Triangle X ranch outside of Jackson has been around forever. I hunt with them every few years, but have stayed with them before as well. Top notch location and operation. The Turner family has been doing it a long long time....

I only spent one day in San Juan before heading west, but my wife and I still talk about our dinner at Marmalade in Old San Juan. It's a 5-course menu. Opt for wine pairing with it. Have a drink before at the bar. The global warming drink was something I still try to re-create....

Bought a house in April from somebody who chained smoked in their house. Took a lot of work and money to get the smell out, but we got it done. I think the smell turned enough people off we were able to get the house a little cheaper than we should of....
Exuma would be the best boat jumping but check out Long Island as well. Tiny's Hurricane Hole is the spot on Long Island. Michelle, the owner, will be able to hook you up with a local to rent their boat. They have a protected dock to tie up to....

To do what? I live in Point Pleasant and it's a great chill surfing/fishing beach town. Especially between labor day and winter when all the fests are going on and beach vacationers are gone...
Due to federal and state incentives. 7500 fed tax credit (so not technically out the door I had to wait 4 months to get credit) and 4000 from NJ that was off the sticker. I agree with you on the larger scale of the initiative not being sustainable. I saw an opportunity to get a basically free car...
100%. EV's work for some, not nearly all....
I have a Model 3 that I walked out the door for 28,000. My work allows me to charge and I commute an hour each way on the highway. The financing cost for the 28,000 is cheaper than gas to do the commute in my f150. So I get a Tesla for the cost of insurance in my case. My decision was purely fin...
1259 miles from Slidell to where I now live in NJ...
Volt. Buy a basic kit from costco and expand as needed....
Wife wants a third, so I welcome the strikes from my 3 and 1 year old. Let's stop this plan....

Hog Penny is about the best place in "downtown". Low key, talk to the bartenders for other recs. A lot of places turn into clubs at night so wasn't my thing. If you need wheels, rent a Bermi from localmotion. Great vehicles to jump around. Walk through horseshow bay beach and relax just a walk ...
It has great insurance coverage for rental cars as well. Combine that with priority pass and it's staying in my wallet....
We did our honeymoon split 50/50 rainforest and island in Belize and I would 100 percent do it again. We flew into Belize City and caught a small single engine plane down to Punta Gorda (very south of Belize) where Copal Tree Lodge picked us up in a land cruiser and brought us to resort. Middle of...

Jump on the tube (not the rip off heathrow express) and will take your downtown very easily. Allow 45 minutes each way. British museum (free)/pubs/whatever. ...
Are you confusing penn station with reading terminal market? Or did they add a dinics to penn station without me seeing lol...
As others have mentioned, skip the rental car. Take airport train to 30th street station. When ready to do NYC, take Amtrak from 30th to penn station and back. Easy trip. If you are dead set on renting a car, consider driving to Atlantic highlands, NJ (about hour and half from Philly) and taki...
