see what the reason will have been… they have been warning people over here in Belgium as well to make sure to have an “emergency kit” ready for when this happens…
Anyway… wishing you heaps of fun in Graz!!!

You just got DUO from @borniet.
They have 1/1 DUO calls left.
Learn all about DUO here.
Well, I went on a trip this morning and moved my focus to other stuff. I didn't follow updates, so I have no idea what the reason was for the blackout. I suppose it will take a few days to get the truth. If we get it... 😃
Indeed… IF we ever get it… As far as I know there still isn’t a reason known? Funny enough, even Greenland was without internet in parts due to your outage :-D

For such trips, when we both go, I take one ticket without luggage, and the other with, and then we pack together in one suitcase, depending on the number of days, a trolley suitcase or a checked suitcase of 20 kg or 32 kg.
Entire peninsula without power?
Strange, I didn't see anything on the news.
That's why the existence of a bc server is important to be in every corner of the world?
That was out plan for this trip, but we didn't have that much luggage to fill up the additional bag... lol... So, in the end, we went for backpacks
We heard that there was no news about it in Serbia at all... I suppose there is other stuff that the news from there is more worried about... 😃
Lucky guy! Can't fill your suitcase? 🙂I always pay extra for weight gain, that's why I take a hand scale with me when I travel.
I read it in some online newspaper this morning, although I was woken up early this morning by a colleague who traveled to Madrid, with a question about the interruption of the internet on the phone. I knew it wasn't up to that (she didn't turn on data roaming), but I knew she would have problems with the crowds at the airport.
And in Serbia, different news, like in 1996/97. Police with batons and pepper spray on students in Novi Sad. Scumbags🤬

I don't know how you find so much time, but I hope you have a great time there, man. I hope the electricity problem is solved when you get back. It must be so frustrating...
It was tense yesterday with the blackout... Many cities didn't get electricity until late night hours... Luckily, we managed to do our stuff and we are already in Austria!
I'm happy for you man. At least you have electricity in Spain now right?

I heard it made the news that the country is in complete chaos because of the outage. Has there been any official announcement why it happened?
I think there is no official statement yet... As I have traveled out from Spain this morning, I don't know more details...
Crazy times. But, it's probably one of those blackouts that will not last more than a week.
When the intention of the drip is made, it must be fulfilled because for the past few years we have been making friends but we have not been able to act yet. The good thing is that you are going now, so we will share the experience there with everyone, we will be happy.
I will try to prepare a couple of posts about the event... When I catch time...
Stay tuned... :)
Ok. Waiting.
Crazy times. Wishing you all the best and safe travels.
Thank you very much! It will be a lot of fun, for sure! 🍻
If I'm not wrong for the blackout it was some climate issue... Ryanair is always lame with bag measurements
It's too early for final conclusions about the reasons for the blackout... I suppose we will hear soon the "official" statements...
2 planes in a day would be a headache for me :) Last time I also travelled with a backpack with 3 kg allowed, however no one checked it 😄
1 plane per day is already a headache for me.. hahaha...
Well, we passed the first "test" flight... We only have another one to pass when we will go back home... :)
Have a fun and safe trip. It's too bad that there was a electricity outage today for you.
Thanks for running the pool and for the BEE/SPS tokens
You are welcome with the tokens! And thanks for the good wishes! It will be a lot of fun to hang out with so many cool Hivians!
Cabin bag size shrinking is a travel evergreen :D Anyway, safe trip!

Upvoted 👌 (Mana: 0/75) Liquid rewards.
I suppose we will soon travel naked, with tickets tattooed on our skin... 😂
hahahaha
Oh and we can't forget that on the way back from that trip in September you were carrying your backpack full of stones x'D
Hahahahah... True... This time, she was carrying stone from Spain to Austria... 😜 But, tbh, I didn't check bags so maybe I was carrying... 🤔 🤣
Safe travels. Hopefully it doesn't affect your flights.
Thanks! We landed in Austria 20 minutes earlier than planned! 😃
So far, so good!
Woohoo SPS thank you!
You are welcome!

@borniet(1/15) tipped @ph1102
Come get MOONed!
Still not clear what happened with power over there? I hope you won't have issues with your plane!
I'm already in Austria! Everything was fine on the trip!
Thanks!
Enjoy for time in Graz!
