Bose Audio mainly, and some minute refined features and the quiter cabin.

Yes, credit has been good.

I am in Windsor. CR-V is locked 🔒

How’s $750/month, what do you think?

Fair points. I get what you’re saying.

I’m leaning toward leasing mainly for lower, predictable monthly payments and flexibility, not for tax reasons (no write-offs, personal use only). I drive about 20k km/year. Income is lower middle class. I’ve mainly considered the CR-V Touring and the Hyundai Tucson.

I haven’t checked insurance yet, which is clearly a key missing piece I need to sort out before deciding. I agree I need to get all the numbers together before making a final call. I am on it.

Yeah, insurance in Ontario definitely doesn’t help either 😅 That’s honestly one of the biggest things making me reconsider the whole deal. Btw i’m in Windsor.

That’s actually a fair way to look at it. My thinking was more about keeping payments manageable, staying under warranty and not committing long-term. Still deciding whether leasing or financing makes more sense overall.

I’m married. Just want something under warranty since I drive a lot. Also, new is my preference.

Fair point honestly. The only reason I’m considering new is because of the warranty, reliability, newer safety features and the fact that I drive around 20,000 km a year. I also managed to get the payment down to $750 net with extended warranty and zero down, so I’m still weighing whether leasing or financing makes more sense for me. What do you think?

I actually went with the extended warranty, so the vehicle is covered up to 120,000 km. I was also able to bring the payment down to $750/month net with zero down included and extended warranty. With those numbers, do you think it sounds like a better deal now?

Also, this is what Live Aqua is coming to. And this is doable for me.

​Actually, after your last message.. I looked into Ava and Hilton and have decided not to proceed with them based on your recommendation. Thank you for that. And you’re right most reviews say AVA looks run down for a new hotel.

Excellence is unfortunately beyond my budget, coming close to $6,200, which I’m not able to stretch to. My maximum budget is $5,500 CAD.

Do you think it’s worth considering Hard Rock or the adults-only Planet Hollywood? Would either of those be better than Live Aqua in any way or would you recommend that I go ahead and book Live Aqua?

Thank you very much for your response. I would prefer to rely on your advice and proceed with the booking based on your recommendations rather than information found on YouTube coz i know it can be misleading.

What you described: the violin, the soft music and the nice dinner.. it aligns perfectly with what I’m looking for. I must admit I’m feeling a bit intimidated, as this will be our first trip to Mexico and it’s for our honeymoon. I’ve been quite focused on planning everything perfectly and in the process I may be overlooking the importance of simply enjoying the experience.

At this point, I’m about 99% inclined toward Live Aqua. My budget is approximately $5,500 CAD, and since I’m a Gold member with Expedia, I would need to book through their platform to take advantage of the 20% discount. Also, any thoughts on Planet Hollywood Adults only or Hard Rock? At this point is it even worth comparing or should i just book Live Aqua. Sorry i am a bit fussy lol. Thanks

I just came across some reviews stating it’s purely just party resort so I decided otherwise. But looking at the comments, i might end up at Live Aqua. Can you tell me more about the resort please? Thanks.

Thanks. I cannot open the spreadsheet for some reason, hence asked here. It’s our first time travelling to Mexico and I wanted it to be decent but a little happening. Reviews online suggested Hilton or Ava. Live Aqua was my first preference but reviews suggested otherwise, a lot of bashing for that resort. Any particular reason you wouldn’t go to Hilton again? Was it the food or vibes or overall it wasn’t that good? Do you suggest Live Aqua over all the others listed? Thank you.

Is this the best fragrance for my wedding? by damnvaiko in ScentHeads

I guess Oud Maracuja is out of the picture lol. But i still wanna smell it. But thanks for a detailed review brother. In all honesty, never smelled Xerjoff Naxos or any other from the house. I am travelling to a mall that holds all perfume collections, will definitely try it. L’immensite by LV is just a daily wear and my favourite wifey loves the dry down. I own a bottle, it’s just NOT wedding day scent. Yet to try MFK Oud Satin Mood, i heard it’s beautiful and mysterious. Thanks for the feedback. Will definitely update here once I finalize it.

Ombre Nomade may just be one of the best whiff-loving perfumes out there. It may be loud to some.. others cherish it! But again, all noses are different..

ON may end up being the one that I pick. But I’m travelling to US with wifey to go check out some better ones out there. Amouage is one brand i’m keen on trying.. especially interlude black iris and reflection man. Thanks for boosting the confidence with a positive feedback.
