THat's American speak though, so the real cost will be $800 with taxes, fees, mystery charges etc. Everything looks cheap in north america as the business is somehow able to advertise without taking into account it's costs.

Not sure if meant for me but I’ll address the cost on flight. Got in on a $280 RT flight on Swiss from SFO-Rome for April 2019. I typically only bring a carry-on so not an issue for me. Some of the cheapest tickets don’t allow check-in baggage and some airlines do have a limit on weight for carry-ons (Singapore, Lufthansa, Swiss all have about 18 lbs limit). Never had to pay for other charges so the cost of flight was how much I paid. Did almost 2 weeks in Rome and Amalfi Coast and our cost per person was less than $1,500 all in (there were 4 of us to divvy up rental car, hotels, and airbnb).

We bought a condo there so it is our vacation spot for the foreseeable future, whether we like it or not lol. (Fortunately we do.)

You say that as a joke, but I almost hit a gator crossing the road leaving my house at 5am this morning - just 40mins from Kiawah. It's been pouring so he thought he could scurry before the morning traffic starts going. Funny part was I saw a morning jogger heading right towards him - hope he made it unscathed hahaha

I got the 1st and 2nd moderna vaccination. I'm down for a booster this fall or winter if needed.
Oh! Vacation! My bad. I should really learn how to read. |

Our condo is in Asheville… no not in a rental program although there are some permitted for short-term rentals in the building. I wish we bought the first property we saw when we started looking there in 2015-2016 with the way property values have increased.

I’m actually about an hour and change from Asheville at the moment. Funny as I’ll be there in about five more weeks. Arrived hours ago and met up with my brother in law as he just picked up a ‘15 328i Sport Line (right) which almost matches my f36.

If you want real Nashville hot chicken, check out Farmacy. Vida is a tapas style restaurant I highly recommend. What kind of food are looking for? Tupelo honey is another great lunch spot. If you want killer burgers…Stock and barrel. You want killer tacos…Chivo Taqueria. Things to do? Depends on what your interests are. Hiking is very popular. You want to have gourmet food and bowling…check out Maple Hall.

Dang, agency just called and Copper Canyon is "suspended" until the Mexican government decides about tourists. We are getting a refund, and looking into a cruise from Seattle to Alaska, since we all have 2 weeks off. Leisurely cruise north for a couple days, get on a boat, then fly home at the end.

1. Book the "inside passage" cruise 2. If it's in your budget, do a seaplane tour 3. Glacier excursions are pretty cool - and small ice chunks are frequently accessible to pick up and as it melts, you can sip the water and it's like drinking purified water that is tens of thousands of years old! 4. Salmon fishing is awesome, and they can process and send you the frozen fish so it arrives at your home shortly after you do. 5. Do splurge and book a balcony cabin for the views 6. Bald eagles are like pigeons up there - they're everywhere but have a decent camera with a zoom or telephoto lens for the best pictures. |
