I'd leave luggage (with only clothes and locked), but not the work laptop. I, also, took my work laptop on my honeymoon.

Yeah, when I was traveling around Asia this summer, I took it and only opened when necessary while on PTO.

Ask them if they have a safe at the Weston you can leave it or buy a laptop box and send it home insured.

I wouldn't let the laptop out of my sight, but that's just me. Carrying it around, esp in Paris and other places, won't be that hard. I took mine on a 2 hour speedboat ride through the Indian Ocean

Yeah, exactly. I'd put it in a safe in each hotel room. I'm just explaining how I've handled it on my multiple trips and what felt right to me.

Italy and France are known for their pickpockets - keep your laptop locked or within sight all the time

Lock it in safe. If you only have a week, limit cities and see as many sites as possible.

Yeah, def some stuff around that...there are some exceptions, like if you are actually doing work in that country

Where would you go internationally to celebrate a milestone bday? Not as big of a partier anymore but am a huge foodie and prefer destinations that provide a lot to do (whether active/sporty or sight seeing, I’m not into beach lounging/just sitting around). AUS is the only place on my bucket list but inflation + travel industry changes are increasing the budget of that trip to an amount I feel is more appropriate for a honeymoon and not just a 2 week trip 😅

A VP wants our employees going through monthly soft skills training on widely divergent topics, mandatory attendance.

It would help to hear other's findings so we can decide. Thanks!
