  1. Great thread with some really good info. Wife has landed on PR as the anniversary destination at the end of March next year. Stay in Condado. Explore Old San Juan Hike/Explore El Yunque nat'l forest. Visit Luquillo Beach on the way to Fajardo for the kayak tour. I will go back and look at the food recs in the thread. She really wants to day trip to Aguadilla, but 4 hrs of driving does not interest me on vacation.
  2. Blazing Saddles sucks and the opposite of funny. Monty Python anything is awful.
  3. Oshmans was the sporting goods store we went to when we visited the big city of Austin.
  4. Just do one 5-6 game parlay for $25 before you leave for the Fair Saturday. 11:00 and 2:30 games only. That way when you come home smashed, you can check your account and only be down $25. Then bet $25 on a west coast game. That way when you wake up after passing out, you will only be down $50 total.
  5. Your comments have been invaluable. You really add a lot to the conversation.
  6. I did, and there are a lot of great mentions. This thread mentions SMdA, but does not have anything super positive to say abt it. I really just want to know if there is another "Sayulita" that I am unaware of on the Pacific coast. Maybe a sleepy surf town near Mazatlan, etc., or some interior local on a large lake where we can get the best of both worlds.
  7. There are direct flights from DFW to Leon (2 hrs away) and Santiago de Querertaro (1 hr away).
  8. The wife wants to go to San Miguel de Allende for our 10 year anniversary next Spring. I had never heard of it until this thread, which does not give it rave reviews. We cut our teeth in Sayulita 2-3 years ago, and really enjoyed the slower pace that non-resort Mexico has to offer. I am more of a Mexico beach person than interior Mexico, but I would really like some advice to push me in her direction. Safety is my #1 concern, and as much as she wants to rent a car, I am against it bc I'm being a P. Our Spanish is very poor. We cannot conversate without sounding like buffoons', hence why I'm more comfortable with more touristy areas. But, I know there has to be somewhere that is close to meeting both of our needs (similar to Sayulita). Oh, and less than an hour drive from a larger airport with a direct flight from DFW would be ideal. Any ideas?
  9. I dread this day. It's 10 years away and I am already dreading it. My entire life revolves around my girls. I love very hard and very deep. I have almost thought it to be better to begin loosening my grip so I don't hurt so bad when the time comes to say goodbye, but I am incapable of that at the moment, which is a good thing. Maybe I will feel differently when they are in High School, but the thought of them "leaving forever" is a dark place that I don't like to visit.
  10. This is the kind of value that only this site can provide. One week? Absolute boss.
  11. I was thinking the exact same thing. Just don't do it! And is that why Kenny was such a waffler on wanting to go home, yet still wanting to compete?
  12. Park City, UT trip booked for January 17-20. Deer Valley sounds like a little much for us. Plus, the prices are much more reasonable at the Canyons base. Staying next to the Grand Summit where I have stayed before, so the location is good. Really getting excited for some snow, now.
  13. When someone gets evicted, its like a damn funeral in the house. Quinn was sobbing like a bitch after Joseph was dismissed. Unreal feelings in this house.
  14. Angela thinks she controls the house. The fact that she said "I don have the votes to keep you," so I'm voting against you, and then he stays anyway was just hilarious. I can stand her fake crying. Zero actual tears. It makes me ragey.
  15. When Tucker used his latest power referring to Angela twirking via Rubina, he thought it was gonna land like a Chris Rock special, but instead he got crickets, and everyone saying that only Angela would find that BS funny. That attempt ALSO backfired and is putting negative attention on Angela. Such a slap in the face. I loved it.
  16. I think she should have it removed bc I don't like it.
  17. I think T'Kor has a hearing impediment. I'm trying to make up an excuse for her POS accent. It is just killing me inside.
  18. The Port Chester Whooping Crane
  19. Prob my favorite scene in the whole movie.
  20. Does anyone have experience with Deer Valley, UT? I need to get on booking this trip for January '25, and I've never been. I will have 7 & 8 yr old girls who will need to be in lessons for a day or 2 before venturing off with me. Is there a good ski school here? Also, I need a place to stay that has a GREAT bar scene so my wife can "work" and people watch. Dago, My wife gave me permission to take the family to ski Europe in 2026. Any family friendly places in the Alps (the closest to an airport the better) you would recommend? I know this is not going to be cheap, but we do not require Euro luxury. 3-4 days skiing intermediate terrain is all we need. Is Geneva the closest airport to fly into? I have not even looked in to this yet as i ned to focus on Utah first for this season.
