re: Standalone Smart Watch for kids
Posted by CMATTE on 3/19/24 at 4:53 pm
Just went through this with our 9 year old son. We have all Apple devices and it made the most sense to get him an Apple Watch SE with cellular. We have Verizon and got the watch for free and service is $10 per month for a stand alone line. Works great and easy to use on the Family Share. ...

re: Bologna Italy in October
Posted by CMATTE on 1/13/24 at 9:20 pm
I go to Northern Italy every year for work and stay in Milan for about 10 days. Lake Como is very cool. Went to Bologna for the first time last year and I think one day is plenty. The best part was the food. Other than the food, this was the most interesting piece of art we found….
No clue what...

My wife and I (40) took our kids (7 and 14 at the time) to Belize summer of 2022. Stayed in Ambergris Caye and visited Caye Caulker via a full day fishing trip a couple of times.
We flew to Belize City then hopped on a 15 min flight in a small plane to Ambergris Caye.

re: The Savannah Bananas Ticket Lottery

I got 4 to Minute Maid through the lottery. We saw them last year in Sugar Land. Was actually pretty entertaining. 8 year old son loved it. We had a decent size group and emailed the organization beforehand that it was 1 kids birthday. They actually sent a couple of the players to our group with a d...

re: Pool Resurfacing: PebbleTec vs Pool Plaster (Quartzscape/Diamond Brite)
Posted by CMATTE on 11/2/23 at 5:39 pm
We have PebbleSheen, which is made by PebbleTec. Quite a bit smoother than Tec and it has held up very well over 5 years. Pool looks the exact same as the day it was installed. Was told it should last up to 20 years if we maintain correct pool chemistry. No complaints on my end. ...

Iberostar Hotel Grand Bavaro. Very nice resort and rooms, great beach and food. Low key nightly entertainment if you decide to do something a little different. Also have access to some other properties they can transport you to by golf cart. ...

Just went through the exact same problem. Did you run your pool for 24 hours after adding the yellow out and shock? Then then backwash and shock again?
I’ve learned that you can never backwash enough…....

Acura Integra. Just bought our daughter one and it comes standard with all the safety features you need. Leather, sunroof, etc… Out the door with TT&L for under $38K.
Also a better factory warranty than your standard 3 yr / 36K mile. ...

re: Branson worth the drive from LA?
Posted by CMATTE on 3/7/22 at 1:17 am
We drove from Houston to Branson this past year for the week after Christmas. It was just ok. Reminded me of Pigeon Forge. Very touristy.
Coolest place was Top of the Rock.
Silver Dollar City was ok but way overcrowded. Concession lines alone were 45 min to over an hour.
Stampede was Ok ...

re: Issues with Ford Sync
Posted by CMATTE on 1/14/22 at 12:16 pm
Have the same issue with my 2016. Apparently it is a common and known issue with an APIM module that needs to be replaced and reprogrammed. For some reason Ford refuses to issue a recall. There are several Ford forums that discuss the same problem. I had mine looked at Ford wanted around $1500 to f...
re: How does a US citizen obtain an EU covid certificate ?
Posted by CMATTE on 11/25/21 at 7:36 am
Was recently in Milan for a week and a CDC vaccination card was worthless (besides being required to enter the country).
You have to show a Green Pass to dine indoors, go to museums, concerts, etc….
To obtain a Green Pass you have to:
1. Be fully vaccinated but the US CDC card did not al...

Nintendo Switch or X Box for 6 year old?
Posted by CMATTE on 11/12/21 at 12:53 pm
My 6 year old son wants a Nintendo Switch. I started researching and realized it’s basically the same console that came out in 2017. Should I just go ahead and spend $350 on a 5 year old system? I hate to do that then they release a new one next year.
Other option would be a X Box S.
Any su...
