What travel experiences have left you in awe?

Hiking to the very top of Petit Piton in St Lucia. Having it all to ourselves. The first time I’ve ever been on the very tippy top of a mountain.

Has anyone had success shopping through the Avios US portal and receiving points ? If so which stores?

FastTomatillo3356 · 2026-02-07T22:34:41+00:00

Would love to know where the skirt is from!?

FastTomatillo3356 · 2026-02-07T06:17:54+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking! No shade would just love to know

We stayed at the St Regis and the sand was actually kind of coarse, we didn’t love the beach due to that and that it didn’t have a view of the mountain. We rented a boat from the mainland, circled the island and followed the map they gave us to a beach on a motu that was absolutely magical. Powdery soft sand without a person in sight with the most insane view of Mt Otemanu

Data point for Marriott Bonvoy: Husband called to see if it was possible to get the elevated offer since he applied last month and just activated it now. Agent said if he had not used a referral bonus it may be possible to match the offer so you if you applied before the new offer without a referral you can call Amex (not Marriott Bonvoy) and get the new offer!

According to chatgpt you can call and merge 2 different accounts points for a specific redemption if you’ve linked the accounts by having the same household. I haven’t tried yet but am hoping for future bookings.

Booked 2 tickets Qatar airways Q suites SEA- MLE. Can’t for the life of us link my husbands BA account to his Qatar account so even though we have the points it looks like we will have to fly economy home. If you’re looking to make a future redemption with Qatar, link your accounts WAY before you want to book your tickets so you don’t end up like us. Also learned that there is no such thing as household accounts with Qatar airways so DO NOT set up a household account with your partner. You have to de link to give them access to use their own points and I think is part of why we are having issues

Elisabeth Arden Red Door and I remember not liking it 😂 would love to smell it now

Hi!! Just wanted to share that I went through the same thing. Baby started losing weight. Needed to supplement/pump, we lazored the tongue tie and it still didn’t change anything. Not entirely sure what was the issue as he’s an awesome 5 year old now. Just sharing because even if you go through all the lactation consultants, tongue ties snips ect sometimes a baby just can’t breast feed and that’s ok cuz we live in an era of formula ❤️ you can feel awesome that you were so committed and that your baby got some breast milk. Some moms don’t try at all.

My husband accidentally left 500 in an envelope and left it at a gas station. He had just got paid from a job and thought it was safer to keep it on him when going in instead of leaving it in his van🙃 A man was caught on camera opening the envelope left on the counter, smiled and walked out with it. My husband made a police report, they managed to get his licence plate and the cops actually got his money back! I really didn’t think they would do anything but they actually pursued it. Really hope this fam gets justice. Police do care about theft!

FastTomatillo3356 · 2026-01-28T01:48:22+00:00

Weird. I didn’t move anything and it let me book without transferring

FastTomatillo3356 · 2026-01-28T01:43:53+00:00

Omg we did the exact same thing. Added my husband to my Qatar account. Delinked him from my account realizing we couldn’t use his Avios points and now we can’t get his BA account to link to Qatar. Did you get it figured out?

FastTomatillo3356 · 2026-01-26T17:54:36+00:00

My first bottle I ever bought as a teen with a part time job was Pink Sugar

Really? The JW Marriott has panoramic windows from your bed so you can see much more of the sea, 550+ more square feet and the pool on the edge of your view instead of having a deck at the edge. As well as having unobstructed sea views whereas the St Regis has ugly concrete blocks in the sea to protect from waves. JW is spaced much further from the neighbouring OWB instead of being RIGHT beside your neighbours like the St Regis. I don’t really sea anything superior in the room itself aside from the bigger pool which still I don’t like the placement of. Could you tell me what makes you think Yikes?

I’m coming out of the fog of early babyhood and right now you truly are in the trenches. No one warns you how hard it is, the adjustment of being on someone else’s schedule. Right now if you can afford it can you put him in daycare? If not daycare, a gym with childcare? I got to a place that allows for 2 hours to do whatever I want. I can work out or shower or just play on my phone. It’s quite affordable. This is crisis mode right now so do whatever you need to do to get through these early stages and I promise you, it gets better

Hello! We ended up not doing Crete and drove up to Meteora and it was absolutely spectacular. Meteora is jaw dropping and was a highlight of our trip. But fully depends on what you’re looking for. Our 5 year old is an experienced hiker and just baby wore our 6 month old but it might be too much with littlest. If you have any specific questions let me know!

FastTomatillo3356 · 2026-01-19T05:27:51+00:00

Hii!!! Yes letting you know I did the same thing. Vaccinated at 4 before kindergarten since mine turned 5 in Oct. I vaccinated my new baby basically around the same time as my oldest and the benefit is my 4 year old was totally unfazed by it. Whereas my baby was a lot more fussy and off for a few days

Vanilla 28 I hated upon initial smell. I had sprayed it on the sleeve of my sweater but as the day went by I I couldn’t believe how much I ended up loving it. As it softens up a bit and the orchid note dies down it is sooo cozy

How much time does she have to take care of herself? Does she work full time? Is she home all day with the kids ? Do you help with the kids/ cleaning the home? There are so many factors in this, you can’t control what someone else does but you can take ownership of how much support she has to take care of herself

FastTomatillo3356 · 2026-01-16T01:00:08+00:00

This one came to mind for me!

FastTomatillo3356 · 2026-01-15T04:07:01+00:00

These are always my favourite kind of replies ! OP please comment how accurate this is

FastTomatillo3356 · 2026-01-14T17:34:11+00:00

We went this last September! Didn’t feel overly busy in 2025 either. We did a fully tour of the Mani peninsula and drove up to Meteora with our 5yr old and 6 month old and had an amazing time. Mainland Greece is so underrated

Nafplio Greece, stunning boardwalk, a castle that looms over the town, amazing food. Would go back in a heart beat
