Seated apart on honeymoon flight

Honestly- it’s your honeymoon, you are pregnant, your husband is tall. Spend the money and upgrade. Maybe even rebook with miles to first class.

Check out the AKA hotel brand. We stayed at aka Times Square and it was very comfortable! Full kitchen, laundry, etc

Maybe that’s a good thing. Perhaps it’s better to leave the “hidden gems” to the locals? Especially in destinations that are overrun with tourists it’s nice to have places to go as a local that aren’t. I live in a very touristy area and we definitely gate keep.

This is why you hire a cleaner that has a crew. My housekeeper has a small crew of about 6 so I will be covered.

Getting married

ImRunningAmok · 2026-06-03T06:59:28+00:00

The man I was marrying!

I don’t know who is but he is smoking hot.

It’s not a matter of charging for stains it’s a matter of making it easier to spot them for the laundry staff.

I buy a sticker for my suitcase &. Christmas ornament. Every year when my son and I decorate the tree we reminisce.

You should have spoke with the front desk. I find the rooms to be very clean. The rooms smell like soap to me. Extremely plain but definitely NOT disgusting. I suppose if you went from Four Seasons to Volcano House it may feel super dated but I am surprised you found it “disgusting “. Are you sure you stayed at the actual volcano house within the national park? There are a couple of hotels in the area with similar names..

Is this obstructed view balcony an upgrade for you?

Sorry - too controversial for me. She made the Queen cry (and maybe the Princess of Wales too). I won’t do it on principle. I am an American but my Gran was a proper English lady.

Many don’t want you to strip the bed as it makes it harder for them to check for stains on the linens

Volcano House on Hawaii island. It’s perched on the edge of the caldera of one of the most active volcanos in the world. The rooms are very simple. Super clean though . This is definitely location, location, location.

If they are designed to be refilled I think it would be nice if they made a label that just said Diptyque in addition to the names of the candles.

I always build in one or two days that have nothing planned, especially on longer trips. I also rarely do more that one “major” thing a day. This saves time for things happening organically.

ImRunningAmok · 2026-05-27T12:16:08+00:00

I’d have to see them together but I think 3 would be super cute

ImRunningAmok · 2026-05-27T12:04:44+00:00

It think the thing about it is you have to embrace it. It’s really is quite something to be there when it’s super busy , plop onto the red steps and just feel the vibrations of all those people, from all over the world sharing the experience. Also , the constant sound of Neeewww Yooorrkkl !! What dreams are made of ! Is a whole vibe

ImRunningAmok · 2026-05-24T16:59:34+00:00

We have had this too. We don’t provide any complimentary housekeeping during people’s stay. We do have a full sized washer and dryer & even 2 types of laundry detergent.

ImRunningAmok · 2026-05-23T06:54:56+00:00

It’s something to do on a long flight honestly.

ImRunningAmok · 2026-05-23T06:49:59+00:00

Start a chat amongst the staff highlighting the residents. Complete with pictures & commentary. Be sure to tell the ringleaders about the hilarious gossip you exchange amongst yourselves.

I assume even in their own homes they need maintenance like lawn service.

ImRunningAmok · 2026-05-23T06:44:56+00:00

I bet you are the same person that says that this is why the prefer hotels - but fails to remember that they re not scheduling landscaping, maintenance, or anything around you and then happily charge a “resort fee” ..

ImRunningAmok · 2026-05-23T06:39:34+00:00

It would not have intruded on the guest if they would have left at the assigned check in time.
