Oh, I like mine, but I also like relentlessly tormenting the Ferret, and he told me one time he thought they were an old person car, so...

Aren't they? I'm almost 72 and I wouldn't be caught in one. I like mine better.

Why are you selling the car? Are you moving to the States and plan on buying an American car?

Oh, (somewhat unrelated) but since we're talking about cars --

There was a news story this morning about some teens who decided to steal two, new Lamborghini's from a dealership in my state. Around 3 AM this morning, they broke into the showroom and drove off in two of them. Because the morons couldn't drive, the car in the back rear-ended the one in the front at an intersection stop. Cops caught 3 of them, but a 4th idiot is still at large. So there you have it -- two Lambos in a crash. Dealer's sticker price on EACH car: $200,000!

We bought a small 4x4 before Christmas.

My daughter works here. She is on Drive Thru right now. She said the Shamrock Shake tastes like pistachio. Minty or whatever.

ocean view with a jacuzzi on the balcony

I think a trampoline up there would be a nice touch, too.

Hotel #2

Pros-

• Concierge section, “resort within a resort”, with it’s check in/out, lounge, restaurant, beach section.
-Butler and concierge with the room.

•Includes top shelf liquor and green fees, also includes one adult & child golf lesson together.

• several restaurants, activities, sports, water sports. (Both resorts are equal here)

• Larger suites with better view, larger balcony jacuzzi on balcony



Cons-

•Outside of the concierge area the resort is HUGE.

•Is not ranked as highly as Hotel #1 on Forbes and Oyster 2020 travel lists.

•Not loving the decor and design,

There’s not too many to choose from for what I’m looking for..not with a kid. The one I booked last year checks every single box...but is a 15 minutes walk from room to beach, which I just don’t think makes sense for us. So I think the 2 above are our best bet if we choose the all inclusive over a cruise.

Oh I should add that both resorts are within a similar range price wise.

Club Med Punta Cana would be perfect, but out of my budget range.

Not for another 40 years.

Aren't you like 100 though?

That's a tough choice. The shared golf lesson, grounds to explore, sounding a bit kid friendlier and a few other items puts #2 just a smidge ahead in my book. Ratings give a general feel for a resort but never tell the whole story. Pics can also never tell the entire story either. Lighting can make a huge difference
