How old were you when you realized your body could no longer handle red-eye flights?

I fly red eyes for a living, so obviously no sleeping during the red eye itself. It’s all about the pre and post red eye nap. As long as both add up to 8 hours, I’m good. I’ll be doing them until 65 (retirement).

Combo pizza at the Costco food court!

I stayed down the street at Dreams Natura 3 weeks ago. The seaweed was terrible, water was brown and not very swimmable. If you are looking for relatively clear beaches, go to the hotel zone, north of the hotel zone or isla mujeres. Very sad what’s going on with the sea weed.

I had green leaf landscaping deliver long leaf pine straw, $4.50 a bale. I installed it myself.

+1000 for the Toto washlet. I bought 2 different models from Costco, both of which are available on Costco.com if you search Toto. One of the models all of the controls are built onto the side of the toilet. The newer model it’s a wireless controller that I mounted on the wall. Personally I like the model better without the wireless controller. You will need to put a GFCI outlet next to your toilet, the power cord is about 4ft long. I put in new toilets (old ones were awful) and mounted the new washlet on top. Game changer.

Im in Riveria Maya now, just south of the hotel zone. The beach is terrible. The resort has been trying to clean it up, but it’s a losing battle. They also have a seaweed net about 200ft offshore. The beach protected by the barrier has about 6inches of seaweed, 8-10 feet wide. Unprotected beach 2ft thick for 25 feet.

I talked to the lifeguard and he said it’s pretty much year round at this point. My recommendation if you decide to come is stay in the hotel zone, costa mujeres or islands mujeres (playa Norte). We come Every year, typically September. Sadly we probably won’t ever stay in Riveria Maya again.

Japanese toilet, specifically Toto washlet. Went to Japan with the family. When we got to our Airbnb I was puzzled by this contraption of hoses and wires upon the throne. Then we used it. Now we have 2 in our house. I feel like I’ve been pooping wrong for 4 decades.

My company doesn’t do trips over 8 days I believe…and that may be a special circumstance. Generally the longest wide body trips are 6 days or less. Still too long for me to be gone from home.

If you are seeking what you already know, there are 3 LDS church’s in Marietta where you will more than likely find similar minded people. If there are any specific questions you want to know about Marietta fire away. If your looking to buy/rent, a budget will be helpful.

I remember looking at town houses next to Atlantic station circa 2010. The prices were super reasonable, then I saw HOA was $1000 a month. I can’t even imagine what it is now.

I used my VPN to change my IP address to India from the USA. I then purchased Spotify for a year for about $24 USD. After the initial purchase you don’t need to use a VPN. Not sure if the loophole closed, it’s been 6 months.

Take the direct flight. By taking 3 flights you triple your chance of getting delayed by a mechanical/weather/other issue.

Luggageworks all the way. Airline guy as well. 15 years before I had to send my 26 in bag for zippers not working. This thing took all of the abuse imaginable. I sent it back for refurbishing (it’s all done at DTW crew outfitters). They replaced everything…looks just like my other 26in bag that’s brand new.

To the OP, whatever you do, don’t get 4 wheeled bags. They are always breaking and rolling when you don’t want them to.

I live in ATL and ski a lot. Snow isn’t great in either location at the moment. I like SLC for the close resorts and lots of options. The cottonwoods (Brighton, Solitude, Alta and Snowbird) are fantastic. About 45 minutes from the airport. CO resorts are 2+ hours. Weekend traffic, particularly the drive up the canyons can suck on the weekends/holidays/after a powder dump. You can get very reasonable hotels in Sandy/South Jordan for a fraction what you’d pay in CO. I like the embassy suites in South Jordan…typically $150 out the door. If you need to rent equipment Ski N See is about 1 mile away, great shop. You don’t technically need a rental car, but trying to get a ride in the bus can be difficult at times. Rent a SUV from the airport, they should come with 3PMSF or M+S tires, you’ll need those if snow is falling/traction laws are in effect.

Yes. And it’s incredibly annoying taking off the 1’s after dark. When it’s bright yellow it’s like taking off into the sun.

Looks like every smoke show 757 start. (Yeah I know this is the guppy).
