We stayed at the H10 Palazzo Galla in Rome. Good value and excellent location. [link=( https://www.h10hotels.com/en/rome-hotels/h10-palazzo-galla)]https://www.h10hotels.com/en/rome-hotels/h10-palazzo-galla[/link]...
I was very involved with Jindal first (losing) campaign to Blanco when i was in my 20s. It was hard not to be impressed with him as his intelligence and command of even arcane policy was incredible. I really liked the people he had around him in that campaign and enjoyed the insurgent aspect of it....

I just walked from uptown to garden district. Observed family and friends from every social class and age having a great time on a random Tuesday everywhere else. Actually hate being with the masses these days and had to be dragged out but loved every minute today. Actually made me appreciate li...

Thanks for this post. Gone from strong and a little fat to really fat and a little strong over the past 15 yrs. Is there anyone you recommend that I could work with a coach to implement this? Have always been intimidated by supplements/peptides and would like to talk to an expert that’s helping ...
Had the 2019 Q7 and now have the 2023, both with the 3.0 engine. 2019 was the favorite car i've ever owned (transitioned from Yukon). Drove great and loved the tech. Have not loved the 2023. I do not care for the touch screens. I have experienced a number of issues with the car and can tell t...
As with most threads here there is some good and some ridiculous takes in this thread: 1A) the Saints are not going to relocate anytime soon. Although in the bottom quadrant, they are far from the lowest revenue team in the NFL. Their deal with the State is the envy of many franchises and more ...
Have them come back into campus after the game starts. Pull on to Skip Bertman just pass railroad tracks and across from the football ops building. Did this for the Alabama game last year. I got back to New Orleans before some of my friends that have parking passes were able to get home in BR. R...

Pretty much my life here this summer. Also went to Italy in late June and it was rugged there 90%’of the time. Wish we could go in the spring but that’s not happening. ...

Signed up for a couple of programs (Air Canada, Alaska and Singapore) and TR's point above about basically no availability of award flights seems to be proving out. No alliance flights showing on United either. Likely will just split up with 2 on delta and 2 on united. ...

Sorry - yes i realize that there are other airline partners i can transfer to, however i currently only have Delta and United accounts. Actually, my not well phrased initial query was directly related to this. Is there a painless way to explore opportunities for lower mile redemptions with oth...

Miles / Points travel consulting

Posted by DandyPimp on 8/30/23 at 6:08 am
Trying to figure out the best way to maximize usage of points / miles for a family trip to Japan next summer. Have AMEX & Chase points and pretty significant United and Delta miles built up. Are there consultants that you can pay a small fee to help generate maximum redemption value?...

The city is actually not in terrible financial condition. I'm convinced the only feasible way to efficiently rebuild the police force is to provide massive incentives to officers that have recently quit the force. Rehires can be back on the street in days versus weeks for new recruits. I hate g...
