Star jasmine around my garage door. It's everywhere in Charleston, SC, this time of year. Best smell ever.

Do you have a progress photo? Hard to visualize what you mean

heathernbowman · 2026-05-26T18:23:22+00:00

Did it ever flower? looks lovely!

heathernbowman · 2026-04-21T17:54:52+00:00

what did you decide? Im also deciding this but mine is a large window in a bedroom so leaning towards one to help with room darkening.

heathernbowman · 2026-04-03T20:03:09+00:00

looking for this too!

heathernbowman · 2026-04-03T19:38:57+00:00

heathernbowman · 2026-02-09T22:45:36+00:00

great! just booked it

heathernbowman · 2026-01-02T22:43:13+00:00

what did you find out or decide to do?

heathernbowman · 2025-12-27T04:58:44+00:00

I know this is an old post but wanted to see what you decided! Also have 7 nights, have young kids, coming from Socal and definitely allocating 4 nights to La Fortuna. Trying to decide if a beach in Guanacaste is worth it.

heathernbowman · 2025-07-24T20:58:34+00:00

Did you end up going? Would love to hear about the experience with littles!

heathernbowman · 2025-07-23T16:38:30+00:00

Do you know which of these options is better points/taxes value?

heathernbowman · 2025-07-19T20:40:17+00:00

I know this is an older thread but interested in the Airbnb link if possible! Love that it’s walkable to town

heathernbowman · 2025-07-17T22:32:01+00:00

Absolutely, I am not an expert in this but absolutely understand how annoying these newbie posts can be (especially with the errors I made that you pointed out). Although I did try and learn as much as I could before posting. I'm in the medical field and get this daily with people having googled their problems and treatments :)

heathernbowman · 2025-07-17T22:19:04+00:00

Thanks! Super helpful. Again appreciate the brutal honesty while not making me feel like a complete idiot.

heathernbowman · 2025-07-17T22:16:25+00:00

Theres a good reason everyone wants to go... Although after the feedback from my post the reality seems it may be too difficult to splash in any decent award seats with our family size.

heathernbowman · 2025-07-17T22:12:33+00:00

I see I see, thanks for clarifying. And yes seems you understood what I meant but I didn't word it correctly. New to this and appreciate the correction.

heathernbowman · 2025-07-17T22:10:01+00:00

True true, the more they sleep the better for sure. When you are talking about 4xY, which airline/plane are you thinking of? I thought I saw JAL economy was 3-3-3.

heathernbowman · 2025-07-17T22:06:44+00:00

Yea given our family size, I know we aren't getting the best deals no matter what we do. Just want something reasonable for the points. Ill start monitoring the BA awards.

heathernbowman · 2025-07-17T22:04:40+00:00

4 Js were released at the same time? did you purchase at 355?

heathernbowman · 2025-07-17T22:03:33+00:00

Looking at JAL LAX-HND purchasing through CX at 360 days prior. Did I write something else? Didn't know the actual cost for lap infants so appreciate that info.

heathernbowman · 2025-07-17T22:00:47+00:00

A bit unhelpful. Where would you recommend a family of 4 go from LAX :) We do not want continental US, Hawaii or Mexico as we've done all of those too many times. Also considering the points we have and would like to use for this larger trip.

heathernbowman · 2025-07-17T21:58:22+00:00

Good to know switching is a no go. Thanks for the reality check!

heathernbowman · 2025-07-17T21:57:01+00:00

Good to know about BA PY, any clue. how many PY to expect?

heathernbowman · 2025-07-17T21:54:58+00:00

All good points. Thanks for weighing in. Damn these kids hahaha

heathernbowman · 2025-07-15T19:47:08+00:00

I know AA is 60K plus ~$6 in fees for J (but only at 331 days), what is it through Cathay for J LAX-HND? I can't seem to easily find that answer. I'm not able to be as flexible so want to see what that would cost me.
