  1. Barclay has a 70,000 sub for their AA Aviator. If I wasn't committed to UA I'd be all over that. Might do it anyway
  2. It's a .10 per point discount. TPG has Hilton pts at .60 and these are purchased at .50.
  3. Because everything was different before and after. The TV deals and money changed everything.
  4. For Hilton peeps. Currently offering 100% bonus on pts purchases. Put it on your Hilton Amex and get points on top of points.
  5. Wtf?
  6. Isn't he in the last year of his contract? So either sell him this summer for $90 mil or get zero next summer?
  7. Definitely have the feeling that Harry is gone Can't blame him at all at this point
  8. This is why we can't have nice things
  9. Last match. Hopefully the lads send us out with a win and put this painful ass season to rest COYS!
  10. Well unfortunately for me the CSR offer has a 48 month rule. I'm at approx 30 months since my last Sapphire bonus. I've got two slots open in my 5/24 Anyone see any good SUB's? I have room to spend for a bonus.
  11. Loved The Sympathizer Juat started this
  12. How deaf can Levy be about what he is doing to the club. We all know that winning is not a goal at Spurs but now he's even putting the business and profitability of the club in peril.
  13. Are you sure we are talking about the same place? It's a 14 hour tour to the Caribbean side of Panama from PTY.
  14. Definitely the reason I generally crossed PTY off my possible second home/retirement list. Unless you live up in the mountains. Another reason why the Panama Canal is so impressive. Imagine working all day in the jungle heat and humidity. I'd fall over and die just to get a reprieve
  15. Talked to a couple on my trip and they said this is a rough trip and he wouldn't do it again. Apparently its all freaking day. He said the water is nice but he travels enough that he can see this type of stuff anywhere. If you can get away and out of PTY for two days I would suggest spending two night in Boquette. You can fly Panama Air fairly cheap. @Daichee Bell You must take your family to the restaurant in the Amarla Boutique Hotel in Casco Viejo. Kaandela I'll paste my story from instagram. Feel free to ask for Robin and tell him this story. I was looking around Casco Viejo for a post travel cocktail and a bite after a day of traveling from Boca Chica. The owner saw me looking in. The door was locked as they weren't open for a while. Regardless Robin insisted I come in anyway. I had the best old fashioned I've ever had. Talked about development of the area for a while. Based on that and the menu I asked for a table. Robin brought maître d over and was told to come back in an hour when they were open. As soon as I walked in the door "oh you are Mr. John Our guest of honor tonight" Of course they gave me the chefs table. Always the best seat. And everyone was calling me Mr John. Duck hash and short rib. Sorry I dug into the short rib before I took a picture.
  16. I'm not sure there is 3-4 days in Bogota. I would carve off at least one if not two somewhere and go to the coffee region.
  17. Anyone want this jersey? No long fits my fat ass. It's a Voler club large. Just pay the shipping and ill get it to you ASAP
  18. I used to see pictures in the Alcalde and it looked like everyone was taking their RMD but in fairness I probably owe that another look
  19. Exactly. I have met so many people just sitting at a bar or whatever but a lot of solo dinners and discovering things on my own vs talking over 1000 year old carvings etc. I have considered the hostel thing but at the same time I feel like Im a tad old but the one time I did hang around some hostel people they brought me into their wolf pack whole heartedly. Whenever I do a group tour I always have great time and usually end up meeting back up with those people later in the evening. And where is the solo Asia travel being documented? @mycox
  20. I thought I'd start here before I start randomly searching the web. Anyone belong to or know anything about travel clubs/groups? My impression is that these are normally retired people in their 70s and 80's being wheeled around some tourist site because thats what I seem to meet/see in airports etc. My pleasure travel is increasing every year as witnessed by my contributions and threads. 9 countries in the last 12 months. With my kids getting older and more independent my ability to lock my door and leave the country for weeks or even months is only going to increase. I've done a lot of solo travel and enjoy it but Im finding more and more I like having friends along for multiple reasons. My friends are a combination of can't due to work and family obligations and don't really enjoy travel enough to make it a priority I'm single 52. A group of people in their late 30's to early 50's would be optimal.
  21. What a joke of a club we are
