I’m trying to decide on a hotel in the Maldives - currently choosing between the W Maldives and the Park Hyatt Maldives.

Does anyone have a perspective based on experience?

Welcome to all my fellow travelers. Travel is a great way to open your eyes to the world we live in. To experience new cultures & customs & embrace diversity in our world which makes being human so special. Due to Covid travel has been definitely not a priority for most people. As travel changes in our society due to borders opening and technology let's discuss and share on the experience so we can adjust to our new world and prepare for a safer experience which could be inspiring-

Has anyone had success traveling with a 4 month old? We are debating traveling for thanksgiving this year (5 hour car ride, could be longer with traffic) and would be staying at a hotel. Lots of family will be there who want to meet him for the first time. Is 4 months a dangerous time to disrupt a routine and sleep training?

SWA 🐠. I am 450 points short of my companion pass and would like to take a trip this weekend to see my brother. Other than a points run, any thoughts on how to close that gap quickly?

Thoughts on Air Europa? Looking at a flight that would use KLM to get from the US to Europe then Air Europa for a 2hr flight to my destination.

Hey all. My advice for fellow “new grads” I’m 2 years out. But my advice is to try and jump into travel PTA or PT with an agency. My take home has been 1.4K - 1.7k weekly working in SNF mostly. But i don’t feel burnt out and I feel like im in control of my career. Also it’s good for networking around the country.

Any fellow married ladies here? How do you keep up with the challenging travel schedule and work culture in consulting?

For the most part, I would still like to get married. However, practically every married friend that I have is trying to passionately discourage me from ever doing so. I mean, like 80% of them are decrying that this is the worst mistake they’ve ever made, hands down. Now, should I just chalk it up to perhaps the type of friends that I have, or is this actually sage advice that I should be taking more seriously? Thoughts?
If it helps, I’m F and so are the discouragers; ages 38-40.

Will only probs be 65-70% utilized end of year. Junior, takes into account 3 weeks for honeymoon. Great reviews from partners though (i’m in a small group). Am i ok?

Thought I would share something positive with the group. Sat AM, family member calls and says second cousins son needs a massive operation, we as family should send some money to help out since the family in need is just living on monthly wages. Made 3 phone calls and within hours we collected more than half of the operation cost. Proud to see most of the family members contributing more than I had expected

The house we bought came with 1 garage opener only. We would like to have 2 more garage openers for our vehicles. What should I do?

Do you get bonvoy points if you book on getaroom?

Are “how many points” posts just a meme at this point?
