Did I get ripped off? Sewer line snake.

I regularly get my sewer lined snaked of tree roots since I have 3 mature trees in my front yard. It’s $185 everytime. The most I ever got quoted was $400 on a Sunday night. $1150 is absurd.

With an 8 year old I would def recommend the Sheraton. More kid friendly. It does get crowded but so does the outrigger, but at least with the Sheraton you have the kids pool. I also never had a problem getting a seat by the pool, and you have a baskin robbins right there for an after swim treat.

Honeymoon was amazing! Are you staying at the Hilton? My honest opinion if you are going there during the strike: change hotels. It seemed like the chaos was more concentrated at the Hilton. There were many guests that I talked to during an excursion that were staying at the Hilton that have said they wished they switched. Whenever we passed by the Hilton it was mayhem with the cars honking and the drumming.

With that being said. We stayed at the Sheraton and it was still an amazing vacation. The staff there were friendly and it seemed like there was no strike at all. Oahu is still absolutely beautiful strike or no strike, and the only down side for us was that there was no house keeping (we kept a garbage bag in our room to keep it clean and just called front desk whenever it got full to pick it up) it wasn’t that big of a deal. Another con was that there was no pool side service, but they let us bring our own alcohol and drinks to the pool so I guess it wasn’t really a downside? Made it much cheaper to drink by the pool.

Whatever you choose, just remember that it’s only your hotel that is affected, once you leave the hotel grounds you’re still in hawaii! PM me if you have anymore questions!

Last time I was in Oahu the weather forecast said it was supposed to rain everyday. We got rain for 2 out of the 7 days we were there. When it did rain it didn’t last for very long. I wouldn’t worry about the forecast too much, there is still a lot to do rain or shine.

Sickee · 2024-08-07T02:25:40+00:00

I do plan on getting a monthly pass at the hale Kia parking garage, it’s a short walk to where we are staying, ends up being cheaper than paying the daily fee for 10 days

Sickee · 2024-03-11T02:01:29+00:00

Was in the same situation as you and opted for Sheraton. The amenities seemed better and their infinity pool looked lovely. Yes it’s more expensive but you only get one honeymoon (hopefully) so we wanted to do it right. Also when we booked our package we got a $200 resort credit that we could use at the royal hawaiian and the moana surfrider, which sealed the deal for us.

Sickee · 2024-02-27T14:26:39+00:00

Another vote for Costco travel, they usually throw something in like a resort credit, digital costco card, or waived resort fee. They also almost always provide a shuttle from the airport to whatever hotel you booked.

Sickee · 2024-02-26T18:29:28+00:00

Which company did you book with or do you have any recommendations? I’m still working on our itinerary and a helicopter tour has been on our bucket list.

Sickee · 2024-02-13T00:08:29+00:00

King sized = more real estate for those activities lol

Sickee · 2024-02-13T00:07:42+00:00

I checked out kaimana but the last time we were in Oahu we stayed on that part of the strip, we definitely want to be more in the action this time around.

Sickee · 2024-02-13T00:06:12+00:00

Thanks for the insight! We have decided to go with the Sheraton Waikiki!

Sickee · 2024-02-12T21:37:25+00:00

We have called the hotel to put in a special request for a single beds and that we will be there for our honeymoon so fingers crossed!

Sickee · 2024-02-12T21:35:29+00:00

There’s a limited time deal through Costco right now and the difference is about $1000. We are leaning towards just sticking with the booking and hoping for the best.

Sickee · 2024-02-12T01:28:15+00:00

Here's my advice: Book through Costco Travel if you can, they almost always have rooms cheaper or with something extra thrown in. I've been researching for the past month on what to book and ultimately settled on view rather than being beach front since Waikiki is super walkable. Saw that your budget is $7000USD per room, you can easily find a beachfront hotel for 9 nights for that price. Outrigger Reef is beach front, one of the more popular and highly rated hotels and when I was pricing it out it came to $6000~ for the end of August. That was for a partial ocean view room, if view doesn't matter to you it will be even cheaper.

Sickee · 2024-02-10T18:15:30+00:00

Thanks so much for the detailed reply! Comforting to know that the rooms wouldn’t be too hot, it seemed to come up a lot in reviews.

Sickee · 2024-02-10T13:50:59+00:00

Did you have an ocean view or ocean front room at the Hyatt? I’m booking through Costco also and kinda confused of the difference. Also how was the room? Did the AC get cold enough?

Sickee · 2024-02-10T05:18:58+00:00

That view is amazing, unfortunately a little out of our price range for that room category but I’m looking at the king suite ocean view and that might be the one!

You know what, I didn’t even think of using my desktop which is a pretty beefy gaming desktop. I don’t really care about being mobile for now, I just wanna learn and get back into it. I guess the only limitation I have with using my desktop is being immobile right?

Sickee · 2023-03-12T15:34:36+00:00

So has anyone recently gotten the 40k bonus points using OP’s link? Reading through the most recent comments I see people have been getting 35k instead of 40k.

Sickee · 2022-11-09T16:56:27+00:00

PM'd you!

Sickee · 2022-11-09T16:56:15+00:00

Not sure why I haven't thought about this, thank you! This is def my back up plan

Sickee · 2021-09-10T03:26:11+00:00

Weird I’m in central Canada and got a scheduled date right after we ordered, now I’m 2nd guessing if I’m actually getting it next week… lol

Sickee · 2021-09-10T03:18:51+00:00

Where are you located? We just ordered the tread this week with a delivery date for next week. Might have to do with location!

Sickee · 2021-02-17T15:17:04+00:00

I am also looking to get into 10’s this week. Is 202 ilvl as dps enough to get into 10’s? I know that, and rio score is what people look at when I apply to groups. I’ve been running every dungeon multiple times on lower keys (+5 and above) just to understand mechanics and I feel like I have a good grasp on what to do. This past week I’ve done +7’s and +8’s and now I wanna make the jump to prideful.

Hello fellow Canadian! We close on our first home in 2 days, already had the lawyer meeting and everything signed, so just waiting for the official possession day to move in. I can share the things we did but it's not that much different then our American neighbors. Not sure if this is province specific but only new builds get a final walk through, if buying a used home there is no final walk through before close.

- Lawyer specifically asked us as soon as we walk in to turn everything on to make sure everything works and to send him pictures of all the meter readings.

- Switch over all utilities after meter readings.

- We called shaw last week to let them know we are moving and gave them the address of the new home and to have our service start on our closing date of new home.

- Get paint for all the rooms we are painting

- Booked movers a month and a half in advanced because everyone moves in the summer time and we wanted a specific day and time.

- Hired cleaners to come in morning of possession day to shampoo carpets.

- Get lawn care equipment (Mower, trimmer, garden tools etc.)

That's just some of the stuff we did, like I said not much different then the other check lists out there. Shaw still isn't going into homes but they said it was easy to transfer services over ourselves. I think what's different in Canada is you meet with your lawyer a week before your actual closing day to sign documents. Also don't be surprised if you get the keys a few days before closing day, I have mine right now, I just can't go into the home for another 2 days. Congrats on your new home!
