  1. Solo TRIP Flying into London on Monday the 24th of Nov. Going to catch a Millwall match on Tues and then a Tottenham match on Saturday. Wed/Thur/Fri to go somewhere else in the UK either day trip or just train out and back. Manchester, Liverpool, Bath, Cambridge? On Saturday the 29th Ill want to leave London on a train in the late afternoon to somewhere. Fly home on the 3rd of Dec. I can add an extra day if needed. Planes, trains, and automobiles are valid forms of transportation. I've been to London four times so I've seen all the tourist attractions. Places I've alerady been fairly recently. Edinburgh,Brussels, Bruges, The Hague, Amsterdam. I do love Amsterdam so I wouldnt mind ending up there and flying home. I have zero desire to go to Paris. I could go back to Ireland. Haven't been there in decades but I only have 2 to 3 extra nights. Ghent? Rotterdam? Antwerp? Should I spend a few days in Germany?
  2. This is true but a few things. It's hot in Texas anyway. Prices are lower because its off season. There is the ocean and pools to cool off. You usually get a coastal breeze.
  3. We're they really scooters? Of just low CC bikes like a grom or something? Because a grom can do the min. As a motorcycles rider I don't even ride on most freeways during the day and no way in hell at night. Having said that if they can maintain min speed it's kind of their right but Id also agree that if they were holding up the flow of traffic get off the freeway. Pretty stupid to think they are on bikes because they cant afford a car some people just like ridign a bike and getting that 55mpg. I have two motorcycles but I can also afford two cars.
  4. You can apply for school choice but its not like you can go wherever you want. If the enrollment is full its full.
  5. We're winning the league.
  6. I'd rather they just raise their required credit score. That would solve a bunch of the problems. You can't tell me all those people have 800 credit scores
  7. Most lounges are trash now. With PP being the worst. AMEX you can barely get into because the whole planet has a plat now and even the guest rule hasnt seemed to help. The united lounges are hti and miss; they can get crazy crowded and they are filled with kids its seems. Its almost better now to sit out in the concourse and have a bite and drink out there.
  8. If you are beholden to a hotel and airline franchise owning their branded cards is a no brainer. There is almost no day to day spending you should do on a plat. The only reason to have it is for the lifestyle credits and the GE/Clear and ailine fee reimbursement which for me personally I can get my fee back. Their lounges are completely unusable at this point.
  9. I will say easily there is nothing that bonds a parent with a child more than motorcycle riding. We do the same things on our coms. He starts to just tell me about his life and my son is very quiet and kepts young man. I am going to take him on one of those one week tours through either Viet Nam or Ireland when he finishes his AD and before he starts at a four year. Appreciate the heads up on the Speed Twin. I have a few business things to attend so a third bike is a fourth quarter purchase. I checked their website but didnt see it.
  10. St. Pete FL. Good night life and restaurants. Nice beaches
  11. When I was growing up here we used to sled down those in the winter
  12. When I travel for work or for my daughters soccer games and I have time to kill I usually find a bike shop. So I am going to dump a crap load of bike pictures on here now. The first are from Memphis and the rest are from CA. I found what must be the biggest freaking motorcycle dealer on the planet. I've never seen so many bikes. Chaparral Motorsports in San Bernadino. Its the size of freaking Walmart. The Triumph Speed twins are in here because I am highly considering one. Probably go 900. Esp if I can get my hand on that green stealth. Or That one was out in CA. I'd love that organe Ninja 650 but not sure my back would appreicate it and I only have room for 4 total bikes in my garage. Oh and the K6 S in in here because I tried it on in Memphis and ended up ordering one online. Delivered yesterday. Crazy light helmet.
  13. Gibbs-White too? Who kidnapped Levy and took the checkbook?
  14. Holy shit. PSG is going to run rule us I'm afraid
  15. I'd like to think Frank said."Ill come but this nickel and dime shit has to stop. Here are the players I want. Sign them"
  16. Just saw a tik tok about this place. It's on my list
  17. I do finance not english grammer. Blow it out your ass. Everyone else seemed to get the point
  18. Roll call. @Chico_SA, myself and his brother are headed to Houston for the final. Should we organize a surly meet up?
  19. Two really huge differences I've noticed between Hilton and Marriott that irritate me. 1. Marriott does not allow you to use your digital key to go directly to your room. I had to stop at the front desk and give them my physical credit card. Hilton no need for any of that. Go straight to your room with your card on file. 2. When booking multiple rooms with different bed types. Hilton allows you to book each room with seperate configuration. Marriott made me book the same number of beds. So I had to make two completely different reservations. Not a deal breaker but an inconveince for sure. I got the Bonvoy card with 100k sub so I will just use those up and then be done with Marriott and continue my love for Hilton
  20. Did some fishing with Tino. This place is changing fast. Big 3 4 story hotels goimg up. I bet blue Tang gets bought soon. The owner is probably 75. I met him and his wife a few trips ago. This is next to the blue Tang
  21. Here. Honestly never seen the BZE airport this crowded. Also Trop made me check my 35l backpack. New policy apperently. Sucks
  22. It would perfect to get the sub and travel credit. Keep until he's done with his trip and then cxl.
  23. Chase Saphire Reserve has a massive 100k SUB. I'd also grab a hotel card or two. Hilton or Marriott. I have the Aspire card. If you stay at Hilton you can really rack up the honors pts. Venture X is a good earnign card but the hotels through their portal are pretty week and I'd had issues booking through their site and a different story when I arrived like. Bookign a king and the hotel had me down for a double. Also half day in Brussels to see the little peeing kid and have a few beers at Delirium Cafe and head to Bruges or Ghent IMO
  24. Headed down on Saturday morning for 4 nights at the Blue Tang. I was supposed to leave on Monday for Roatan but I had some work chaos that I thought would wreck my trip so I cxld it only to find out I dont need to be in office next week. Flights were cheap pre- 4th of July. They triple on the following wknd. Sunday fishing with Tino. Monday Caye Caulker and chill at the Split and then just hang out by the pool. Maybe get a massage on one of those places over the water. Tuesday maybe secret beach/truck stop? Back in time to hit he crab races and win some money. The chicken drop moved somewhere south apparently. Is it even around still? Anything else new? I haven't been since Dec of 2023. I think this is my 8th visit in 10 years Foods. Hit the Caye Mart for eggs, veggies, hot sauce. Cook my own catch. Make ceviche. Blue Tang will set the grill up for me. Hope I get a king mackeral. That is such a great grilling fish. Pupuseria Salvadoreno. Caramba
