Since you are staying at the Luxor, you will be on the far end of the strip. If you don't have a car, get a tram pass for 3 days, the closest stop is at the MGM. I think it is $40 for a 3-day pass. Taxis will add up quickly. $10 to Bally's (which is the approx 1/2 way point on the strip. The tram ru...

Do whatever is necessary to avoid PMI. You do not build equitity very fast in the first 5 years of the mortgage payment, in addition, housing prices are not increasing like they were 2 years ago. PMI while sometimes necessary is an anchor you really don't want if you can avoid it.

1. First kiss? Maryanne (don't remember last name) 2. Scuba diving or skydiving? Both 3. Careful as you cross the street or never look both ways? look to see what might hit me. 4. Ketchup: a vegetable? Not even food. Don't use it. Bar-b-que sauce is substitute. 5. Underwear - optional? Very optional.

Windjammer is definately a much better option than the big cruise ships, but for the ultimate adventure, charter a crewed yacht. The Moorings is probably the most economical choice. Wife and I sail BVI every 3-4 years. It is the greatest, your schedule, your itenerary, the chef on board is world cla...

It does, however, become difficult to maintain a civilian career when you're pulled away for a year or two every few years.... This is what concerns me most. Not only do the call ups slow career development, but employers may start to not hire reservists for key positions with the concern that they...

I really don't think any reservist ever believed they would be serving in combat or away from home like they have been. I personally do not like how the reservists have been used for this conflict and really believe this is a bad idea. We are really taking advantage of these people.

AI would be my choice. Those cruise ships are so big. At the AI, you always have a beach. You still have the opportunity to site see and shop. Plus you will be more on your schedule not the ships.

You have to understand. the city ordinance never considered the size and scope of the bestest and largest home in the county. Anything smaller would just be totally out of proportion with the rest of the house. He deserves to be issued a variance. He probably never filed for one, but he IS donald tr...

It really all depends on your budget and what you want to do. All inclusives are nice. The large chain all inclusives are too big to be real bad. Check out Club Med if that is what you are looking for they have some nice properties in the carribbean.

Is there an airport in JVD, BVI? thanks Got to fly into beef island. Really there isn't much to JVD. It is more of a stop over for the cruisers. I couldn't imagine spending more than a day at this stop. BVI for the most part are best viewed from a boat. Stayed at Cane Garden bay once for a week and...

I think it is hilarious that there is no middle ground and that the opinions are split even across political parties. The bashing of both on Conservative/liberal and alternative lifestyle(gay) talk stations is evenly split and very funny. It is refreshing that these two have diverted attentions away...

I hear you need defense to win in the playoffs, Chicago has that. If they only had a quarterback I would pick Chicago. I have to pick Seattle just because the Chicago offense is so bad. I know their record and all but until Rexy shows anything, I can't pick him in an important game.
