Be careful about tryout times. Plan a bit to make sure you can get to the tryouts that you are interested in.
Expect pressure on the first day to "accept" a position if offered. You do not have to do that. Look at the clubs you are interested in.
What should you be looking for?
1. A situation that works for your family in terms of cost and time commitment. Take into account time to and from practices and what will you be doing while the practice is going on. Can you carpool? Ask about actual cost. Club fees are usually easy to find out, but what additional costs are there if they are not part of the fees? How many tournaments and where? At the younger ages tournaments are usually local, but make sure you know what the plans are. I am sure there are clubs out there that are planning on younger teams do 3 or 4 over night tournaments. A word of experience -- tournaments are usually fun for the kid playing, but can quickly get old for parents and siblings.
2. A coach that seems good for your kid. Winning = not important. Making every player better = important. Talk to parents of current players if you can - not just the team manager parent. Does everyone play in every game? If NO -- Big red light.
3. As small a roster as you can find. Taking a big roster means less playing time for everyone. I would much prefer a situation where a club has say 3 teams with 9 kids on the roster than 2 teams with 14. Do not worry too much about being on a "B" team at a young age. Rosters can be fluid and kids progress at very different rates. What matters way more than anything else for a positive experience is having a coach who is focused on improving the kids as players.
Great advice!

It makes me feel patronized and kind of gaslighted. But I also don't want him to say "You're right, you are hideous!" So you are walking a fine line.
What I recommend: Tell her "Let me take a really close look." Have her sit down and turn on a bright light and scrutinize her face carefully for at least a full minute. Then say "Honey, I have to tell you, I think you are looking really good here." She will feel that you have made an actual appraisal and given her feedback. She may come back and say "But what about my crow's feet!!" Then you can say "Let me look again." Look at the crow's feet for another minute. Come back and say "This looks very faint to me, really not something you want to mess with." Continue to scrutinize, minimize.
THIS IS GOLD.
I have similar insecurities and I would love this-- actually, my DH does something like this and it's totally believable AND...
It has the effect of not really deterring me from a little potential Botox if I feel like it and YET... It pulls me off the ledge of feeling like A) I look hideous now and B) my husband thinks I could use a "touch up."
Yup, exactly the way to handle this.

This is the wisest course of action
Thanks for the tips, all of you!
Virgin Mobile - they use the Sprint towers. They slow your internet after a certain amount of data per month.
I just ended a 2 year promotional plan. They wanted to jack it up a bunch, but I talked to CS and it ended up going up ~$15 a month, so I kept it.
The internet FIOS is so much better and more reliable than Comcast, it is well worth it.

As others have said, it is a huge airport. We were on Emirates coming and going and had to take a shuttle between terminals that seemed like it traveled 10 miles.
2 hours should be okay, though.

So you've enjoyed the Obama years, then?
For the fact that they've exposed a seedy underbelly of ignorant, uneducated white mysogynist xenophobia and thrown the Republican party into an existential crisis of vapid, pandering backward nitwits, yes. You better fucking believe it.

My advice is get him some hookers and cocaine.

Got one of the worst crab cakes of my life there.
Beginning of May, gf and I(50s), will be staying near Seaside. We will have a full day and a couple afternoons to explore the area. The resort we will be at already has a nice beach, so going to another beach might be nice, but not necessary. Deep sea fishing is generally an all day affair, so not sure we want to be bound to that.
Anyone have any ideas or experiences in that area? We don't mind driving an hour or so any direction. We are both quite active, so hikes or other activities are fine.
