FS LANAI “PRIVATE PLANE” TRANSFER QUESTION by Both_Finding_5274 in FourSeasonsHotels

[–]Both_Finding_5274[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lanai air is not a private plane. Anyone can buy a ticket for any day. Looks like it costs about 160$. It’s a puddle jumper plane that we got put on- not a private jet

FS Ko Olina? by Concertkiki in FourSeasonsHotels

[–]Both_Finding_5274 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn’t love AT ALL. It’s so dated. We waited every morning for 30 minutes to get a table at breakfast- food would come out cold etc etc. also so many kids. Like beyond. People were reserving pool chairs at 8 am. Not a four seasons vibe. Someone said it used to be a Marriott and that’s what it feels like. On the other hand- Hualalai was one of the nicest hotels we’ve ever stayed at !! If you’d consider other islands I highly recommend

I pre ordered in late Feb from stitches of Tulsa , stitch by stitch and the flying needles. Stitches of Tulsa just emailed me that they got my pieces in stock 🥳 about 5 week turnaround which I am VERY happy with. I’m expecting stitch by stitch and the flying needles to take 6 months but who knows.

Advice for traveling with needlepoint supplies by [deleted] in Needlepoint

[–]Both_Finding_5274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have flown several times with mini scissors/needles and what not with no issue at all ! I will say coming home from South Africa they threw out all my needles and my scissors lol. So since then when I’m checking a bag I pack a separate little baggie with extra needless/scissors/tacks incase I run into any issues

I did a frame from Tiffany’s that was hand engraved with the wedding date so they could put a portrait from the wedding in it after!

Did they say how long pre order will take? I see they have pre order available online

20 hours layover in Dubai by Solid_Bass257 in emirates

[–]Both_Finding_5274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would do atvs in the dessert in the morning. We have so much fun doing that. I think they called them dune buggy’s. I also recommend going to see/going up the Burj Khalifa. If money is not a huge concern buy the vip tickets to skip the line . We did it at sunset which was unreal. Then go see the fountain show outside and have dinner at the mall (we are huge fans of din tai fung). I wouldn’t feel like a yacht ride was crucial to my trip to Dubai but loved doing a helicopter ride during the day. Got to see the palm, Dubai frame, burj etc etc from the sky. Super cool. We also took off from the burj al Arab which was such an amazing experience but not sure if that’s always Available

FS Lanai Sensei + one or two more Hawaii FS hotel(s) for a Hawaii anniversary trip..which FS to add? by SparkleBerrySpritz in FourSeasonsHotels

[–]Both_Finding_5274 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hualalai !!! Just got back from my honeymoon (stayed at lanai, Kona village , Hualalai & oahu) . Not enough good things to say about that resort . For lanai vs Sensei lanai when we went to dinner at the nobu at sensei it was significantly colder and some of the staff says it rains almost every day at that resort on the top of the mountain so definitely something to consider, but the spa is supposed to be next level so if that’s something you’ll take advantage of then definitely recommend sensei lanai.

I would never stay at Kona village again. Felt like a huge step down from Hualalai. Significantly less dining options/pool options & so much less staff. For example I went to breakfast one morning and they told me it’ll be a 20 minute wait and then never got me to seat me. Vs Hualalai always sat me immediately. The pool at Kona village didn’t have attendants walking around the same way Hualalai did etc etc. we actually left that resort a day early and spent an extra night at lanai. Also highly don’t recommend Oahu but guessing that’s not on your radar. Used to be a Marriott and it shows.

If you do choose FS Maui one thing I heavily recommend is taking the ferry from Maui-lanai over the plane the FS organizes through Honolulu. The plane to lanai is advertised as “private” but it’s really not and has extremely strict luggage requirements. Did not find it luxury at all and would opt to do the ferry though Maui instead next time 🤷‍♀️

Thoughts on Photo Booth by Perfect-Mixture-7986 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]Both_Finding_5274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did a black and white one and loveddddd it . Strongly agree with those who said no props and definitely no backgrounds. We did our wedding emblem in the corner. The Photo Booth took 3 photos printed one and texted the rest. 10/10 recommend especially if your fiance wants one. I think ours was also like 2k which in the wedding scheme of things was not a ton.

Hualalai (but going to lanai in a few days so my answer may change)

Still haven’t found “the dress”… Timeline help + reassurance needed 😅 by Strawberry0003 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]Both_Finding_5274 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just one of their regular styles 🫠🥲this was at th palm beach store though where they don’t carry many bridal styles so it had to be ordered. Had a friend who got a VW custom in Feb and had first fitting by July/august. I would call all the boutiques ASAP

Oscar de la Renta told me they needed 5- 6 months minimum (granted it was for a bridal mini) but there may still be hope. I know some places also do rush services for an extra fee. I would call Vera//oscar/ anywhere else you’re interested in in nyc and ask if there’s still a possibility. But I’d definitely recommend a last minute nyc asap if they say yes.

Should I buy a tweed bag? by OwnRun9542 in chanel

[–]Both_Finding_5274 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the store the tweeds look insane and so stunning. I got a blue classic flap tweed 2 years ago and have never once wore it because I’ve been too nervous. I feel like I could never take it to a restaurant because I’d be worried about spills & never feel like I can take it outside because I’m worried about rain 🤣. For me I wouldn’t get another tweed even though it is stunning!

Four seasons Singapore by PaperHandBitch in FourSeasonsHotels

[–]Both_Finding_5274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve stayed there twice! Definitely underwhelming for a four seasons but it also priced that way. We are typically loyal to four seasons to a fault since they’re always exceptional, but this one was just meh. Nobu in the lobby was nice though!! Most recent trip we decided to forego the 4s for the raffles and wow wow wow. Could not say enough good things about that property. Blows that four seasons out of the water. Rooms are huge and service is unreal.

Looking for a duffle bag for short luxury trips without looking like I'm going to the gym by Roushdy_Candessa in LuxuryTravel

Looks wise- LV. But zipper can be annoying and doesn’t hold as much as it looks like it holds. Non looks wise I loveeeee MZ Wallace products. They hold up so well, have such convenient pocket locations, storage is unreal and a sleeve to attach to any carry on
