I literally JUST got back from this area. I would strongly suggest that if you are considering the Fairmont on Lake Louise you should reconsider and stay @ the Moraine Lake Lodge. They are around 20 min or so apart and Moraine Lake is Sooo much nicer and less crowded.

If you would like our itinerary I would be glad to share.

One of the world's most recognizable / famous butchers (dario cecchini) is also from that region. His shop and the connect restaurant is also worth the time.

Although Jean George just recently lost its 3rd star I’d highly recommend the experience.

Eleven Madison Park just recently reopened. so if the menu suits you I’d suggest attempting recommendation as far in advance as possible.. and let’s us know how the $24 coffee is

Also.. Florence is very well known for their leather craftsman. I’d suggest making a visit to Bajola if you’d like to browse some of the nicest , reasonably priced leather goods around. All hand made in Italy ????

On the phone currently and can add much more however a “must eat” for me is Buca Mario for bistecca alla fiorentina and grandmothers pie for dessert.

Also, best gelato we had all through Italy was in Florence such a romantic city. Slow down and walk the city at dusk. Make you way up the hill and take in a sunrise and the best view of the doumo.
Thanks...last year or so we decided to get outdoors more. The little guy (7 in May) has really taken a liking to being out in the parks , tent camping, seeing the wildlife upclose etc..

The park rangers tell us all the time they wish there’d see more younger folks visiting the parks.

re: 12 Days in Italy

Wife and I spent a similar about of time in Italy. We had the pretty standard Rome, Florence, Venice plans. What made it easier for us is that we flew into Rome and out of Venice.
Few notes:

Rome has amazing history but Florence stole our hearts. It’s simpme the ideal hub for many days trips. Do yourself a favor and spend a day in the Italian countryside and enjoy a glass or bottle of Brunello.

Pisa was worth the detour however Verona ( Juliet’s balcony) was a complete waste of time.

Ferrari museum was a car lovers wet dream.

If your travels take you to Venice a day boat trip to the either island of Murano or Burano is worth the time. These two islands are home to some world class glass artisans that will amaze you.

Italy won’t disappoint
Park # 5 for the little guy and me. Trip was planned prior to the arctic blast that came through Jan 4-6. Overnight lows touched 12 F and remained below freezing most of the day. Sunny weather helped as we hiked through the park. 30,000 acres of the last in tact bottom growth hard wood forest in our great country.












Thanks. I registered the little guy and just a few days later received an email that it had been canceled.

Just going to enjoy the holidays and wait it in until TSA spring session. Summmer camps will have the registration numbers to host camps in sure.

So, are you close enough to get him into the Blackhawks FC in Houma?


I am pretty close to this organization. I'd say roughly 20 min drive to where they practice, host tournaments etc.. I've heard both positive and negative about the Blackhawks. From what I understand some of the more competitive teams have become highly political regarding on who plays on what team in a given age group. Again, as an outsider I have no first hand experience of this simply hearsay.

I regisrered the little guy for the BRSC outdoor camp and for now I believe we will be sticking with TSA until or IF any change is warranted. I personally know the director of HTSA so it wouldn't be hard to converse with him and discuss a transition.

Thanks again everyone for the input.
Thanks again everyone for all the feedback.

Currently he plays pretty much everyday @ school as they allow the like grade kids to play during recess and their P.E periods.

Using the back side of our house to kick against so for now that will serve as the "rebounder." :cheers: :cheers: to the the up coming WC.
I appreciate all the feedback.

Whatever camp is closer to the house to be honest


Looks like BRSC Winter Camp will have a TSA player in attendance.

Look forward to browsing the Soccer Board from now on..
Thanks folks. I completely agree with everything that was offered. Simply stated for someone who has literally zero soccer background my main interest is that he continues to enjoy the sport and is taught the fundamentals correctly. The BR camp promises Santa will make an appearance ??

The Thib league is very well ran and last I heard we have over 600 kids playing across the age groups.
First and foremost I am absolutely new to the board so if my post is out of line / wrong place please don't be shy.

It appears the board is heavily focused on the varying leagues on a global stage therefore my request many not be appropriate.

NOW--To my brief question/request for feedback. As a dad who never played soccer and up until recently hasn't had a great interest in soccer I am kind of lost. I have a son who plays U8 here in Thibodaux that has shown a great interest in playing (has played TSA for past 3yrs) and a want to play as much as he possibly can. So as anyone would do I hit the Google and started looking for camps and such.

I have read, even on this board there are many defined coaching curriculum varying clubs adopt. Long and short is this: The camps I've found available during his break are-- LA Fire Jr is hosting as camp as well as the Baton Rouge SC. They are both on the same days so we need to pick one.

I have absolutely NO idea or have any knowledge of either club. Any feedback as to what camp may have more value added would be tremendously appreciated. Thanks for reading.
Thanks everyone for the feedback. And for the one poster who mentioned hunting and fishing I meant no map intent by my comments. Simply meant I have no issue with spending money on quality good and would like to explore the option of custom shirts. I also agree with you that it's not the shirt or suit that makes the man.. However, getting the stuff made to fit leaves no error in it fitting poorly.
Thanks for all the help guys... I'll wait for the day crew..

Well unlike most OTers I don't hunt, fish or party lock a rock star. I spend $$ on multi sport and small production, higher quality clothing / shoes.

Shirts cost way less than a fancy rifle / optics or even more so a boat.

Luca Falcone Suits Experiences

Anyone willing to share any feedback on their experience with this shop. Located on Magazine they seem to be well respected in the NOLA community.

Looking to get a few shirts and possible a suit made. Willing to take any other suggestions for a custom shirt maker within 2hrs of Thibodaux. Although top notch, Martinez in BR would more than likely be out of my price range. Luca F. essential line is prices right around $125per which is around what I would be willing to spend.

TIA.
