"Rarely" isn't good enough to tell my wife

In that case I wouldn't tell her, tell her afterwards

So what did you think about the security at BOB?

[Hershelsdeals]

So what did you think about the security at BOB?

Elaborate, in what way?

I felt totally safe.

There was a women riding a bike with a Security T-shirt, but thats all i saw.

[Chapshnell]

Apparently there is none

Why do you need security? Terrorist or thefts can't afford to go there anyways.

I totally lost my desire for MLE, i was going to do MLE in the Winter, but after doing research for Hotels in MLE and comparing Properties , i totally lost my desire. besides premium cabins in MLE, i see no other advantage of MLE over BOB.

I don't need to travel to MLE to experience "Premium OWB" or "Premium Cabins".

What did you thought in the first place? Of course, when talking about OWBs you say BOB and MLE in one sentence, however, people who like to experience all kind of places like AJK etc want to experience both just for the hack of it, not because there is a major difference. So if you feel you belong in the AJK category there is no reason why your should totally loose your desire for MLE.

And I am sure that the same way you found BOB nicer because of the mountain in the pic, you can find some other pros for MLE as well, like AJK said before.

BTW, do they use sea planes in BOB?

I'm actually the type of guy who would want to experience both, I've been researching MLE way before i headed out to BOB and even while i was in BOB.

I'd definitely want to check out MLE one day, but after visiting BOB i lost my desire, as in, it dropped off my top 5 on my travel bucketlist.

No sea planes in BOB, and not every resort in MLE has them either.

My cooler with most of my POM meals got delayed to LAX . I had checked in 4 bags, only the cooler got delayed .

AA claims that it went out with the next AA flight and they will send it with the next air tahiti nui flight.

I had a 4 Hour connection in LAX, i ordered food from Nagila and had the food picked up and delivered to lax for $3.71 after a $20 off new account code.

The Uber driver picked up the food 5 minutes after the food was ordered and the ride took 39 minutes.

The walk between AA terminal 4 to TBIT was a easy 3 minute walk, but the security line was almost an hour of hell.

I departed with Air Tahiti Nui, J to PPT, which was nothing to brag about, KSML was edible, passport control and baggage claim was a breeze.

I took a 5 minute taxi ride to the IHG Tahiti, using a anniversary free night whuch i purchased from a fellow DDF member.

account user put in a request that i can checkin to the hotel, when i arrived, i gave my name, which they found, and checked me in, no questions asked.

Given that the account holder was a platinum member i was automatically upgraded to a lagoon view room.

My second cooler which contained kosher milk, yogurt and a couple of POM meals remained frozen solid nearly  24hrs out of the freezer.

Did you use the hotel freezer at the IHG PPT on your overnight?
Any issues?
What kind of currency did you pay the taxi in? I assume no shuttle?
