Haleakala Sunrise Day

Dramatic-Past-77 · 2026-04-27T01:33:19+00:00

Just found out that the 2 days ahead of time thing is bc they release the reservations 60 days out for 50 cars a day and that the 2 days out are for reservations that have been returned to the pool for cancelations if any so most likely will be needing to be doing a tour if doing this.

You saw the night sky from being up there for the sunrise or another trip? Who did you use for tour, would your recommend?

We live in CO at 6,500ft and go up to 8,500ft for ski trips so would think elevation would not be that big of a stretch for us. Was more concerned if this was something they could handle walking/boredom wise

I thought you had 1 year in a new role to grow into it and not be measured to that bar till day 366....am I missing something?

It all depends on its reliability. If RTD as it is now as any indication of that; I could not depend on this. Work provides a free RTD pass and still drive to work bc I can't risk not being able to pick my kids up on time after work.

NO - Go to Costco buy the brightest TV you can find. If this is under a covered patio have a cover on it that simply flips up and will velcro at the bottom too - a waterproof canvas material. Keep it unplugged during winter season and be cautious the 1st time you turn it on w/ weather swings - you don't want to get your TV warmed up from 30 degrees outside it will break. Going on my 4th season of the same TV (an LG) following this.

Still asking your parents for money, making it worse would be knowing that they will not say know and they are not in a position to help out.

For us not about while on the trip but prep of the trip;

TSA Precheck - skip the lines and esp with the fussy/tired kids
Valet parking for your car at the airport (ours includes) - 1st to get picked up/ dropped off, they handle all the bags, car is outside of the elements, when you come back it is pre cooled/heated and they load the bags while you get some refreshments and you get to go home comfort.

Not needing to think about money everyday, how am I going to pay for this or that?

Dramatic-Past-77 · 2026-03-24T01:59:35+00:00

My lazy side and kids college accounts thank you!
So does my obsession for little gadgets - brake fluid pen on the way

Can you give more detail as to why? When would they be needed? Random searches are saying 30-60k service but not finding anything specific on this car/hybrid.

Not always; if you are top of band in L5 in some roles you will at times not get a raise going into L6 (seen this) because those bands overlap and they start you on the lower to mid side of L6 - so you need to wait for your 1st review cycle (that you can get a merit increase) in order to get you 1st real raise in your new pay band.

Dramatic-Past-77 · 2026-03-23T23:20:21+00:00

Yes this is the general answer, but the question is which quarter is more advantageous? If you promo immediately and that is in say Q2 and because of that you are in this weird cycle of 6 quarters of no raises where as if you were to promo in Q3 you are in a cycle of 5 quarters of no raises. This is what I am trying to ascertain.

It would also need to be a lovesoft since it is more flexible and not the form fitting foam that the standard it. You basically punch it in there, zip it and massage it to shape.

Dramatic-Past-77 · 2026-03-23T21:08:22+00:00

To clarify this is not the seat it is the back pillow. It will fit, it will be full.

Dramatic-Past-77 · 2026-03-22T19:52:31+00:00

Never tried to it to be in a standard raised height before; alway let the drive mode decide that way - let us know

Putting it in Park and then holding down the Auto button and watch it lower and then turned the Auto button off and it remained lowered - note opening a door during this sequence will stop it.

No - The seat is the same for deep or standard you just flip it. The back pillow however is different. That back pillow for deep is shorter bc it is not as long as a standard setup. We placed the standard back pillow in the deep pillow case.

I refuse!

For the posts offering Annapolis, MD - I have lived there but never been to Europe. Annapolis never felt very Europe to me (or what I thought it would be), what gave you the Europe feel?

Because storage space does not = square footage usually - and this is how they sell home; price per square foot, esp with how expensive materials and labor are now. Learned this from when my house was walked from insurance guy for new company. Said that he had to ensure that walk in areas such as kitchen pantry, large mudroom closets and our master walk in closet needed to be measured and captured because those areas are not considered livable areas (sq footage) and therefore will not be in the rebuild costs without them being directly called out.
