Mexico, the Caribbean, New Zealand, all sorts of options. All better than dealing with the worlds worst tourists in Hawaii.

"One thing I noticed when I'm traveling anywhere is that American tourists all seem to shop at the same clothing store, ugly ass tourists dot com; That or Ed Hardouchebags. If you're one of those people who owns a Planet Hollywood, Rome t-shirt, that might say more about you than you're willing to admit. Same goes for you people who fly all the way to Tokyo to eat at the Hard Rock..."

Hey asshole, I've eaten at the Hard Rock in Tokyo. Long story, I'll share later.

Technically that was from Anthony Bourdain's speaking event on Monday, not from me Haven't been out of the country save for a few roadtrips to Meh-he-ko but I can see where he's coming from.

Either way it isn't the American tourists that are bad in Hawaii, but the Japanese. They outnumber the Americans 2-3 to 1 as well. Ugh.

Don't hate!

Could have sworn the bail out money for GM was paid back with other borrowed money. No way in the world a failing mega-corp can repay billions that fast in a decreasing market and recession.

GM paid back the government bailout loan in April

The US government still has ~2 billion USD in preferred shares and ~50 billion USD in common equity invested in GM so they need the GM IPO to raise at least that much if they want to see any ROI. Barofsky is simply stating the break even point for the IPO is $133.78.

You don't honestly believe this do you.

Cancun is pretty safe, and absolutely gorgeous.

saw a thing on the history channel about cruise ships and I threw up in my mouth a little

honestly who the fuck would want to go on a fucking cruise

Some of the best family vacations I have had have been on a cruise. I try and take the family on a cruise every year. Believe it or not if you know how to book they are very inexpensive.

Do tell the secrets!

I became good friends with a booking agent for Carnival, she advises me baised on how many cabins I am booking. Sometimes during the low season you can get below cost bookings which is my favorite time to go. Less kids running around misbehaving and acting like idiots.

The gf and I just popped up an idea to go to Hawaii sometime, neither of us have been. Looked it up and the offseason (I think it said september-early december) actually has the best weather. Most people go when the weather is the most rainy- during the winter. Deals are so much better in the offseason. We thought of going on a cruise before. She has been on a couple and really liked them, I've never been on one. But there are different cruises, not every one schedules everything for you.

Don't. So MANY better places than Hawaii. Way too spendy for what it is.

Suggestions?

Goals?

Oh.....fun in the sun on a beach? Mountains to hike would be nice.

Make sure you check out the Windward islands. The mountains are georgeous.

That really doesn't pertain to places that he described he'd like. The country isn't as small as you think.

oh really. what's your opinion on them sean?

they list these specs.

High performance cables that don't break the bank

Supports resolutions up to 1600p, refresh rates up to 240 Hz, and 48-bit Deep Color

CL3-rated jacket for permanent in-wall installations

ATC certified HDMI v1.3b Category 2 for speeds up to 340 MHz (10.2 Gbps)

HDCP compliant and also supports Lip Sync audio/video synchronization

that should be plenty for my pioneer receiver to my tv correct?

[///M5 2,833]

Any modern HDMI cable will be fine. Who cares about the $.60 extra

Speaking of headphones, here's some random graphs that I have no idea how to interpret
