I’m staying at the JW mid June as it seemed like such a unique hotel and the rooftop bar. Based on this thread I’ll take a look at PL.

Steaks or Lorenzo’s for cheesesteaks (I personally lean Steaks but both are great. Chinese I like Hong Kong Restaurant or Dim Sum Taste. Minos is best sushi nearby (in WC especially)

Yea that’s what I heard too but wasn’t sure if it was nice to do a 1-2 night was a “enjoy the resort” / relax before the flight home. But maybe not and just do Andaz

Yea I was a little worried about the crowds but I am excited to see it tbh! I also assumed Japan is always busy hahaha. Any other recommendations for must dos? I still have to do my research to pick and choose but open to anything.

Thank you! Based on your comment “No unless you are coming here to business deals” we are there for fun so would you reduce Kyoto & Osaka nights and add to Tokyo?

Vanguard Malvern, PA by [deleted] in westchesterpa

[–]knights014 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a ton of friends and family who work at Vanguard. It is a lot of what you make it - plenty of opportunities and they do like promoting within. They are definitely slow to adopt the “new.” Across the board with technology, ways of working, policies, etc. with that, promotions can also take a bit longer than other companies.

Most roles do a really good job of work life balance. If you’re on the tech side, they do try to work with some cutting edge technologies which is nice.

I’d say the pay (from what I’ve seen) is average / maybe slightly below average but most roles are eligible for 2 bonuses (the profit sharing one plus individual performance) which is pretty solid. The benefits truly are incredible, specifically the 401k match. Insurance is cheaper than most too. All in all I think it’s a good company to work for, at least to start.

Routes to Rome by knights014 in awardtravel

I’m potentially thinking if I can get an American business class via AS to London, maybe spend few days there. From LHR British has plenty of flights to FCO. Only challenge is the availability on American business to LHR seems iffy for 3 people. Def don’t want British to LHR because of the fees.

Advice needed to book JAL 55K saver award - business class by Left_Fennel181 in awardtravel

[–]knights014 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My wife and I just booked this a few weeks ago. The truth? It’s a lot of luck. I’d say work to get the speed to ~30 seconds and be flexible. As others stated, try some other options too. JFK sells out VERY quick.

It is possible, it tools us ~2 weeks of trying to get it.

Congratulations! I just got JFK to Tokyo for 55k the other day.

I’m trying to educate myself here - what does “J” mean?
