That’s prime time for families to take their kids on winter break trips. Avoid the usual touristy places like Hawaii, Cancun, Aruba, Bahamas, etc. try some of the other Caribbean islands. Antigua is really nice. St Lucia is also beautiful.

Second this! Aruba is incredible that time of year

Aruba, Bonaire (if you dive) or Curaçao are all per perfect that time of year.

Costa Rica, Peru, Mexico

Depends

Australia or South America

If you do billable work on a given PTO/vacation day, do you still count that day as vacation? Or do you get that vacation day "back"? Or do you only get the part that you billed "back"? (Or some other option.)

Traveling on vacation next week to Austin with the family. Used Hertz points (2500) for 1 week rental for “premium” car. I just got Presidents Circle. Will I be able to choose any car there still?

Trying to be really understanding about coworkers with no children feeling stressed during the holiday season, but it's hard not to ask if they'd prefer to go home to my sick kid, frustrated spouse and dirty house instead of their empty apartment where they have a flat screen TV and a beer waiting. How do you keep sane?

How much should I charge a friend to watch 4 dogs at their home over Christmas weekend (2 nights)? The dogs don't have any special needs or medications. I've dog sat for other people in the past but always for free. I also have had dogs of my own for most of my life. I want to start charging people for my services but also want to be reasonable since this is a friend and don't plan to charge a holiday fee. We live in St. Louis. Would $40 per day/night be reasonable?

Are you spending time with family this month or next? My parents are still really worried about Covid since I work in the hospital so it looks like I may be spending the holiday season alone. I understand where they're coming from, but I'm not really sure what to do with myself next week or at Christmas. Tips? Should I try to find a remote pharm manager position?

When my recruiter says I’ll have “144 hours” of PTO (18 days), will I definitely still run into the utilization trap of not being able to take it? Are all projects 40-42 hr weekly caps? Third question: I’m new in the DC area, are PDMs invited to firm socials? Trying to make friends! Thanks in advance
