My Land Cruiser is 20 years old and has about 240,000 miles. Other than regular service, a new alternator at about 200k, and a timing belt, I haven’t had to do anything. It’s been perfectly reliable and the drivetrain is as smooth as a new car.

I had a friend that went to a resort in the BVIs that gave their guests access to small Boston Whaler type boats to personally use. However, this resort has since closed (hopefully not for liability reasons from giving everyone a boat)

---

That was probably Biras Creek.

Currently, your best bet is probably Bitter End Yacht Club, which have Whalers for use: BEYC

If I were planning a honeymoon in the Virgin Islands, though, I'd strongly consider Peter Island (BVI) or Caneel Bay on St. John (USVI).

About as far from it as possible, but perhaps we are just naturally blessed.

We were definitely in Three Putt's shoes before the kiddo arrived (and #2 is on the way). But of of course we had a lot more disposable income then too. :wah:

Wife, 1 4-year-old, and myself.

$600/month on groceries
$1400/month on eating out

So about $2000/month on food. :banghead:

How on earth do y'all spend so little eating out? We don't do it big or anything remotely close, but every meal with 3 of us seems like it is at least $50-60.

FT33 in Trinity Groves is one of the top restaurants in Dallas.

To clarify, FT33 is not in Trinity Groves; it's in the design district, which is even closer to Market Center. But I agree that it's one of the top restaurants in Dallas. Uchi is another fantastic option not too far away.

Just sold my house FSBO, although I used a flat-fee listing service to get it on MLS. 80% of the agents that showed it thought I was using a seller's agent and didn't even know that you could get on MLS without one. Also, when I listed on MLS I had to sign an agreement disclosing what I would pay a buyer's agent. I went full 3%.

Had 25 showings in the first two weeks. I could possibly have gotten more money with a seller's agent, but not nearly enough more to justify the commission.

That's a very interesting option. Looks like their "Green Room" seats up to 70.

Did the wedding have a band setup? I wonder if there's space for that.

Any good recommendations for Garden District or French Quarter venues to host a small (60-80 person) wedding and reception? I know there are hundreds in NOLA, but looking for good personal experiences. We are currently vetting the downtown hotels (i.e., the Roosevelt, Ritz, and Windsor Court), but I want to make sure we don't miss any gems in other parts of town.

P.S. - Posting this on the food board because the level of taste and judgment here is, well, higher than the OT. Plus, the quality of food is a huge factor in the decision.

I suggest you do some research regarding copyright law.
