For AmEx Marriott Bevy and Marriott Brilliant, can you hold both at once? Preference as to which card is better. We have a bunch of expenses as we get the house ready to sell as we head south to MS for a few years as DS is Ole Miss bound!
Life has been quite busy with having a senior and determining a college selection. (I think we are down to 2 but waiting to hear from 1.) We are headed on a Greek Isles/Adriatic cruise from Ravenna in June and Alaska cruise from Vancouver in July to celebrate.
Would Welcome any excursion...
We cruise quite frequently out of Miami. We like the Hyatt Centric and Hyatt Regency in Brickell/downtown. It‘s an easy Uber ride to the port in the morning. Be prepared for how busy that port can be for drop-offs. We had delayed boarding in December and it took over an hour for what should have...
DH has been hitting Casino Royale when we have been cruising RCCL. Thanks to his efforts we are headed to Italy for 7 night to the Greek Isles and Adriatic cruise in June in a balcony room for $863 for 3 of us. The cruise leaves out of Ravenna. Any pointers for Venice (where to stay or what to...
Is flying SW out of Louisville not an option? We did the drive on our college tours and it was an easy drive from Lexington to Louisville as we did both tours in the same day before flying home.
Bama game was amazing despite the loss. DS enjoyed his experience. The worst part was coming out to our rental to find some ****** and hit it and left the scene. No idea when it happened since we are parked Fri night and walked everywhere until it was time to drive back to Atlanta. Luckily, I...
Thanks! We are staying at the Home2Suites since it was available on points. I am debating whether we walk from there (which seems long especially after the game since it doesn’t start until 6 pm) or try and find closer parking.
I had dinner the Half Shell in July and I am looking forward to...
We did RCCL Med this summer from Barcelona and had an AMAZING trip. We are still talking about it 3 months later. We saw many families with young kids on the ship. If you go during the summer be prepared for the heat. It feel like you didn’t leave FL. We were lucky it was only in the mid 90s...
Thanks! Yes, the Texas game. I was able to book the Home2Suites in Tuscaloosa. I stayed at the Embassy Suites in July but it is sold out and H2S had rooms going for $1100 a night or 60k. Probably the best Hilton redemption never. So it will be a bit of a hike but so would on-site parking.
We...
When DS was little, we did Disney and he absolutely the club despite being a clingy boy. We now do RCCL and they’re definitely so much to do. Especially on the bigger ships with the carousel, younger kid water play area and more. Many times we don’t even get off at port and just enjoy the quiet...
Crazy question- I am taking DS to his first college football this weekend at the University of Alabama. He is hoping to go college there next year. Has anyone been and have any advice? I have never been to a college game so this is brand new territory. Roll Tide!
Has anyone cruised out of Galveston? Preferred pre-cruise hotel. I am looking at Homewood Suites, Hilton Galveston Island Resort and Grand Galvez. Any recommendations?
SW had a limited CP offer in April for booking and taking flights in late April/ May. Did anyone do the offer? Trying to figure out when I’ll see the CP to be able to use it...
I am so torn. DS is headed to U of Alabama this week. I am going with him but he’ll be on campus. I can’t decide on just staying in Tuscaloosa at the Embassy Suites or the HR in Birmingham. I could use the Hyatt nights to maintain my status but it seems like being in Tuscaloosa would be fun...
PHL is also another option for direct flights to BCN on AA. We just flew with them and it was easy getting in and out of Philly. we’re in MD so we did the drive and didn’t need to position.
No, RCCL Med cruise. I have US $ on me but that doesn’t help. Definitely will get some Euros next time before I leave the States. I have 5 Euros that one of my colleagues gave me. That seems insulting to tip that.
