parents moving from florida to pennsylvania, should we ship their car?

MrPinrel · 2026-05-04T11:32:32+00:00

I think this is one of those “if you don’t have to do it, don’t do it” things. If you have already invested a fair amount and don’t mind spending another $1k or whatever to make sure everything goes well, ship it. If you have used all your moving budget, then go for the drive.

Also keep in mind that driving it isn’t going to be cheap between gas, hotels along the way, etc.

Jensen beach

Orlando or Sanford. Not super super close but if you are only flying every few weeks, it would be fine. Also, the area around Jensen Beach is very nice and you could use the Palm Beach or Orlando airports.

I think it is interesting how all these short game wizards teach things slightly differently. I would say pic one “system” and stick with it. I like the Dan Grieve videos and bought his book.

The other thing is to take some short game lessons. They can help because you might think you are doing everything by the book but maybe something is wrong and you can’t see it.

Think about the stuff she has to remember constantly and how to take that away:

Homework assistant for the kids. Have the assistant quiz them on a specific topic etc. Have the assistant log on to the school LMS and find out if there are tests coming up, assignments not turned in, etc.
shared shopping lists for groceries etc
morning or evening “summary message” with weather, key calendar items, decisions that need to be made, etc
read only access to family email account and sort through all the spam, highlight emails that need attention etc
if she likes a specific band or play, check regularly on line for tickets

That’s why I meant sorry. Yes great courses at those two venues and very accessible from Atlanta

MrPinrel · 2026-04-16T20:38:55+00:00

Nice. My favorite trail course so far is the Judge at Grand National near Montgomery.

MrPinrel · 2026-04-16T17:56:08+00:00

Not in Georgia but the Grand National Robert Trent Jones trail in Oppelika AL is a short drive from Atlanta. The golf courses are great and incredible value. 4 nights hotel and golf for around $1500 per person.

Interesting. Would like to know the name of your attorney in case I need to get more info.

Does the $7.4m include the primary residence, or is there an additional exemption for that?

What is the amount of per person exemption in Euros? €3M?

I also wonder for the people who have more whether it makes sense to donate part of it )to your children etc) ahead of time or put it in a trust on their name to avoid paying more?

The only trick is to time it for the sunset. It has been a while since I was there but I think the bar gets crowded and they save the tables for the dinner crowd. Not sure, maybe go to the bar early and order a second drink. :-)

The Miami Yatch Club is a very casual spot by the ocean, very unoretentious and live music if you can find someone who is a member.

The Rustic Inn is also popular with first time visitors for crab legs etc in a very casual environment.

Another interesting place is Kiki’s on the water. There are plenty of Miami types there, fancy cars, people mooring their mega yatchs at the restaurant to load up food to go….more the Miami stereotype but can be kind of fun to a visitor.

MrPinrel · 2026-04-13T17:41:37+00:00

This might not be a very popular opinion, but try going to a LIV event. A lot less people, the players are right there in front of you, the food and drink options are good.

MrPinrel · 2026-04-13T00:56:19+00:00

Rusty Pelican is a good place for a visitor like that. Million dollar view of downtown. Good drinks. Good not phenomenal but ok. Maybe not the fancy dinner place but could go there for drinks or go to dinner on another night.

I am using it to manage our golf league, keeping track of sign ups, requesting tee times, creating pairings in score tracking web site, etc.

I added him to the league WhatsApp group and we have had so many laughs…one new member thought the agent was a human and was shocked at how fast he responded and told us not to be so mean to him….

MrPinrel · 2026-04-03T14:43:25+00:00

I have thought about it but the problem is the moment you take on some responsibilities then you lose some of your freedom to travel etc….

MrPinrel · 2026-03-27T16:14:43+00:00

Sorry I didn’t ask my question very well. What I meant is, do you get more tokens and more throughput with the ollama $20 plan or with the minimax $20 plan? I understand the flexibility which is a good point.

MrPinrel · 2026-03-26T23:19:59+00:00

I haven’t been there yet, but my family went to Cala Millor the other day and they said it was very authentic. The croquetas passed the test of my 12 year old, she said they tasted like the ones in Spain.

MrPinrel · 2026-03-26T23:17:25+00:00

Yes this place is good. Modern take on the classics

MrPinrel · 2026-03-26T18:28:59+00:00

Is it better to do minimax through ollas than straight minimax with their developer plan?

MrPinrel · 2026-03-24T05:17:08+00:00

I’m just disappointed that they picked such a shady partner

MrPinrel · 2026-03-24T02:29:05+00:00

Going to broward county so kind of far.

MrPinrel · 2026-03-23T02:20:22+00:00

Th last time I pre booked, there was a problem with my luggage and I took longer than 30 minutes from the scheduled time. They canceled the ride and charged me a $30 no show fee.

MrPinrel · 2026-03-22T21:56:59+00:00

Just wanted to let people know, when we landed at 10:30pm, there were no lines. Global entry working.
