Keep checking their corporate rates or special offers in low season. You can sometimes get very nice hotels at reasonable rates that will not get you on the naughty list with your Manager or audit team.

Regardless of firm, I think most clients will take the view that you can stay there when it’s your own damn money you’re spending

Depends on project. On one project, I commuted 30 min to client site just because partner wanted us all to stay in st. Regis instead of the aloft right next to client

I was staying in an area where I drove a bit further but it was cheaper to stay at the Ritz than a Courtyard close to the client so that’s where the team stayed. We still didn’t flaunt it because of the perception of staying at a high end hotel.

Most of the time we decide on convenience but on one particularly rough project I had my team stay at the St Regis Monarch Bay so they could enjoy the Pacific Ocean in the distance while we worked all the hours...

My wife got a job that requires us to relocate to San Diego. We have never lived there and know little about the city. We are planning to rent. We stayed in a hotel in little Italy and really loved the vibe there, but it’s too expensive for us. Are there other neighborhoods with similar vibes - restaurants, bars, lively, good for walking, clean, safe, young, diverse and accessible that are more affordable? Please share recommendations. How much should we reasonably budget to rent a 2bd/2bath?

Hey y’all. Would love to get some thoughts from people about buying vintage watches and what resources you might use to evaluate a piece before you buy.

I’ve only ever bought new watches but am in love with some vintage pieces. I’m not really sure where to start with resources to do my due diligence and ensure I’m not massively over paying or buying something that no watch maker today could really service.

Would love some thoughts from the bowl on any vintage buys y’all have done.

Thanks!
