The no conversions is not surprising. I’m not eligible for any public offers. Chase is 5/24. I’ll never be able to get a chase card in a million years. 

Amex? Well. One per lifetime offer. So I can only get a targeted or a referral that does t have the lifetime language. Citi? Well, I did the AA mailers and my account is locked like everyone else since I wasn’t going to wait 24 months to get an AA card. Barclays also has some sort of limit like chase. I think BofA does as well. Really doesn’t leave me with other cards to get, let alone through a link from you.]]></description>

I dont do reviews like all the other bloggers do.

Email me what you need to know specifically.

I think 3 nights are great. After that the place may get boring along with the food.

Rooms in higher floors are better. But they are all nice.

Pools are awesome. Beach is great but must be REALLY careful the sea can pull you in....I almost drowned lol.

Several restaurants, I thought the best was the Mexican one. And the one by the pool is pretty good. The buffet one is fine because of the selection...but it will get over it first. The Asian is interesting, it is not bad. They have a reservation thingie for the dinner they cook in front of you, it is kind of fun and food is pretty good. The coffee shop is awesome, great coffees and all kinds of pastries and ice creams there.

There is a show in the main lobby, kind of cheesy but hey it is free. 

I did not drink much at all. But you can drink a lot there. 

They have a schedule of activities and playing volleyball in the pool with others is fun. 

The fitness area is great! HUGE! And there is a small infinity pool right in front of it which I thought was awesome, never crowded. 

Service is good. But they try to upsell you a lot. Got some Discoverist bennies like late checkut and waters etc.

Wifi works great.

Hope this helps. 

I gained 10 lbs lol]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[To my friend SwiftBoater:

What was stated about the Iranian money is FACTS. I know you guys have issues with them. 

At the end of the day, we believe what we are going to believe.

And you did not stop, you continued with more non sense.

&quot;you start defending Iran or the previous Adminstration for that massive screw up&quot;

Come on man, I thought you were a serious guy...you start sounding like Doug Collins!

Sad!]]></description>

The agreement reached by Iran, the United States and a number of other nations to constrain Tehran’s nuclear program did not directly provide American money to Iran, but it did release about $100 billion in previously frozen Iranian assets. Much of the amount was tied up by debt obligations, for example, $20 billion to China for financing projects in Iran. Estimates for the actual amount available to Iran range from $35 billion to $65 billion.

A separate $1.7 billion transfer of cash to Iran was to settle a decades-long dispute and was agreed to in negotiations that happened parallel to the nuclear deal. Before the 1979 revolution, Iran’s shah had paid $400 million for American military goods but, after he was overthrown, the equipment was never delivered. The clerics who seized control demanded the money back, but the United States refused. The additional $1.3 billion is interest accumulated over 35 years.]]></description>
