I did a somewhat similar honeymoon but I'm coming up on 20 years. We did Munich for Oktoberfest to Venice, and back. With stops along the way.

I would HIGHLY recommend doing Rome first here. Its the least relaxing BY FAR.

Or my suggestion was going to be to hit up Rome for a couple of days, and finish in Florence. But Florence has a good 1.5-2 days of stuff you'd want to do.

I'll also suggest a stop somewhere outside of the major metro's in Italy. Its nice to get outside of the busy tourist areas.

Those three places are pricey yes, but two of them are only expensive because of tourism. Italy in general is not expensive.

Sounds like a great trip though!

ETA; HIGHLY recommend more than 7 days. You need 2-3 days to just RELAX. Have basically 0 plans but sleep in late (because you stayed up late...), walk around, just be together. Explore something random just because you have the time.

Why are you spending extra to get 2 Variable units both 19 SEER? Im certainly not an HVAC expert and maybe you just have money to blow, but you are here asking for help.

I helped someone replace a Carrier 4 ton 15 seer for their beach condo on 30A last fall for $7700. I chose a company out of Panama City, the 30A companies both wanted $9k+. The only reason I bring up the location is because I doubt many areas in the south get more expensive for HVAC labor work than 30A.

My main point is 1 variable makes a lot of sense, I'm not sure 2 variable 19 seer make a lot of sense. Especially since generally speaking most people in a house this big aren't going to use one unit nearly as often as the other.

You need to figure out disposal first. Because it can be literally 50% or more of the cost for someone that doesn't have options.

As said, breaking up the concrete is one thing. Then you have to rip it up, carry it to a truck or trailer, take the truck/ trailer somewhere, then dispose of it which includes unloading and moving it again.

I'm not all for hiring someone, but sometimes its literally cheaper to hire someone than renting equipment and disposal.

3 ton. Rheem 19 SEER Variable. 14 supply (metal) ducts on this unit. 2 return air sources.

4 ton. Rheem 19 SEER Variable. 19 supply (metal) ducts on this unit, long lineset (over 50 ft), hood vent, make-up air.

Both are gas fired heating and cooling system.

Is this new construction or remodel? Huge difference here?

Why are you not getting quotes either way? When are you getting it done? If its a remodel wait until late fall/ early winter. It'll be cheaper. Its 92* out today they are still very busy.

Get at least 5 quotes, if anything you'll probably learn something especially if its a remodel. Learn something as in, a better way to do something.

What is your medical background that gives you the ability to be such a judgemental PPP expert?

Multiple professionals in the case said it wasn’t. If you are such a professional, then I’d assume you’d have looked at the case and the fact that she only claimed psychosis the day she killed her kids. That’s why the doctors in the case said it was unlikely.

A little early for this? Does squirrel season open further north earlier?

I am one of those people who tends to err on the side of caution because a trip that involves a flight (especially an international flight) is typically a sizable financial expenditure that could be costly and/or very frustrating if unforeseen circumstances frick it up.

ATL is my home airport and has been for years, and I still arrive 3-4 hours early in spite of not even checking luggage and always having reserved parking. I like to have enough time to handle one unexpected problem (wreck on the interstate, security lines are long for some reason, etc.) without jeopardizing my flight.

Yep I agree. Especially for a vacation. There's nothing worse than starting off vacation fighting with your spouse on time, packing, etc because you tried to cut your airport arrival, layover, etc. too tight.

Now, going back home, may as well get back in the groove...

Staying in Cody

Assuming you are doing this due to price or family? You need to consider gas prices and your time. Cody to Mammoth Hot springs is 3 hours or the lamar valley is 2 hours. The west side of Yellowstone kinda sucks, most of the stuff is in the middle or the north.

I don't know what your plans are and this is doable, but its like someone saying they are staying in Baton Rouge but visiting NOLA for the weekend. It doesn't make a lot of sense.

I've done GTNP trips twice and gone to yellowstone for the day, basically doing 2 huge loops both days. But we are talking waking at 5am and getting home at 10pm days. You wouldn't want to do that 2-3 days in a row is my point.

You shouldn't take from retirement unless its an emergency, and this certainly is not an emergency. They need to wake up and pay this shite off. If they are making $225k with $80k in student loans and $10k consumer debt or whatever it is, they are idiots.

They need to stop trying to keep up with the Jones', sell a car, buy a beater, and pay off their debt. One of them can get a new car when they are debt free as a reward. Put it on loan, I don't care.

But until people hit the bottom of the barrel they will never learn financially. They will blow through their retirement, and be financially in bad shape for the rest of their lives including needing to work until they are 70+.
