re: Summer Trip to Italy Question
Posted by SeasonOfSam on 4/14/24 at 8:33 pm
Serious question—what are you planning to do in Naples?
We caught the train from Rome to Napoli Centrale, then a taxi to the port, and a ferry to Capri. That was enough of Naples for us. ...

re: Summer Trip to Italy Question
Posted by SeasonOfSam on 4/14/24 at 8:32 pm
We just got back from Rome, Capri, Positano. We didn’t rent a car, but will tell you the driving around Amalfi is brutal. Combine buses and mopeds with the narrow streets, and you’re in for a different world of crazy. And that’s before peak summer tourist season. Also, there’s virtually no parking i...
re: Italy in July - Family trip with young kids

Also, skip Naples.
Some locals say there is some charm to the city, but didn’t miss much by not staying there. Just dealing with the crowds from the train station to the taxi to the ferry was enough. That’s a whole other breed. ...

Sitting in the airport in Rome (FCO) after 3 days in Rome, 3 days in Capri, 4 days in Positano, back to Rome for one night.
Took the train from Rome to Naples, then took the ferry to Capri for 2 nights. AnaCapri is worth seeing and the chair lift is cool, but you can see it in one day. A day tri...
re: Rome - 3 days - what to do
Posted by SeasonOfSam on 4/6/24 at 3:21 pm
My wife and I just left Rome, and are currently in Capri.
In Rome, we found the best single thing we did was a private golf cart tour of the city. It was just us and the driver. He asked what we had seen and what we were interested in, then gave us a custom trip around the city. He stopped at a ...

I was at that show. Sound wasn’t great, but I attributed it to being open air.
But I was pretty disappointed in the overall performance. I’ve seen them maybe 8-10 times prior, but that was before their break. While the rest of the band was into ...

I used to tell people that the best option is to buy your own plane for training as I was fortunate that I found a young CFI with his own plane (PA-28-160) just trying to build time to make the jump to airline. Once he got called up, I bought the plane from him (18 hours...

I did my work at Lakefront NOLA (KNEW) and really believe that having the Tower / Controlled factor early made it easy to get a handle on my radio work. You can typically tell a pilot that did not train at a controlled airport when they get on the radio with the Tower.
I performed most of my mane...
re: Do you know personally know someone that has absolutely no understanding of money?
Posted by SeasonOfSam on 2/22/24 at 10:32 am
I worked with an Admin a few years back who also happened to be the daughter of a Senior PM, and the granddaughter of a prominent family. She was bitching one day about being broke. But as we discussed it further, it boiled down to her "buying whatever she "wants".
I tried to explain to her that...
re: How to raise a shed?
Posted by SeasonOfSam on 2/19/24 at 11:57 am
[quote]I think you've oversimplified this project.
How wide is the shed? What size ceiling joists does it now have? How much load per sq. ft. will be in the 2nd floor when finished? Are the inside walls covered or just open studs?
The width of the shed will determine what size lumber has to be...

We were planning to get married Summer 2020, but pushed it to Summer 2021. We originally planned Italy for the honeymoon, but after the reschedule we called an audible for Cap Maison in St Lucia. It’s a boutique resort, and you can opt in or out of the the All Inclusive. The food was top tier, and e...

re: Best criteria for used tahoes. And is a new Tahoe pretty good?
Posted by SeasonOfSam on 10/25/23 at 8:56 am
I had the 2011 Tahoe with the 5.3L and absolutely loved it. No issues. Owned it 8 years and 180k miles, then traded it for a new 2018 F150 FX4 Platinum in early ‘19.
Nice truck, but I miss that Tahoe every day ...
