I just rolled off a LONG project and am burnt out. I want to take PTO to go somewhere warm, relaxing for a few days. I’ll be traveling alone, so have safety in mind. Any ideas? I’d be flying from DC.

Arizona has some fantastic wellness resorts. Easy to travel alone, doesn’t require a ton of planning, and very safe! Easy to get to from DC too

I don’t have recommendations for this time of the year but I’m a huge proponent of alone trips after burnout so I’m following. Also in DC and want to hear recommendations!

Florida is warmer and easy to access. If you want to head further south, the Caribbean and other countries are great but safety for me is always a bit more of a concern.

Oh yikes. That is cold. This is usually when I head down to spend some time to escape our early winter but good heads up!

Cali!

I hear Cuba is amazing.

Go to Jamaica or the Bahamas! You can just chill on the resorts and get all that good vitamin D!

It’s per room for all of these up to two people.

The Standard in Miami could be a good place. Lots of wellness. Same with Le Fountain Bleu in Miami

If you just want to lay about, I would recommend an all-inclusive almost anywhere. Everything is taken care of. Usually plenty to eat and do on site if you do your research and pick a good resort. Even okay to do some tours solo if the hotel is recommending the tour operators.

You can get directs to Aruba from BWI (I know, I know... but worth the drive for a direct to paradise). And I love it there. Anywhere in the Caribbean is good but Aruba is GREAT!

Bermuda! 90 minutes from the east coast, beautiful, and very very safe for a woman traveling alone.

It’s the same latitude as to GA/SC. Not great in winter for somewhere really warm and tropical.

I’m all about Bermuda, otherwise.

Stay at the Boca Raton Beach Resort and Club or the Breakers in south Florida. Both very safe for someone alone and are great getaways.

I got an offer from Thoughtworks GGN as a lead consultant. Being a mother, I have anxiety about joining TW, since it is service based.

1. Bcoz of the recession and hiring is not for specific project, is it the right time to join TW or is it risky w.r.t job security?
2. How flexible is TW for WFH or it depends on the client?
3. How is WLB?

Please help..

I was on the phone with a guy I dated 2 months ago. He was telling me about all the people he went shopping with. Some names I knew, others I didn’t, as the name list continues he mentions “a personal friend” in the mix. which I thought was weird in the moment cause why didn’t he just say a name. I didn’t ask like I should have. I would of made a joke like whose a personal friend your cousin? Lol. Would others assume he is dating based on the “personal friend” comment
