Put me in the camp that unless you want to go into a very very tightly networked industry like Wall St; it really doesnt matter where you go to school, relatively speaking. Especially if your kid has some work ethic and a personality. My son will end up with zero debt because he's getting free undergrad at Alamo College here and living at home. He wil be able to roll his 529 into his ROTH with an engineering degree from UTSA. He can spend the remainder of his 529 taking motorcycle mechnic courses because thats his passion. No AI or robot is going to fix a Ducati.
So I think I'm pretty set unless someone wants to blow this iten up. With my being an empty nester in less than two years this will not be my last trip to SE Asia. I'll probably make a trek over to that part of the world once a year.
3 nights in Sai Gon - Food, drinks and motorbikes ringing in my ear
3 nights in Denpasar area in a nice boutique beach villa
3 nghts in Ubud - Temples and shit
3 nights in Singapore - Singapore shit
Since we were on the topic of packing cubes. Anyone try those vaccum bags? Now those have me curious. With the use of laundry half way through a 10-14 day international trip I usually dont have any problems with one carry on 40L but a few extra items could be useful. Esp if I'm doing some adventours like mtn bike riding or a hike that requires specific shoes.
Ubud looks pretty good. I do love me some temples. I dont mind some craziness and people watching I just need to be able to get away from it at some point and get back to some peace. I get along with everyone and I can make friends in a 60 plus only hotel or a hostel.
No clue. I'd rather stay at some type of boutique hotel or resort. I dont like mega resorts. I like all kinds of food. I've eaten at multiple Michellin stars and I've paid .80 for Pho on a street in Ha Noi. I'm a 3.5 and up star but have spent some nights in some places that looked like a interogation room (hello Playa Maderas Nicaragua). I work quite a bit when I travel so wifi is important. I dont mind taking a taxi or renting a scooter for a day etc and then back to my balcony over looking the pool or beach etc.
Spending the day out and about and comgin back to this looks pretty perfect

I considered KL as well because as much as I like a nice scenic beach I actually prefer big cities. Art, people watching, good food etc. I did want to sneak in a few days staring at the ocean and driking a beer or six with nothing to do but lay in the sun. Maybe I go back to Cambodia instead. I've been wanting to check out their islands.
Starting to see some of this. Plus I am far far away from the backpack 20 something crowd. I'm more of a 4 star AC private bath kind of traveler. Looks like Balis sister island Lombok is better and I can always take a ferrry over for a day or night.
Thanks to new kids schedule I have 3 weeks in November to get out of town. I haven't been to SE Asia in 4 years. Fly into SGN and out of Singapore. I am thinking.
SGN 3 nights
BALI 5 nights
Singapore 3 nights
I've already bene to Viet Nam twice but never Bali or Singapore. Any one suggest moving those around? Is singapore worth a few nights? Should I got somewhere else in Indonesia or Malaysia? I can add a night or two on the trip but I find after 10-12 days I'm ready to get back home.
WHOA LEVY IS OUT!!
I thought I was looking at a fake account
I mean with the years of penny pinching and the absolutely embarassing Gibbs-White and EZE debacles it was past due.
Really is. Going from my Trident to the T120 I felt like I was riding a relcliner. Such a relaxed and comfortable bike but bags of power and a nice little rumble
Match Day Headed to watch with the San Antonio Spurs at Dakota Ice. Will roll nicely into the UT game. Also I placed a parlay on UT and Spurs winning their respective leagues. 1000 to 1 odds COYS
I have a 37L Cotapaxi. Great bag. You'll only ever seen me with a Eagle Creek or Cotapaxi ever again. These two bag manufacturers are so much better than anything else on the market including Osprey
90% of the backpacks I see suggested on here are garbage but this has absolutely peaked my interest. I do a lot of 1 night biz trips to DFW now so this hits home
Well if you ever spent any time at the Mens club in either San Antonio or Dallas circa 2008-2015 you dont need pics.
Decided to skip Jaco and just do 3 nights at Tulemar and 2 nights in Fortuna because I've never been there. The drive will kind of suck
Finally going back to CR on Oct 8th with a lady friend. 5 nights total. I think we will do either 2 or 3 nights at Tulemar in MA and then the remainder in Jaco because I've actually never been there. She doesn't fish but I asked her if she's cool with just being on the boat with her size G tits in a bikini handing me beers and she said "do I have to wear a top?" Any suggeston on what room to get at Tulemar?
Any input on where to stay in Jaco from anyone? Money is generally not an issue. Definitely want a pool and beach front would be preferable. And even though we both have teens; neither of us want a bunch of screaming brats ruining our day
@justhookit I sent you a message on boat
