  1. Jesus!

     

    Nassau and Jamaica?

    Heres what I’d look at  

    St. John, BVI, Providenciales, Isla Mujeres, Anguilla, St. Vincent & The Grenadines, St. Barth’s, Exuma, Eleuthera, St. Kitts & Nevis.   Start with those.  I probably missed a couple.   

     

  2. I agree with two days in Venice.   If you’re adventurous there are tons of books and crannies to explore in the city. Despite what spanky said we found the water in the canals to be fine in the heat of August.  No smells at all.

    Hey asshole we are all in sales here. You don't need to use those Intro to Sales lines on us. 

     

    Happy Friday! 

    It’s how I do it man. Month to month I find that if I stick to the basics it works.  Then again, I own the fucking company so it’s me that is at risk.

    Checking in to see how fellow sales professionals are doing.

    Slow start but 2nd quarter looks like it's going to make it a helluva good year.

    Company is at 80% of our gross revenue from last year. Killed it in the first quarter.  Of course, I’m always worried where the next project will come from but they do keep coming. 

    I’m a relationship seller but we deliver what I sell.

    Belize is nice for the beaches & diving, of course, but afaik it's no safer than Mx. T&C, CR, both much farther and more expensive to get to than CUN. We do plan to get back to CR soon with the boys though & Siesta looks very nice, but I doubt we could do it cheaper than we do Mx for comparable accommodations. Vieques was pretty nice in PR when we went, before the island got pretty much destroyed. But that was a pretty long haul compared to the flight to CUN. All fucking day in planes or airports. Not much better for any of the islands over there, but some of them are very nice. I personally am very partial to the Latin flavor of Mx though. 

    If by Belize you mean Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker I agree.  Most of the rest of the country is dirt poor and Belize City is the biggest shithole I’ve visited and I’ve visited a few. 

  6. And great sport fishing.

    Cabo isn't my cup of tea.  There's way too much Americanization (that a word?) for my tastes.  If it has a mall and fast food and is over priced then it's not a place I want to be.  However, I can see the appeal for some and particularly for fishermen or for something like a bachelor party.

  7. Yep.  Always do transfers in Cancun.  Avoid the cabbies like the plague.

    I'm guessing he didn't eat at Bastos if it didn't make his list.

    RE:Hidalgo Street.  It's only annoying if you let it be.  A simple no gracias suffices 99.99% of the time.  They're just trying to make a living.

    Yep, we were told it was near the end of its window. Everyone at the table thought it was excellent.

     

    Barbera isn't a wine that typically gets cellared.

  9. Barbera is one of my go to everyday drinking wines.  Nice price point too as I can usually find one easily in the $20-$25 range that is delicious.

    Wife and I are headed there in late July early August for a quick getaway to celebrate my 40th birthday.  Narrowed it down to Privileges or Secreto.  Which would y'all recommend?

    We’ll only stay at Hotel Secreto from now on. The treatment and service from the staff is superb and the location is perfect.   Quiet at night but close enough to Hidalgo Street and Playa Norte that I can walk to either in a few minutes.  

  11. If the goal in Italy is to eat pizza you’re doing Italy wrong. There is so much more to Italian food than the Americanized Italian food eaten here.  Yes. There’s pizza in Italy but pizza is the tip of the iceberg and much of Italy’s fantastic food does not feature the tomato or tomato based sauces.
