Have to go to LA for work and my husband is going to meet me for 3 days. Any recommendations on places close-ish (ideally less than 2 hours drive because we are going to have a long flight home to/from LA) to go for a quick trip? We aren’t big resort people and prefer boutique hotels and walkable areas. Would like access to a pool.

2 hours barely gets you outside of LA lol. I love Palm Springs but it’s 2-3 hours and if you only have a a couple days not sure why you’d want to spend so much time in transit. Just get a nice hotel on the beach in Santa Monica

LA is a big place. You can drive for two hours and still be in LA (yay, traffic). Narrow your location down a bit for us to help out

I will be starting out near LAX and then going back to LAX to leave, thank you! I have spent time in LA and various neighborhoods there, so would like to get out of the city and see something different. It’s a little further, but I’m wondering if Palm Springs is worth the drive?

Fairmont Santa Monica. Anything in Beverly Hills (expect to pay $1,000/night unless you are further away). Ritz Carlton Marina Del Rey. Disney hotel and go to Disneyland for a day.

I’m scared COVID is just beginning and we’ll see climate change lockdowns and huge restrictions in the next years.

Like travel will probably be restricted for “essential reasons only”. We won’t be able to buy meat as often, etc.

I’m also scared that the QR vaccine passports for entertainment (like in Europe, Canada and NYC) will never disappear and that we’ll keep have to keep using them for our booster shots and maybe climate reasons.

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?
