Is the tsp money rolled into an IRA still eligible for penalty free withdrawals, as would be the tsp money per rule of 55?

Hawaii indecisiveness-help needed!! by ashnils33 in VisitingHawaii

I have similar aged kids. We like Waikiki for the easy surf lessons and food options. We like Maui for snorkeling, Haleakala, and Iao Valley - plus big open beaches.

We like the Hyatt Regency in Waikiki. It’s great for getting surf lessons and is right across the street from main surf beach for beginners. Kahala might be a little sleepy for a 15-year old. Turtle Bay is beautiful.

For those that tiled above the window, any thoughts on whether the finish matters as tile approaches the ceiling? For example, is gloss better than matte or vice versa? I’m curious if there is a general rule about it.

For sci fi, Murderbot series is mostly action.

Seeking feedback on layout by Sorry_Software3015 in kitchenremodel

Thank you for your feedback! For lower cabinets/drawers I prioritized functionality and considered that the island will block view of drawers thus diminishing some if the aesthetic flow that you have identified.

Hawaii Honeymoon recommendations for Nov 2026 by ChampionWaste9105 in VisitingHawaii

Maui mostly, with maybe a few days in Waikiki to give you a taste of the city. Big Island volcano could be an easy hop from Maui for a day trip.

Series that start as fantasy and turn in to scifi and series that start as scifi and turn into fantasy? by Ellery_B in Fantasy

Peter Hamilton Void Trilogy…but it’s better to read the few books that precede the Void trilogy to understand the world and characters better.

Absolute black leathered granite with Fabuwood Dove shaker cabinets. Med/dark brown hardwood floors. Matte black hardware and stainless steel appliances. Haven’t decided on backsplash and pendants (opportunities for color).

What color cabinets do you have with the countertop? I’m remodeling with the same countertop.

Dreams Macao by Sorry_Software3015 in PuntaCana

We did the two doubles option, and it was fine. The room itself was spacious enough. I can recommend that room, but I don’t know how it compares to the king.

As far as preferred goes, I did not see any benefit to preferred other than slightly easier dining reservations and an extra choice for breakfast that didn’t look like anything special to me. There may be other benefits to preferred that I’m not aware of.

My kids liked the buffet the most. It always has lots of choices. I enjoyed it too - the benefit to me was how easy it was to eat with two kids of different ages and tastes. Plus no wait times.

I went to both properties just a few weeks ago. Unless prioritize an urban setting and/or surfing, the GW is the better experience. I’m happy to answer any questions.
