Babymoon recs — Hotel Indigo + Palm Heights, late June

Heading to Grand Cayman in late June for our babymoon ahead of our second. 2 night at Hotel Indigo, then 3 nights at Palm Heights. Wife will be around 26 weeks, so keeping it low-key. A few questions:

  1. Hotel Indigo: Worth eating at Catalina for our one night, or somewhere else on or off property?

  2. Rental car vs. taxis: We’ve got the airport, the hotel-to-hotel hop, and maybe a couple of off-property dinners. Is it worth renting a car for 4 days, or just taxi/private transfer everything? What’s the going rate from GCM to Seven Mile right now, and anyone have a private transfer service they’d recommend?

3.Palm Heights dining: Should we just eat on-property all three nights, or is there an off-property dinner worth the trip? Anything to skip at Palm Heights?

  1. Excursions: Anything worth doing given the pregnancy, or just stay low-key on the beach?

Brooklyn Half Bib Pickup

Hi everyone! In a bit of a bind … work/life logistics means I won't be able to make it to the expo during the designated pickup hours, and I don’t have anyone else to pick it up available.

Would anyone already heading to the expo be willing to grab my bib?

Appreciate it!

Recommendations for new vehicle for family of 4

We currently have a 2019 Mazda CX-5 that we love, but our family is growing. We’re expecting our second child in September, so we’ll have a newborn and a two-year-old.

With one car seat already in, the CX-5 feels tight. Adding a second rear-facing seat is going to make the front seats cramped, and cargo space for a double stroller is a major concern. We are looking to trade in or sell privately (estimated value $16k–$18k) and upgrade to something larger.

Our Criteria:

  • Budget: Up to $45,000 sticker price.
  • Usage: Primary driver is my wife. 1-hour commute each way, plus frequent weekend trips to see grandparents in the Northeast.
  • Drive: AWD is a must for snowstorms.
  • Fuel Efficiency: High priority. Very open to Hybrids or EVs if they make sense for a long commute.
  • Tech/Comfort: Must have Apple CarPlay, a smooth ride, and top-tier safety ratings.
