Re: Outstanding Balance in Switzerland. Should i pay?
I think that the Swiss have outstanding balances with enough Yidden that you can live without the guilt... It sure didn't bother them..

Re: Maldives trip planning
Going to the Maldives in June.. I noticed there isn't a thread dedicated to this so I figured worth starting one. To be 100% honest, I would wait to go the Maldives when you have someone to watch your 1 year old. I went with a 9 month old who didn't even walk and spent the entire time nervous as even the larger islands revolve around water. Transferring onto the boat was even scarier as we had to pass the baby from one another over a plank and had to hold onto her throughout the ride which was one of the scariest of my life. Its also a ton of flying which won't be fun even with a well behaved kid. I've been everywhere with my kids and I can say that the Maldives was the most difficult. Also, I think that Chuchem made a good point in the other thread. Be prepared to spend a lot of $$$. The costs keep adding up and even soda on the islands can cost $15 a can. If possible, wait until it can be done right. It'll be the trip of a lifetime. FYI, lots of the nicer resorts will negotiate with you, especially during low season. It pays to get the GM''s email and send a nice letter with an idea of what you want to spend. Of course don't mention the kosher part until later as once they know you aren't buying food, you are a much lower REV guest May 01, 2012, 09:55:39 AM |

Re: Maldives Master Thread
I'd wear a hat but a Yarmulke would probably be fine. It was built as a tourist attraction as much as a mosque and they are used to all types. The guided tours are fascinating. Was tipped off by another DDF'er and it was he highlight of my trip. July 09, 2012, 06:28:40 PM |

Re: Our crazy story from LGA-YYZ and back
Sorry for went you went through. You flew on a international flight with a kid arriving 90 minutes before the flight. This is to short, if you have ID issues. The same goes for boarding. Why wait until 2 minutes before cut off time, if you have a child and have a ticket with issues... Especially on the way back you should have known better and arrived earlier.... You sound like a gate agent for Swiss.... June 12, 2014, 09:28:41 AM |

Re: Upcoming SPG Hotels
Can't be. Because the W is being built by Daniel Libeskind. Oh ok, because the King David would be a perfect fit for the W brand November 10, 2014, 11:13:37 AM |

Re: AJK's Trip/Route Planning Thread
Not something worth killing yourself over IMHO. But if you decide to off yourself, make sure its at the St. Regis so at least you'll have a minyan at the Levaya October 27, 2016, 12:59:04 PM |
