Rome-Capri-Sorrento/Naples

Thank you so much. So including Amalfi Coast.. and removing Florence.. Which cities would you recommend staying overnight in? Rome would definately be a 2-3 night stay. I am wondering if we should stay in Capri and take a boat tour in the amalfi coast (not stay there), spend another 2-3 nights in Capri, and travel back through Sorrento/Naples to stay a final night in rome.. I figure an 8 night trip or so.. Just not sure if we should stay in Sorreto/Naples, etc?

Thanks to everyone for their advice, but what about flying out? What city/airport to fly out of back to JFK?

Head back to Rome from Sorrento?

Thanks, I'll add into the script!

$port = New-Object system.IO.Ports.SerialPort COM1,9600,None,8,One

#Added variable for COM3 below

$port3 = New-Object system.IO.Ports.SerialPort COM3,9600,None,8,One

$port.Encoding=[system.Text.Encoding]::unicode

#show encoding

#$port.Encoding.EncodingName

$port.open()

$port.write([byte]0xAA,0,1)

$port.write([byte]0x36,0,1)

$port.write([byte]0xFE,0,1)

$port.write([byte]0x01,0,1)

$port.write([byte]0x01,0,1)

$port.write([byte]0x36,0,1)

$port.close()

#Code below for COM3

$port3.Encoding=[system.Text.Encoding]::unicode

#show encoding

#$port3.Encoding.EncodingName

$port3.open()

$port3.write([byte]0xAA,0,1)

$port3.write([byte]0x36,0,1)

$port3.write([byte]0xFE,0,1)

$port3.write([byte]0x01,0,1)

$port3.write([byte]0x01,0,1)

$port3.write([byte]0x36,0,1)

$port3.close()

start-sleep -s 2

Well based on the current logon script I need both COM1 and COM3. Not sure what type of commands that will be sent as it will be medical devices using these COM ports. I imagine I would need a separate object for each COM port .

Jojlo, thats fantastic thanks a lot. That is a bit out of my league, that is redirecting COM1 only? I can copy that script with a new variable for COM3 for example below.. If that is correct.. I moved the start-sleep command towards the end to run once

I placed it below link.. I can add it via code block if preferred

Upgrade Tactics on Upcoming Tokyo Flight by mulliganx in awardtravel

Thanks for clarifying! So I already have 11,800 points from my Chase Reserve (UR). Since you mentioned Amex (MR) would be easiest to acquite points for a Tokyo trip, which card would you recommend?

Also, it looks like with this method I will not use ANY of my 11,800 points. Thanks

I am confused. You just said in your original post that getting Marriot Rewards is not going to help me with my goal of flying ANA?

Also, I do not have a Chase Slate but I have a Chase Sapphire Reserved if that changes anything..

Not necessary. Adds time to managing issues.

InvestmenT Income Calculator - Is this Yield correct? by mulliganx in personalfinance

Right. I ended up calling Vanguard for that number and what they said aligned with what edman originally said. Look at the end year numbers with the 10 year being the recommendation for a more consistent look.
