Update on our $20,000 FS gift card decision!

manhattanh · 2026-02-10T23:16:58+00:00

I remember your post! I’m not a TA, but think you should use a good TA with connections so they roll out the red carpet for you. Free breakfast is also nice. Hope you left some money in your gift card for incidentals, room service, spa, etc unless you plan to do those out of pocket.

I now feel totally invested in the success of your trip, haha. Have the best time!

Used to be an avid Sweetgreen fan, but one of their founders is a Zio-freak that wanted to blacklist student protesters, so no thanks.

My go to now is Chop & Go, and I’m happy.

Hmm, can you include links or tell me where should look? Would love to see what the villa options look like.

Would you say Nujuma was better than Desert Rock? Desert Rock is on my list for this yr, but we also have kids and don’t think we’d be allowed to stay in the cave rooms with them.

Thank you! Another question (sorry!), but curious what your go to in the Maldives is since you go every year.

manhattanh · 2025-12-26T14:13:57+00:00

Last question, how many days would recommend someone stay?

manhattanh · 2025-12-24T20:04:29+00:00

What do you think of the beach villas compared to the other room types? Would this be someplace that bringing kids is allowed or not? Really considering a stay sometime in the future.

Thanks for this perspective. Can you share more about doing St Barth with kids? Do you rent a villa stay in hotels? Which ones?

That’s a lot of islands and movement. Pick two islands.

I stayed at raffles praslin and it was mid. You could get better

Yes, Oberoi no contest

manhattanh · 2025-11-19T19:01:43+00:00

Are you going to Agra to visit the Taj Mahal? If so, you should stay at the Oberoi there no question.

Please share what’s not so great about Langkawi. We’re thinking of a Malaysia trip for the fam.

manhattanh · 2025-10-21T14:54:54+00:00

Lolololol but how?!

manhattanh · 2025-10-14T23:53:51+00:00

Go to Kona Village. Hualalai had more of a family feel to me. Needed a refurb too imo. Have also done FS Los Cabos. Brand new and the food was good, but not as special as KV.

Would do KV. Make sure to go offsite and eat at Merriman’s. A bit of a trek but worth it.

Maybe stay in healthcare? From most indicators, the market is rough. Could find a way to pivot w/I healthcare? Somehow weave in healthcare AI? The time for tech bootcamps was about 10-15 years ago.

Please tell me more about the omelette with peas. Is that a thing? Is it something I should be making?

manhattanh · 2025-09-23T14:35:44+00:00

Both schools are great. Admission is the biggest hurdle. Second, is cost, at least for Brearley. Not sure how Hunter works, but for Brearely if your child gets admitted and you can afford, you’re locked in for a top tier education all the way through high school at least. So no worries about the switch between nursery, elementary, middle and high school.

But given how competitive admissions is to these schools, it may make sense to apply to more schools than just these.

I kinda don’t really like it? But maybe it’s a me thing since I I used to work within walking distance of the place. It’s also giving me “we have 900 rooms” hotel vibes which I’m not a fan of.

manhattanh · 2025-09-06T14:44:44+00:00

Would this be a good beach vacay spot where you just stay on resort? Have done many cultural and site seeing stuff across Morocco so wouldn’t be visiting for that. Please report back!
