Is Seychelles worth it? Currently hold the business class on Qatar airways from North America to Mahe in the later Oct this year, plan to burn my Hilton points by staying at Hiltons at Silhouette island and Mahe island, no plan to visit La digue nor Praslin. Is this still worth it? Seems visiting that two islands is a must when visiting Seychelles.

Went last year. The tortoises are dope but otherwise the destination is not really distinguishable from any Caribbean resort island. So maybe not worth all that flight time from North America

Stayed on Praslin and did a day trip to la digue

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>
