Meant to reply to you ^^^

To city center, yep. Took 10-15 min?

$166/night for hotels?! I’m guessing average hotel room is $300/night
Hilton Garden Inn in Florence (we stayed there, good hotel, good A/C, and semi close) 119 Euro/night
166 can be done, but might be a little low. We stayed really cheap and it was fine.. we used the hotels to sleep and eat breakfast and that's it.

One $250 dinner in Italy blows your budget for two days
We had a few nice meals, but the street food and small restaurants were very affordable.
Half the time we were on food and wine tours so meals were covered. I would probably say $150/day on food and wine, you can make that work

It was like herding cows through the pens, but I'm glad I saw it. I think you should go just to do mass at the Vatican and I'm not even Catholic. It's a Holy place and you should go.
We kinda do like you, but we leave a day or two to do nothing, or be spontaneous. Thinking back, those are the most memorable days of our vacas.
re: Chicago seems like a wonderful city - why does everyone here shite on it?

Kinda with you. Went last November, early November, and it was really nice. We had a great time and are looking forward to going back.
Bumping this to see if there is any new info. Leaving soon to go on our trip.
re: Advice on what to do with 500K Chase Sapphire Reserve points before annual renewal cancel

Yeah meant to say Hyatt but had Marriot on the brain. I booked two nights at the Reno airport Hyatt for 18000 points. Hard to beat that.

Marriot was having a 25% transfer bonus a few weeks ago when I was transferring.
Even though you mostly fly Delta, there are still some good deals to be had on long flights. I would plan a trip around United flights paired with Marriot stays. Be flexible on the flights and your points can go a long ways.

re: Voters rejected a 1-cent sales tax in 2023 to give Livingston Parish teachers a raise

You must not have a teacher in the family. I promise you their day doesn't end at 3 pm and all summer, they're doing nothing. My wife takes a few weeks off and then starts prepping for the next year. All those breaks, yeah, she's working on getting papers graded, projects tidied up, and grades submitted. It's not a cake walk. In fact, my job (engineer) is a lot easier than what she had to do (math teacher, STEM teacher).
Yeah, not even 1/2 dozen.. which normal..
