  1. I ordered 6 cases from my favorite little vineyard in Gaiole in Chianti this week. Cannot wait for to to arrive.
  2. This is why I go back. Among other reasons.

    Roatan

    We've stayed on Roatan twice and rented a villa on West Bay Beach. The bad. Coxen Hole is a shithole. Avoid it at all costs. The good. The rest of the island for the most part is awesome. West Bay Beach is a pretty beach with tons of restaurants on it. Accommodations range from not so cheap to a cheap diving hotel right on the beach. If you are a diver it's much cheaper to stay on the island and book your dives. A different eating spot is Cal's Temporary Cantina. What Cal lacks in personality he makes up in cooking chops. A day trip to the east end (undeveloped) side of the island makes for a nice day.
  4. My favorite chicken dish in the world. Glad you found it. We love that place. It's such a simple delicious dish.
  5. Yep, We've decided just to do private drivers between a couple of cities in Spain. It's not much worse than renting a car without any of the hassle.
  6. It's Rodeo Drive on steroids and at 5 PM the beautiful people gather in the main piazza for cocktails before dinner. What's not to like other than the fact that it is $$$$$.
  7. I will be there for the Spanish Grand Prix and that will consume most of my time. Ferrari!!
  8. Piednmonte.
  9. Yep. Italy is a tough cover. I could spend a year there and scratch the surface of the places I want to explore.
  10. Nearly four hours each way for a day trip and one that is on treacherous roads for the last part of the drive? No thank you.
  11. I know you guys love him because he loves Texas but I think he's lost a step. Great personality. Driver who job hops regularly for money and didn't give several teams time to develop the car under him. JMO.
  12. If McLaren could just get their shit together with the new car it could be incredible racing. I do think Danny Ric has to go after this year. He just doesn't have it anymore IMO.
  13. What a race. LeClerc is proving not only to be very good but also a classy guy. Refreshing to see. Ferrari vs. Red Bull is epic. New engines so cars are now breaking which adds another element. Awesome stuff.
  14. It's Miami.
  15. Weird. I got the announcement email from Qatar yesterday.
  16. Qatar Air announced they will be Avios in the near future.
  17. Yep. If people are willing to do some legwork there’s still value. Miami to Madrid. Turn MR points into Avios at 1:1.6. Then book on Iberia (no huge fuel surcharge like British Air) at 42500 Avios in business class off peak each way. Round trip Miami to Madrid for 53125 Amex MR points. That’s a good redemption and there are others out there. Hint: Don’t fly across the pond on American carriers. Use their partner airlines for much better value.
  18. Ferrari was third in constructors last year. I wouldn’t call that stinking.
  19. If true that is a damned nice advantage to have.
  20. I hear you on that. That's why I love my little business class pod on international flights. The only interaction I want is food and drink. A tuck in service would be nice too.
  21. I just found a pub in the airport and got beer and fish and chips there.
  22. The first thing you have to do at Heathrow is go through their customs and then check back in to the restricted area for your next flight. At least that's what happened the last time we had a layover there. It's a PITA and you need to be up to speed on what is and isn't allowed to go through their TSA (or whatever it's called) line.
  23. The blue for Verstappen's comms is unreadable.
  24. Miller was on the Today Show spreading his message about mental health. Today Show Clip
  25. While the shakiness of the camera is annoying it gives a unique perspective.
