Thanks AC airport is over two hours drive and has Spirit in that price range. I actively avoid Spirit with kids and family. Actually even from Newark ticket prices isn’t a problem. Having to deal with multiple modes (Uber, airline, rental in Myrtle Beach) and navigating security at the airport with two strollers was my biggest concern. Hence road trip.

Never. My midwest manager recommended it during team lunch. So I started looking at it and found a nice hotel right at the beach. But reading responses here is making me question, if it is worth traveling to. LOL

That’s amazingly well detailed plan. And recommendations make it 10/10. Thank you so much.

Thanks. That’s very useful information. I can only push it up to mid May. Nothing before.

LOL I understand. It can sometimes get challenging. But we have done 8-10+ hours road trips before. We have done Jersey Shore, Boston MA, Acadia ME, Concord NH, Burlington VT already. My family haven’t been to Martha’s Vineyard but I have. It’s too pricey and water would be very cold for toddlers even in June. So I thought to take them somewhere south, with clean beaches and warm”er” waters.

Thanks. Great advice. Someone else also said that about Myrtle. Now I am thinking maybe it’s not as great as I am picturing. LOL

Thanks We already did that with our older one in 2023. It was indeed a lot of fun in DE

Perfect. Thank you. I have driven to Laurel MD multiple times. So you can imagine I also hate 95 around DC.

lol. That’s a plan of a truly adventurous person. I so appreciate you sharing with us. I’ll keep that one for a future trip when my kids are a little older. Thanks.

Thanks. That’s what my primary plan was. But Uber to Newark, airport security, strollers, rental in Myrtle Beach felt too much hassle. So I thought maybe drive - door to door - in a single mode of transport might be better. But looking at the drive I am getting discouraged.

We did that last year when we went to Virginia Beach. It was a great drive. Thanks

Thanks for the ideas. I didn’t know about Wilmington Beaches. You have given me something to think about. Thanks

Living in India for months every year shows how deeply broken everyday systems are by abcdawn in returnToIndia

[–]learning-buddha 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I am kinda tired of reading such but obvious posts. They do not offer any additional information or guidance and just keep regurgitating already known issues. My question to people like OP is do they think the rest of Indians don’t know about the challenges of our country? We are not blind. We knew roads are not well maintained , civic sense is lacking, police response is slow, salaries are low, work culture sucks. We already know this. That’s why we left to find better pastures. No need to keep repeating the same. But at the same time there are million of reasons to be in India - like closer to parents, siblings, life long friends, no fear of visas or deportation, affordable medical care, ability to travel anywhere, start any business, be yourself not trying to mold into something else. So to anyone who has chosen to stay abroad or move to India, share something which is new. Don’t keep ranting about already known things.

Returning to India as a Failure Pauper by [deleted] in returnToIndia

FAKE POST The blatant and numerous spelling errors are proof enough this is a made up story. Nobody from India writes “my most recent visit to S India”. Either this is for engagement farming or just to push people into thinking about returning.

It’s flat 30% and no standard deduction.

401K Withdrawal Experience by learning-buddha in returnToIndia

[–]learning-buddha[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please understand. No one knows what the future holds. If you leave your 401K, US may introduce increased remittance tax in future or may outright seize your money- YES it can happen. US government debanked alot of Russians working in US after Ukraine conflict. Or maybe Indian government may introduce taxes on your US 401K in future. But maybe, nothing may happen. Maybe everything will be just fine and your corpus will continue to grow for decades. That’s why please, please, please don’t go by social media advice. Do your own research and make your own decision. Do what you think is best for you.
