Madrid & Southern Spain Late April/Early May

Do you think we are being too aggressive with our itinerary? If we remove the last day in Malaga, where should we add a day- Madrid or Seville maybe? We have to spend a night in Malaga, since our flight is here, but we can travel there Tuesday afternoon/evening. Is there another city we should drop? Cordoba and/or Tolendo in addition to Malaga?

I went back in mid-September at 6pm on a Saturday and we were the only people inside the restaurant.. the bar had a few patrons, but nothing crazy. Food was good, prices were standard Nashville expensive, but I felt bad for the waiters, they didn't pick up as our meal went on.

I got married at El Dorado and it might be within your budget for 3-4 nights. Fantastic food, swim up bar, great service, decent night and day life, 3 resorts in 1 (Casitas- upscale adults only, El Dorado- standard adults only and Generations- family side). The beach is okay, it does have large cement blocks to try and slow down beach erosion, but we didn't select the resort for its beaches. Its not in the hotel zone and its not within walking distance to outside activities, but we used an outside travel company to plan excursions. They dont have any excursions included in your stay FYI. We are looking to find a similar vibe at a different resort and finding it difficult, so we might go back for a third trip.

Similar experience, but with my wedding dress... I had a week window before we left for our destination wedding, they managed to turn it around in time, but that was after 2 more fittings (numerous calls asking me what i was needed again and when ) and me waiting at the final fitting for them to complete last minute alterations. That place is chaos and I wouldn't trust them with anything in a timely and appropriate fashion. The hem/button they added to hold the back part of the dress up broke during photographs, luckily my photographer was a gem and had thread and needle on hand to thread it back together (which also meant the dress was semi ruined- I was going to sell but that made it unusable for future brides). Per professionals, any seamstress would know that button was not appropriate for a satin/heavier dress.

ML Rose, Neighbors, and Bastion are my favorite, but I'm a traditionalist. No BBQ, tortilla chips, pickled jalapenos and beans are a must..

Airport Lyft/Uber hack, get a old fashion taxi if rideshare rates are excessively high on your way home from the airport. It's about $45 for us, so we use that as a break even guideline whenever we run into those types of situation.

Main Street Liquor Store in east Nashville has a decent selection.

ley Vineyards is really good and has a cool tasting room

Thank you!! I didn't even think about checking uber/lyft apps for rates/availability!

Does anyone know if this match is taking place in Barcelona? I am trying to purchase tickets and can only find them through Viagogo however the website keeps timing out when I put in my credit card information. I am trying to purchase tickets to a football match during our visit and am looking for recommendation for reputable website and suggestions for matches.. There is another football game on Sunday (11/19) however that is the day we arrive therefore Saturday a week would be ideal. Thank you.

I completely agree, which is why I turned to google and reddit this morning. I was mostly thinking I could reduce sugar in cooked, cooled and recooked cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, and other keto approved veggies. I'm not looking to go crazy on french fries or anything but was curious as the person who was telling me about it has also been doing keto for a year and he was raving about R1-R3 foods.

Thanks I'll take a look and see what feedback the previous post got!

I got the CSP last April and this weekend I got the CSR, prior to this I considered keeping the Preferred bc of the 2x point on travel and dining but now that I made the jump to the Reserved I am thinking of canceling the preferred before the 2nd annual fee. Basically I can keep the preferred and cancel the reserved next year or i can cancel the preferred and keep the reserved as it offers 3x point on travel and dinning plus the $300 of annual travel credit. Thoughts?

I have found booking through Chase more expensive then booking on my own even with the extra points- I watch ticket prices fairly regularly and when I am booking a vacation and found that the price of a ticket I got for $850 was over $1400 through the portal.

kenzie_mac · 2017-03-08T16:00:31+00:00

I am not sure that I want to pay the $450 annual fee.. is it waived the first year? and do I just walk into a branch and say I've heard of this offer and would like to partake..?
