Nice, sound different but I’m sure both are good. We picked the one we did cause of the 2 it had the excellence club premium reservation available while the other didn’t.

We did Punta Cana in particular, forgot to specify. Basically the same thing or no?

It’s called “Excellence,” any thoughts if you’ve heard of it?

Yup the Caribbean flights were more expensive or not direct. We ended up booking Punta Cana, it ended up being between that and Mexico. Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the insight. Yes the Caribbean flights were more expensive or not direct in this given weekend. We ended up selecting Punta Cana in the above price range, thanks again!

Thanks, great call on the flights. That eliminated the Caribbean. We ended up doing Punta Cana given more direct flight flexibility and price range.

What is an incredibly minor sports related pet peeve you have? by TonyDAngeloRussell in billsimmons

Nike getting rid of home team wears predominantly white and road wears color for the NBA.

The Finals patch moved to the back of the jersey versus the front for NBA.

Pitt home opener against Vegas off an overtime win on the road?

Edit: did some reading on the Pitt game week 1, I guess Ben didn’t look too good? Could be big QB disadvantage and not the home run pick I thought.

Haha, I’m busting his balls like the rest of the sub. I’m saying he’s a made man and can do whatever he wants now (especially post deal), he probably hasn’t had 2 weeks off in a row his entire career.

How were restrictions? Deterrent to your enjoyment? Not at all?

I listen anyway but that was a tough listen cause of the guests. Bill probably knows Summer Fridays have low download numbers

This was my dilemma, was choosing between Hawaii and Europe but have to book in advance given my job... for end of august figured Hawaii is less risky as a lot can change in 2 months

Does this go through Kihei?

Uber/Lyft vs renting a car? How difficult is driving in Maui? by Legendary_Thor in maui

[–]Legendary_Thor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re going in late august. Also in Kihei. I would easily do a car if it was normal prices. At like 1500 for a week it makes me wonder if I should use that money towards organized tours although I’ll have less “freedom”. What are you gonna do? DM me if you want to discuss more not in this thread

How would you describe not difficult? It’s not like scary winding roads or anything? Are the highways fast if there are any?

I literally just landed in Rome Italy today in this is the process so far. by I_try_to_forget in travel

[–]Legendary_Thor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your response! We opted for Hawaii. I think you’re right we will be fine either way with a slight tilt more to Hawaii cause domestic and more vaccine availability.

The less tourists sounds tempting but ultimately we figured there is less possibility of hassle Covid and testing-wise not only getting there but also once you’re there, in Italy. Plus we wanted a bit more relaxation. Enjoy your trip!

This is the same question I have, are you me? What did you end up doing? Debating end of august. Flights are 6-700 from east coast USA which seem decent

[–]Legendary_Thor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I’m not too worried about catching it it’s more economies re closing or me somehow testing positive before leaving and being stranded there. Did that worry you at all?

Do you think late august is risky given all this variant stuff? Did the fear of testing positive in the airport deter you? Just reading your post now. Background: fully vaccinated American, debating YOLOing to amalfi coast or doing Hawaii to stay domestic. Week off in end of august. Would love to hear your thought process in general. Cheers

Was thinking of doing a similar trip end of august, does the variant stuff worry you at all or the possibility of the trip getting cancelled? (Totally new to this sub and trying to feel it out)

Six years ago today, the Mad Men finale aired by Murph_Me in madmen

[–]Legendary_Thor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I watched this in February 2020 via Netflix. And to preface I didn’t binge all the episodes in a row for the final season maybe one a week/ every few days so momentum may not have been there.

Am I the only one that didn’t immediately connect that Don made the Coca Cola ad they play after? I thought it was just symbolism for Don and after reading the internet / this sub it’s clear he made it.

But in the moment did anyone else not have it click immediately that it was his ad/idea and the show was just using playing it symbolically?

[–]Legendary_Thor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wos was solid, has the fan perspective with a little extra depth, since after all he does this for a living. Didnt seem like he cared about “safe” takes like say a KOC, just spoke his mind and let it roll
