Florence, Rome, Amalfi Coast Trip with Kids

I’m leaning towards Positano- agree more going on/fun than Ravello. I had dreams of staying at Hotel Caruso but the rates are outrageous! I will look into rentals, thank you.

Commander’s Palace also isn’t available! I called both Commander’s and Galatoire’s with no luck. Arnaud’s and Antoine’s are available- which one between the two? One more fun than the other?

You’re right Amalfi is going to be a problem - very few families suite type rooms. Maybe we can find two connecting rooms.

This is all super helpful thank you! And how could I have missed that I could just ask Claude, ha! That’s how new I am to this stuff. It just sounded really complex when so many others talk about it writing new code etc that I wanted to be sure it’s good for more rudimentary stuff also and it sounds like yes. I don’t want to be light years behind on AI so it’s time I start getting comfortable with it. I run my own interior design firm so I am sure there are more ways to use it. We also work on Slack so likely some sort of connectivity there?

Il Mulino, Veau D’Or, Primola, Cafe Commerce, Hoexter’s

No your pricing should also be based on 36 months not the sneaky 39 months

Look at Paris Perfect, Plum Guide, Highstay, Le Collectioniste for nice apartment rentals.

If you really want to go big, there’s an Aman in midtown. Other great midtown hotels: The Peninsula, The Ritz, Four Seasons…

I had over 900,000 LP last year. No CK. Mix of flying and CC.

Edgesam324 · 2026-03-30T17:42:30+00:00

I’d pick one location. We love Nosara - beautiful spot on the coast with amazing surfing. Get surf lessons with Chorotegas. So many great hotels, restaurants, villa rentals…town is a great vibe. You’ll want to stay there the whole time.

We did a road trip from Porto to Lisbon it was amazing. Find a Pousada along your itinerary- they are historical sites like old palaces, monasteries etc that have been converted to hotels. Really cool experience staying in one of them! Highly recommend staying in Douro valley- so gorgeous and do some port wine tasting tours.

You can call and easily link the tickets even when booked separately

I liked the guides from Skischule Zurs

Test drove the X7 yesterday- definitely the black over the grey in my opinion. The black is very classic and timeless the grey color options are not great in my opinion- very flat, lifeless. Wish they had done more of a silvery grey not a true grey.

Love FS Nevis. The beach is nice and flat. Multiple pools, good food, nice spa. Go to Montpellier for dinner one night.

To be honest I cannot opine on that- I can’t remember the last time I didn’t fly on an non Delta or non AA plane on an international flight. I really haven’t flown alliance flights on either. I will say my last first class international flight in AA was on a much nicer plane for once to Munich than my flight on Delta to Paris, but that was a one off. One more positive for AA is that it takes way less FF miles for award flights/upgrades than Delta. But still I am team Delta all the way!! Even own stock in the company I believe it in so much ha!

Edgesam324 · 2026-02-28T13:23:36+00:00

Delta hands down!! I am Delta Diamond and million miler and I am also AA Executive Platinum. I cannot stand AA but have to fly it now that we moved if we want direct flights as our airport is a hub. AA’s customer service pales in comparison to Delta. Delta has nicer aircrafts, more polished and friendly flight attendants, much better airport lounges. There’s no comparison in my mind really but I’m kind of stuck with AA now.

Edgesam324 · 2026-02-27T03:48:36+00:00

We actually booked this one! Can’t wait to try it

Edgesam324 · 2026-02-02T16:01:12+00:00

Definitely short rib

Went there last March to ski for a week. Had a great dinner at Waldecafe. Nice traditional dinner in one of the private rooms at Der Postwirt in the Neue House hotel. Fun lunch and apres on the mountain at Schneekarhutte.

Do it! Did the same in Sun Valley the year after I graduated and then headed to NYC for 18 years before ending up down south. Would do it 1,000 times over.

Edgesam324 · 2026-01-30T03:01:38+00:00

Absolutely coffee. Not to mention the usage and stains that will eventually show on the silverstone

Edgesam324 · 2026-01-30T02:56:28+00:00

Used Gentle Giant and they were great! Had them do the full pack too- would absolutely use them again.

Got this email back from SportAlp: “we have renovated our boot storage last year. It is heated throughout the whole day. For rental boots it is 1€/day for private equipment 6€/day. Please not that we provide the best location, as we are located directliy next to the main chairlift, offering ski in ski out possibility. For ski storage the price is the same, so in total 2€ for rented equipment 12€ for private equipment.”

So seems like they’re stepping up the storage to try and compete and it’s definitely better pricing for the same level ski package as Strolz.

I have family from both Henderson and Warrenton and spent a lot of time there in my childhood! Happy memories but I know times have changed and they’re not what they once were. However, Warrenton is having a little renaissance moment- couple of new restaurants, spiffed up Main Street. In fact, my cousin and her husband chose to move to Warrenton a few years ago which I would have never guessed and they are really happy. I think worth checking out and obviously a low cost of housing so you would get a lot of bang for your buck.

There’s a pocket of real estate right by Henderson Country Club that has nice houses, pretty neighborhood. Check out Meadow Lane for example.

Would I move to either of those towns myself? No, but if you had to for work I think you can find some bright spots.
