Love when Steelers fans leave Cincy sad too.

Rare occurrences, so you gotta celebrate those when you can.

* For as much as Austin has exploded, the fact there aren't any direct flights on any major carrier is absurd.

CVG. Delta.

Do the people on this thread with tattoos regret the way they look at all? Does it drive you crazy or do you just kind of go on with your day not worrying about? I'll understand if you can't respond until tonight when you get done with your shift on the loading docks.

Sorry for the delay, was conducting a presentation with a 10b financial firm...

...just got mine done in May, zero remorse. Trying to reconnect with the artist, who semi-retired shortly after, to fill out the design around the upper arm/shoulder. I'll keep you posted!

Staying at Bucuti & Tara, so we're hitting up Elements on-site the first day we're there.

Papiamento, Quinta del Carmen, Italy in the World, 2 Fools are already on the books. Open to a couple more to keep in our back pocket.

There is no f'ing way Italy in the World is better than Flying Fishbone. None.

United, Delta and American all fly to Aruba.

You gotta love this place..

Here’s where my family and I dined in this elite 5 ⭐️ Arubian restaurant establishment overlooking the Carrirbean. The food was awesome and the scenery overlooking the pristine water was beautiful.

GYERO CHIMES IN ..MEH. I MEAN THAT’S FINE BUT TRUST ME THERE’S MUCH BETTER.

It's a noted tourist trap place b/c of TOES IN THE SAND!!! -- Wayne's clueless smug ass deserves it.

-starting to get the new ride itch... looking at all sorts of sexy stuff*. 80% chance I'll puss out and buy another chevy pickup. It's like the scene in the jerk where Navin moves his folks into a "bigger better house", iykyk.

*would love an audi rs5 sportback maybe an AMG e53 or an X5 M.

^not particularly practical, but **** it... as Ricky bobby said I wanna go fast.

-2 kids in college is gonna put a damper on travel budget for a bit... maybe a Maine- New Brunswick/nova Scotia/pei trip will scratch the "something new" itch.

 

[B.B.d.K.]

I’d give anything to spend a week in Sunnyvale with Ricky, Bubs, and the gang.

- Napa in a couple weeks - very excited for a much needed vacation with my wife only. Vacation with the kids nowadays just seems like being a parent in another location without all your shit.

- Had to give up my “company car” that I was leasing through the business when I sold a chunk of it. Was a great perk of being a business owner to have a free car basically. Black top with white and black rims Range Rover Sport HSE. Was an absolute pussy magnet wasted on my 40 something ass with 3 kids. Drove like a dream but half the stuff wouldn’t work half the time. Wish I had it in my 20s. Just got a Genesis GV80 last week. Never heard of them but my cousin is an engineer for them so I got a 35% friends and family discount. It’s pretty nice I guess. I’m not really a car guy so I really don’t give that much of a shit.

-My wife has a work conference in Asheville in October at the Biltmore that we’re going to. They only had one room left with double beds. Asked them what was going on and they said “It’s the fall”. So I guess Anderson Cooper is doing well

-Baseball is awful

-School next Wednesday - will be a punch in the face getting the kids ready. Dreading it.

I stayed by that Italian place (Marriott). I'm sure the food is great. However, 1) I walked by that place almost every night and there were hardly any people there and 2) it's in downtown Oranjestad (a block off the main drag) which is kind of rundown.

IDGAF if the Flying Fishbone is a tourist trap or not. It's one of the most unique and beautiful restaurants I've ever been to. The fish is right off the boat. And they serve it various ways. I went with the rice, curry and seafood for $32. It was fantastic. Point is, you're on vacation in the Caribbean. I want scenery and fresh seafood. This covers both. But sure, go to the hole in the wall Italian place for some chicken parm. Up to you.

 

[Geese Feeder]

Up to me, actually.

We're there for 7 days at Aruba's top hotel (per TA) with a beach front /ocean view suite -- so if we not end up dining ON the water one of those evenings, I think we'll manage. Hell, I was even was able to book a flight and a rental car in the same day (thanks for the airline recs)

We hit up a similar OMGZ THE VIEW spot in Antigua last year, albeit no screaming kids, called Sheer Rocks. It was nice.

Your picture was dope tho.

 

[B.B.d.K.]

I mean, Wayne stayed in downtown Aruba with the cruise crowd vs Eagle or Palm Beach. Don’t need to know much else.

How were Senor Frogs & the straw markets?

 

[PTI (pti)]

It's amazing how many of those "they serve seafood right off the boat" places have a Sysco truck pulling in and out of the back door loading dock every 2-3 days.

 

[Kooky Kats]

… pretty much the O Charlie’s of the southern Carribean.

Pretty cool geyser out there close to Napa. Called the "little old faithful" or something like that. Goes off in regular intervals.

 

[bradyjames]

When we want FRESH seafood we head on over to the nearest Red Lobster!

I’m utterly amazed those dumps are still open.

 

[legalbeagle123]

Unlimited cheddar cheese biscuits. All that needs to be said.

 

[B.B.d.K.]

We actually went a few months back kinda as a funny excuse to get out of house one Sunday evening to bid a nostalgic farewell. I was also kinda curious after probably 20-25 years since my last visit.

It was incredible how awful it was, and I got the goddam ultimate lobster feast or whatever. Takes talent to make an abomination of butter soaked shellfish.

Bar area was closed & lights off. As were several main sections. Sad.

You’re dating your Aruba experience as Senior Frogs closed in 2016. But go ahead and start playing travel agent to Geese Feeder based on a trip you took 20 years ago:

 

[legalbeagle123]

So, On3 has JJ at 75% to UK and he has changed his decision date? Moreno deciding tomorrow. Is Pope about to make a splash?

We came upon a giftcard somehow 5-6 years ago. Was remarkable how bad it was.

 

[WynnDuffy]

The last time I ordered the ultimate lobster feast at red lobster, I did some yayo in the bathroom and ended up not eating a bite. I believe this was 2005.

 

[cut_itloosedoubledeuce]

A girl on my team in PHX picked red lobster a few months back for a group dinner. Also has gotten expensive as hell. I rolled with the 24oz draft beer, Caesar salad, and biscuits.
