Tulane receiving one vote after a CFP appearance. :banghead:

No, you will always receive a 1099-G and the bank may also make a bank secrecy act notification for transactions above $10,000

There’s a Hilton in the Munich airport that is excellent.
Otherwise, the Platzl, the Charles, Rosewood, Vier Jahrezeit, Bayerischer Hof and Sofitel are all good and downtown.
Airport is 30-40 minutes from downtown.
I’ve stayed at a Days Inn in Aiken for like $500/night and it was awful.

One year 5 of us split a basement room (no windows) at the Partridge Inn in Augusta and it was amazing. The bar is a scene with tons of PGA players and super hot rich east coast chicks. 10/10 the way to do it.
I'm United Global Services. When I fly out of MSY, my upgrade rate is probably 75% +. When I fly out of IAH, probably 33% at best.

There are lots of fishing charters on the Great Lakes -- just a quick google shows a bunch departing out of Mackinaw City, and I bet you could meet them on the Island.

Golf, Arch Rock, bike around the island, hike up to the Fort, and hang out downtown is about all there is to do there.

Note about the Grand: there is a cover charge just to enter the grounds.
Civil Service rules in New Orleans ensure that the worst, least qualified people remain there forever. They cannot be fired, especially because they are black. The closest thing to communism that we have in the state.

Come to Germany and you will find most prefer paying with bar. There's an ice cream shop in our mall that doesn't accept cards. Still many taxis that don't accept cards.


Still see a lot of Nur Bargeld places, but more and more I've seen Keine Bargeld / Nur Kartenzahlung. Crazy.
Shinobi arcade game and Book-It free pizzas. Take me back!
Map this out on trains, but I think you could do 21 days on this. I would minimize time in Zurich (sort of boring) but the rest of the cities are pretty awesome.

Zurich to Zillertal region.
Zillertal to Lake Como or Gardasee in northern Italy.
Como/Riva del Garda to Innsbruck, use that as base for exploring Alpine villages like Kitzbuhel.
Innsbruck to Salzburg
Salzburg to Munich
Explore southern Bavaria from Munich including Fuessen (Neuschwantstain), Kempten, Herreninsel / Fraueninsel on the Chiemsee, rollerbahn on the Schliersee, Berchtesgaden/Eagle's Nest, etc.
Munich to Nuremberg for WWII history and old town
Nuremberg to Leipzig
Leipzig to Berlin

Take a boat tour (not gondola)
A gentleman never forgets his vaparetto stop.
Listen to the Dr. Death podcast about Christopher Dunch. Terrifying.

The sad thing about the coliseum is that once you've walked up to Tiger Stadium, with very similar architecture, it's... so small.


Only on this board would someone compare the Colosseum unfavorably to Tiger Stadium. LSU fans...wow.

Cole Hahn Oxfords or similar can dress up or down and are comfy.

Wasn’t she a cop, or maybe dated a cop? What was her name again? Leslie ?


YES! Great memory. I think she was working at the new Bruno's for a while too.
