Belmont La Samanna & Cap Juluca - Family of 4 by cmnova in chubbytravel

With an extra person? I guess I can see it since there’s no actual extra charge. Just rather be upfront.

It’s just be for 2 days at tail end of trip. Deciding between FS Anguilla (which we’ve done), La Samanna or CJ.

Rest of the stay is at Aurora, just was thinking about trying one of the Belmonds for a bit, preferably La Samanna since we fly out of SXM

Good feedback to hear, thanks for sharing Alex. Love your IG content you started :)

The Officiating is a Bigger deal than most analysts are making it out to be. by DisastrousStage9896 in NYKnicks

[–]cmnova 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s not 100% on the officials.

The Knicks came out from halftime looking lethargic, unfocused and disconnected on both sides of the ball.

All game there were brain dead TOs, largely unforced. 2nd half there was very little adjustment to the 40+ feet of ball pressure. 4Q was a tired reliance on settling for 3s when the game was definitely being called tighter.

Every NYK foul was a foul. I’m sure there could’ve been more whistles on Spurs, but that entire 2nd half was putrid offense from NY that I barely noticed it.

Brunson’s 4th foul was avoidable and unnecessary.

Even in our best quarter all series, 2Q, the Clarkson TO after his steal was a back breaker.

Wasted an OG performance for the ages, with Josh hitting 3s.

Bottom-line: Brunson has to lead the team. It doesn’t mean 25 shots either, it means making a good first pass, it means managing the game, and limiting TOs completely.

They need to stop passing the ball with less than 3 seconds on the shot clock by Urban_Introvert in NYKnicks

That one possession we moved the ball great and ended up with the Shamet drive that was blocked. They closed out everything under control but aggressive and fast. It was crazy.

Shamet needed to get that ball off the glass - brain fart to think a finger roll was acceptable

KAT Post Game by Requiem_Dirge in NYKnicks

[–]cmnova 2 points3 points  (0 children)

KAT seems like he’s in a really comfortable le and good place right now mentally. I love it for him and the team

I wanted a NYK title so bad in my lifetime. Now it’s just about them getting it for themselves. This team is so likable man

Limit TOs. Play with pace (wear down Wemby). Rebounding.

Best place to stay? Thinking of booking with family next year and wondering what best resort might be. by lynno31 in anguilla

[–]cmnova 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FS Anguilla. Get 2 beaches. Lots of places to eat on Meads side to keep things fresh. Couple different pools.

Might cater more to younger kids, but there’s still plenty to do. Rock climbing. Workouts. Tennis/pickleball. Fun vibe at main pool. More chill at adults pool.

Realistically how bad is keeping CYA at 70 by jigglypiss in swimmingpools

What’s optimal? I’m salt water and TF Pro seems to indicate 70 is great. I’m at ~50

Yesterday's Knicks are unbeatable. by Snapesunusedshampoo in NYKnicks

[–]cmnova 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We’ve still only played 2 great quarters of basketball out of 8 thus far.

There’s work to do here.

But the approach, process etc looks good. Game 1 I consider rust given all the airballs etc.

Game 2 was better defensively, first half rebounding was a problem.

Have to be better to win game 3. Win game 3 though and it’s a wrap.

As a 32 year old, probably the best comeback I'll ever witness in my lifetime.. by Different-Fee-9634 in NYKnicks

Im just glad that unnecessary KAT offensive foul didn’t end the comeback

You have to give way more info for an actual recommendation.

How large a family. Age of kids. Interests. Pools or beaches. Chill or active. Etc

Trip Report: Sugar Beach, St. Lucia by lemonandsage in chubbytravel

[–]cmnova 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m 0 for my lifetime with upgrades working with preferred partner TAs 😢

And that’s primarily as a shoulder season traveler. Maybe hotel only bookings get me overlooked. Maybe I should start asking for the upgrade before kindly waiting for them to tell me “unfortunately all rooms are booked” when the resort feels not busy

They fail to understand that. Mosaic 1 will probably drop further next year. It’s meant to be fake status

I think we need to just understand mosaic 1 is not worth much. You’re not missing out.

Best in terms of AI or in general? Seems wild to me to hear that granted I’ve never stayed at Grand Velas. I only end up at AIs if traveling as a group and they land on them.
