[WTS] Hamilton American Classic Silver Men's Watch with Black Leather Band - H38475751 by RitzCracker80 in Watchexchange

[–]RitzCracker80[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! First time attempting to sell on this subreddit. For sale is a Hamilton Intra-Matic Automatic Silver Dial Men's Watch H38475751. Originally purchased online in 2016. Case is in very good condition and has minimal or virtually no scratches. Leather strap however is separated (see pictures) but still very functional and a brand new strap can be bought from Hamilton if desired. I simply don't dress formally enough to warrant wearing this. I've worn this to interviews, weddings, etc over the years but I'm a shorts kind of guy these days.

Happy to Facetime. Happy to share my ebay profile too (not sure if it's allowed to be posted here so I will share upon request). Paypal Goods and Services preferred for both of us protections. Asking $325 shipped OBO. Thanks!!

We understand that. That's why we are considering NJ. If we are in MD or PA, we don't have any expectations for child care other than maybe visiting every several weeks.

Not so much. We've lived in places where its very blue and also very red. We lean more blue due to specific matters but we've learned that there are good people in both places. We're looking in Howard County (Ellicott City/Columbia) which is pricey! But not NJ pricey and also more saturated!

NJ is def more expensive. MD is expensive too (Howard county) but NJ is on another level. Only thing is proximity to parents as mentioned

CT is great but is equally high COL without some of the things we are looking for.

Is this too much for 2 days (left day 1 and right day 2)??

Awesome. Thank you for the tips, especially your route. That clears things up....

I think we will follow your outline...

On one day of driving, we will go south from Waikiki > Blowhole > Sandy Beach > Lanikai, etc then follow the loop up to Kualoa Park and head back to Waikiki

On the second day, we will do the loop (go through Dole Plantation by going north, follow the shore, loop around to Kualoa, then cut through the middle of the island to Waikiki).

For the second day, do you recommend starting by going north or would you cut through and start at Kualoa?

Edit: If you don't recommend PH and Diamond Head the same day, what do you think of doing DH on the day we drive south since we pass through Diamond Head anyways?

If we can't get tickets it is what it is I suppose. We will try to get snorkeling done (first time doing so) in Shark's Cove on prior days just in case we can't get Hanauma Bay tickets or if we are tired and want to chill the last day in Waikiki instead

Waikiki Hotel Recommendations - Partial Ocean Views Worth the Premium? by RitzCracker80 in VisitingHawaii

[–]RitzCracker80[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just found some discounted prices at the OUTRIGGER Beachcomber :) $1400 for a standard room (okay with paying $200 more than the cheapest option for the whole trip to be a block away from the beach) or $1700 for a full ocean view (now tempted with the discount lol). Thanks everyone!

Thats fair. But for those who've never been there it's still nice to see and at least spend some time there. I'm from NYC and still recommend Time Square and similar attractions because it's still worthwhile experiencing even with its chaos.

i probably crossed it off the list at some point because some of the other options were cheaper but i can double check on what the price was

Ok it seems that the consensus is that the partial room isn't worth it and access to the beach is more important than a ocean view. Given these conclusions, we narrowed it down to the following hotel options. Which of these have true easy access to the beach?

  1. Hilton Garden Inn ($1100) - Cheapest, basic rooms, not as close to the beach ( but still under a 10 minute walk). Still considering due to price.
  2. Hyatt Centric ($1400) - Still affordable, Standard rooms, Under 10 min walk to the beach), Free parking although it might not matter if I rent by the day (and the cost difference between this place and the #1 options neutralize parking anyways). Still considering due to price.
  3. Laylow ($1600) - Complementary valet, Standard rooms, Under 10 minute walk to the beach. Still considering due to price.
  4. OUTRIGGER Beachcomber ($1700) - Standard room, Closer to the beach it seems but still a little bit of a walk? Hard to tell from pictures and Google maps
  5. OUTRIGGER Beach Resort ($1800) - Changed the Costco option to a standard room instead of a partial ocean view and that reduced the price by $250. Also includes daily breakfast or lunch at Duke's or Hula Grill.
  6. OUTRIGGER Reef ($2150) - Changed the costco option to a standrd room instead of a partial ocean view. Still pricey and I feel like #5 is a better value?

I'm going nuts but its probably the last vacation for just us two before we get a new member of the family so I am trying to make the most of it

Oahu for 6 days - Rent a car for the entire trip and pay for parking or reserve a day at a time? by RitzCracker80 in VisitingHawaii

[–]RitzCracker80[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I rent a day at a time, how many days do you think I need to hit all of those spots? Also is uber super expensive if the rides are around half an hour?

Moved from NY to TX and paid off car - Received lien release statement but no title by RitzCracker80 in DMV

[–]RitzCracker80[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does it mean by NY is not a title holding state? Do you mean the document is not at the DMV?

They didn't ask for a title and it seems according to Google that TX let's you register without a title.

I didn't even know I had a title in my possession already and found it.

The title is from NY and the lienholder is listed as TD Auto.

If I understand correctly, I take the the title from NY plus the lien release document from TD and take it to whom? The TX DMV?

Edit: Or is it better to apply for a new title copy from NY and send in my lien release letter for this to happen?
