I’m curious too, especially on how much it costs and how many days is optimal.

Bora Bora is nice, but so are the Seychelles, Maldives, Canarias, St Lucia, Curaçao, etc. In that order, no less.

People who go to dive spots and don’t dive are boring 🤷

And just make the hotels and food more expensive for the rest of us. Like go to Jekyll Island if you just want a nice hotel somewhere hot.

I may be crusty but I ain’t wrong.

Bora bora isn’t with it in my opinion. Drinks will run you 30+ each. Food is even more.

Not sure I was too cheap to buy any 😂

I have been to both, travel time to Bora Bora is much less, especially from the west coast. Travel to Maldives is much longer, you have to route through the Middle East. Food price are pretty much at the same level, Bora Bora is a little bit pricey.

I just started my third trimester and recently fractured one of my molars while eating soft fries (not sure how), but I had a root canal done on that tooth years ago so the tooth is actually a crown. I went to a dentist for consult and the dentist informed me that I will need a new crown since I lost a big chunk of the old one. The dentist wouldn’t even consider any other options because he doesn’t believe there is a good temporary fix… (More in comments)

I’m depressed. Nothing unique about my depression - I’m in big law, my career defines me, when I’m not working I can’t find the will to get off the couch, I’m sad or I’m numb…I know I’m the only one that can make a change to my life…I’m on antidepressants. Just extremely unmotivated and paralyzed. Self-help books are not for me, but I am curious - has anyone tried a guided depression/anxiety journal? Any recommendations if so?

Lost sense of maximizing points/mileage value for int’l flights. Why is Detla redeeming so much more for some routes than Chase UR and even other partner airlines? E.g. non-stop economy btw Detroit-Seoul // Delta redeeming 160k on its own route while Chase UR 123k & Korean Air 80k for same route (code share)... I get it all depends on timing but still weird directly using Delta Skymiles on its own Delta route is more expensive than going through other methods....
