In south Philthy, Pat's and Geno's are the popular choices and are landmarks. If you choose either, you will get what you are looking for.

We (or I should say I as I, am the one who gets to bathe her) can't stand her whining to go out to wait for the skunk. It's either listen to whining while trying to wind down from the hike or let her have her fun laying on the porch HOPING that she'll get a chance to be sprayed in the face. Nothing...

I have 2 goldens.

Skibo will eat anything he loves melon and shares my love for spicy food. He can gulp down jalapenos like candy.

Kykuit has a weaker stomach lemon poppyseed muffins are his favorite.

They both love to play ball with a fresh lemon. Freshens their breath also.

Bora Bora sounds like a good compromise between the adventure trip and the resort trip. I am sure you will be able to find some nice exploring on BB. Moorea is another area you may want to consider if you don't mind the BB flight time.

Things I don't like. 1. Live broadcasts, I really don't want to hear bar noise between songs. Just play the music. 2. The new DJ. 3. The lack of variety. 4.

When you consider the number of copies printed of these textbooks, they really are not as overpriced as they seem. Many of the NYT bestsellers are printed in the millions of copies and are priced over $20. I doubt if some of the college text books have over 100,000 printed. Proofreading is a lot mor...

Moorings is big down there. Sunsail is another. You can get a crewed yacht from them or go through an independent. Budget $1000/day for a crewed boat. I did BVI this spring had a great Canadian couple as crew. Great people. My preference is to book through an independent they generally own their boa...

Walk in. I think it is $50. I get them for free on occasion as a frequent flyer promo. It is a nice lounge in SJU. Quiet, comfortable, nice workspaces and better food than in the rest of the airport. It is back near gate 12 if I remember correctly.

I'll go along with the Breach of Contract argument. Unfortunately, there were no damages incurred by TM so there is nothing for them to recover.

I don't understand how you can illegally purchase tickets if they are for sale and you pay for them what is illegal. Using a bot to get through the security of the TM system doesn't seem illegal to me.

3 hours is a little tight. Considering the time to get through security and the round trip time that doesn't leave much time in OSJ. There isn't much in the San Juan airport either. The restruants are slow and the food is terrible. I had a one day pass for the Admirals Club on my last layover there....
