Chuck was a bad man. 13 kills over Europe, Ace in day, broke the sound barrier. Test piloted the fastest jets in the world for a decade.

I just figured since it's 40 years old maybe not everyone here saw it.
It was one of the first DVDs I bought, back before dual layer. You had to flip the daym diskDesertbreh wrote: ↑Thu Sep 28, 2023 6:12 pm

Great (long-ish) movie based on a book of the same name basically about Yeager and the birth of the US space program in the late 40's/50's. Really fun movie if you're into that sort of thing. As Dirk mentioned, Yeager was such a total badass.
Im right there with you. Im looking into a hybrid job of sorts. Or even a 9-5 with a longer PTO (ie 3 weeks minimum) and occassionally be able to work at "home" aka actually in Erdoganland.
Theres lot of options outside of it, I only stayed with that certain milestone occasion. But yeah, the hotel was fully booked and clearly there are people willing to id personally would not though. Even for that milestone i would not spend $1,200 a night for one, thats insanity for a marriott other than maybe ritz carlton or a large resort. But im not willing to go that high.
Luxury resorts like Ritz is now a mid 4 figure proposition frequently. It is kind of insane...MexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Mon Oct 02, 2023 10:34 pmTheres lot of options outside of it, I only stayed with that certain milestone occasion.

Also we spent almost the whole day, so there is that. Traffic is just gridlock post closing that id probably make it to her friends hotel in half the time on a skateboard.
I was also told it used to be priced less than $200, so hotels are not as cheaper as it used to be.
I remember when we used to stay in low service, extended stays in south carolina and the like on a roadtrip, i recall them being $50. And now i only get that with my marriott employee discount for thosemax225 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 03, 2023 11:49 amLuxury resorts like Ritz is now a mid 4 figure proposition frequently.

Cheaper hotels like a Hyatt house/or "inns" went from 80>>>200-300
Value nice hotels like a Hyatt Regency went from 150-200>>>350-500
Nice hotels like Park/Hyatt went from 350-500>>>> 750-1500 a night
Luxury hotels like Ritz/4 seasons/Fairmont went from 400-600 to 1000-2500 a night which is frankly INSANE.
