My family went a few weeks ago. We stayed in Wailea at the Fairmont. I highly recommend the Fairmont. Fairmont, Andaz, Grand Wailea et al except for the Four Seasons are all about $1k/night. With kids, having 800sqft instead of 400 for a regular room was game changer. Grand Wailea gets a lot of conf...

Be sure to check to see if the flight you’re scheduled to be on is overbooked. You don’t want to leave free money at the airport...
My friend did within the last two years. They assigned him a place in a small city that’s nice but not desirable as a tourist. He had someone check in on him frequently to make sure he was still there (requirement for the program). He was told by his neighbor that once they stop checking, they’ll ne...

Stay in Oia in a place with a private pool and view. Settle into cocktails as the loads of cruise ship people use their sharp elbows to push each other around as you watch in the comfort of your private balcony. Laugh at the line of people waiting to take Instagram pics by the blue dome. It gets ver...
I hope the LC will take the 4Runners place and the new 4Runner will be a removable top/cap Tacoma like gen 1. One certainly is the GX will have a crazy high ADM. Considering a new Tacoma Offroad is pushing $60k, the T4R will be $60k. The LC will be upmarket from that and the GX will be much more...

Da Crack burrito stand. Tuna burrito… yes please. There’s a fish house that I can’t remember the name that had smoked marlin which was amazing. One of the big zip lining places over an old plantation was a waste of time. Boat ride to Napali coast was awesome (we went in Jan so water was insanely rou...

Old boots are 100, new boots 130. Old boots had 150+ days maybe which isn’t a lot but they were fairly basic so the quality wasn’t great. They started getting squishy about 120 days or so. A new liner might have fixed them and I may still go that route to have a pair for easy resort days. They were ...

The new boots were a moderate success. I instantly knew when I clicked into my skis it was going to be a different experience. The boots require a ton of input to drive them. Theres no casual skiing with them on. I don’t like skiing hard pack and always thought my skis just didn’t have a good edge. ...

I finally was forced to get new boots. I walked into the shop with an open mind and open to anything besides K2 BOAs. After trying on a few different pair, I walked out with the K2 Mindbender 130 BOAs. Heading up today for a few break in days. The boots are very nice and fit well out of the box. My ...

Take Me to the Top and Red Hot are two of my favorite Crue songs. As I’ve gotten older, the more I realized my favorite band simply became a product of their time. However, those first two album were great. ...

[quote]Kind of surprised that the new Lexus LX isn't a bigger seller. I've only seen a handful in the wild.[/quote] The LX had a huge waitlist. I’ve heard that many of those deposits were shifted to the GX. Most LXs are spec’d at a $108k MSRP. The Overtrail+ GX will have a significant ADM for a ...

I don’t think much will change. Parking is their main limiting factor. Maybe they’ll do a reservation system for Ikon base pass. I think that’s where we are going to end up anyway. I imagine variable pricing based upon a home mountain and limiting factors like a reservation and limited days at other...

My sales guy was super helpful. He moved the mouse around on the computers antique inventory software to show me the list of upcoming inventory. He then said we have what you want in stock except it’s silver. He then pointed over his shoulder to show me the car, sure as hell, it was silver. His wond...
