Go to Malaysia! It's the Costa Rica of Asia. Tons of cool stuff to do. Jungle hiking, caving, snorkeling/diving, great food, friendly people.

There are a ton of Marriotts, and they are all super cheap.

JW Marriott Phu Quoc, if you like to maximize your points. Open challenge to others: find me a better ROI for a 5-star property.

Hey all,

Are 4 days enough to do this trip Toronto - Montreal - Quebec City - Toronto. Husband and I are taking Thursday & Friday off + weekend. I’m a bit skeptical driving in unpredictable December weather. The ones who done this trip please suggest safety + entertainment + if it’s worth it in winter. Or should we just go local and do something like horseshoe resort and winter wonderland. We’ve already rented the car for those days, will have to drop it back Sunday 10 AM.

Thank you so much!
