Hi Fam! I’m on the East Coast and looking for a tropical vacation spot for 5-6 days. Looking for recs! I’ve done Mexico a bunch so not keen on that and also looking for somewhere that doesn’t have strict covid requirements (we are all vaxxed). I have a ton of Marriott points to blow if that helps (over 400k).

Not sure where you’ve gone there, but there’s great food, tons of beautiful beaches, and it’s relaxing. Maybe don’t stay at a chain hotel and it won’t feel like Disney.

Partners - Do you ever take vacations?

I have been at my current firm for about 1.5 years, and in that entire time the partner in my group hasn't been out of the office a single time. Is that normal? I can't tell if it's standard for big law partners to not take time off, if the dynamics for my group may be different (only 1 partner in the entire group), or it the partner I work with is just a masochist.
