Today I caught an uber ride from downtown Houston to Westchase, about a 20 minute ride. I get in and the driver is listening to a motivational speaker, which was weird. It got really strange when the same 5 minute speech played on a loop 3 more times during that ride. My favorite piece of the speech was "unleash the beast inside of you".

90% of the uber drivers are pretty good, but there's always a few outliers.

Whatchya got?

We are going for 8-10 nights.

For Maui:
Where did you stay? What were the best activities? Best food experiences?

We are planning to go to Hawaii next June or July. My wife, 2 kids (15 & 13), and myself.

1. Debating which island - Big Island or Maui (or maybe I can be convinced to go to another one)

2. Best place to stay? - we would like something oceanfront, with access to beaches/snorkeling, with a full kitchen - staying for around 10 days.

I would appreciate any advice as I have never been to Hawaii. Thanks in advance to the TB and thanks to Chicken for creating this board so I don't have to deal with the OT cesspool anymore.

There is a fairly new MTA bus service that picks up at all terminals.

Buy your subway/bus passes at the kiosk, get on the Q70 bus, get off at the Roosevelt subway station, take whichever train from there into Manhattan.

It's probably faster and basically free if you'll be using the subway all week anyway. I hate taking cars in NYC - underground is almost always faster.

Anyone else notice this? Also, I'm just learning that he is the son of Kim Mulkey and that Herman Johnson is the largest baby ever born in Louisiana.

For Girl and the Goat, did you check Open Table or did you actually call the restaurant? I'm going there next month when the in laws come to town, open table told me they were booked solid, but when I called they were able to get me in at 630 on a Friday night.

Thanks for that recommendation. I will try calling. Thanks for all of the other insight.

Family going to Chicago in early June. 13/11 year old kids. Looking for good restaurant recommendations and other activities.

Any help appreciated and thanks.

P.S. Huge thanks to Chicken for creating this board. The O-T sucks for questions like this.

What say ye? Trim the fat cap or not? Fat cap up or down?

I'll hang up and listen...

Yo momma stinks so bad...she put Secret deodorant on, and it told on her.
