  1. That could have been much worse
  2. People make a lot of incorrect statements about San Antonio. This is not one of them
  3. I didnt really love San Pedro. Was fun for a day and I did enjoy the beers and burger at No Hay Deer. I heard San Juan is much more laid back and better for older travelers. I had a pretty good meal up in the Bario area of San Pedro at Mikaso Hotel at the suggestion of the Hay Deer owner. Santa Cruz was more my style. Panajachel wasnt bad either.
  4. That seems fair. I dont feel the need to return immediately but to me at this point being super close and having the outdoor activities I enjoy I can see a day where I just want to chill on lake atilan or wander around antigua for a few days or find a little place on the water
  5. Anyone ever bought PL tickets off of stubhub? Going to a match in May. Club tickets are sold out even for club memebers like me.
  6. Maybe you should stop smuggling drugs Myself as well as both my kids were insta-reapproved
  7. Taxi: cheap but timely not for those who get sea sick Flight: more expensive and fast but not for those who don't like small planes.
  8. Yup. It's definitely starting to lose it's small feel.
  9. Anyone buy Spurs tickets off of stubhub? I am going to the Burnley match. Last home game and even as a Hotspur+ member no tickets from the club ticket office at all. Tickets went on sale this morning. Hard to imagine. The club said just keep an eye on the ticket exchange but Id rather go ahead and aquire some tickets even though its still two months out.
  10. I've been twice and will take my buddy in May. It never gets old
  11. It takes 3 I changed scarfs. You're welcome
  12. An underated movie for sure
  13. I didnt really like Brussels and been there done that. The eurostar first class from London to Brussels was indeed quite nice. The Thaleys from Brussels to AMS not so much. Someone asshole would not get out of my seat but bonus I ended up sitting with three 20 somethings who didnt really believe in bras

    Getting old sucks

    I'm dealing with bicept tendinitis. Got a shot about 9 mths ago. Better then it got worse. My buddy who is my ortho sent me to get a sonagram injection right into the tendon. That doc commented that my tendon was "out of its track". Said we can try this but probably won't work as a permanent solution. 3 months later pain is returning. Fuck. Sounds like surgery is in my near future
  15. Ignore the music. Im not great at editing. I'm going to upload a second video here in about 10. Was in Guatemala and found this ride in Antigua wth Old Town Outfitters. El Zur Mtn BIke Park. For $200 they took me there and loaned me a bike and a helmet. I brought my own shoes and gloves. My guide Pablo was great. They take you to the bottom of the volcano then load the bikes onto a 40 year old toyota 4x4 completee with 10 year old kid getting out to lock the hubs. You ride in the back with the bikes holding on to the rails for dear life. The ride up was a freaking workout staying in the back. We almost got stuck several times the road up was steep as shit. These videos show its a pretty moderate skill level. The views from the trail when it wasnt covered in trees and brush was amazing. There was one rock wall feature that I would take on at home but not half way down a volcano. Was not interested in a broken arm two days into an 8 day vacation. I had a few small crashes turning on some of those right handed switchbacks. Just ran out of room to the left and in some of those places it was straight down the cliff. It's about two hours down. When you get done they have a beer and some sandwiches. My gopro ran out of power about 3/4 down. Missed the lower quarter which was probably the best part TBH
  16. This will be my fourth visit to London. Done pretty much everything. But agreed its a great city. My buddy coming with me has not been so we might end up with an extra day so he can sightsee a bit more
  17. London for two nights. Going to a EPL match. Flying out of AMS 6 days later. 4 years ago I went to Brussels and then Bruges. Might do Bruges again but what else? Rotterdam? Ghent? Antwerp?Should we roll over to Cologne? Maybe to Dortmund for another match?
  18. I think secret is more kid friendly as far as the water but it also has more of a club feel. Definitely bring your sunglasses to check out the strings while your wife isn't looking. Caulker had more shops and restaurants etc to wander around.
  19. Need some pro advice. Looking to maintain my UA gold status. I am going to LON/AMS in May. I am booking through Lufthansa so I can earn more PQPs based on distance not just $$. Based on mileage I should earn the max PQPs of 1500 vs 1100 based on booking through United. The entire trip will be on UA metal. My question is this. Will I still have all the benefits of my status on United? Will I still get complimentary upgrades? Will I still get to pick ecoplus seats at the time of booking? Also as on past long haul trips I monitor the cost of upgrades to prem plus or even polaris. eg last Sept I was able to purchase a polaris seat to Santiago for $600. Lie flat for 9 hours for $600 all fucking day. WIll I still be able to buy an upgrade at a later date if booked through a partner airline.
