I would do an airBnB in Tuscany. You can stay at a villa with a winery and the scenery is incredible

I’ve never been there but I’d look at local hotels. Makes the experience so much better. Hubby and I did that when we went to London, Paris and Rome and it was great

Stayed a week at the Blue Palace Hotel in Crete - it is SPG so your Marriott points should be transferable. We had a two story room with a private pool. Absolutely incredible!!!

Stayed in Iraklio when we were in Crete but would highly highly recommend Chania instead - took a day to drive there and was an amazing and friendly city. There is an awesome horseback tour guy near Iraklio though, that was a fun day trip

If you take the train up to Venice there’s a Marriott family hotel that is superb! They rolled out the red carpet when they saw my platinum status. It was seriously legit!

I stayed at Salcheto winery on my honeymoon and it was awesome. Best part of our trip. Great view of Montepulciano. I'd recommend having a driver so you can enjoy yourself while visiting wineries. I really liked Tuscany as it was no where near as crowded (in early June) as Florence/Venice were. That said, I quite liked Venice too as I am generally into Nautical stuff. Every meal I are in Italy was delicious where the only screen we did was a quick check of trip advisor.

This is a ton of great info. I appreciate the help

I have a LOT of credit card debt. It has just grown over time and I can’t find my way out. I’m considering debt consolidation, specifically a company called National Debt Relief which seems legit but I’m just so hesitant because I’m scared to make my situation worse. Or a personal loan to pay off all the CC debt and then have a smaller all in one payment. I’m intelligent and I work in finance, it’s so embarrassing. HELP.

I'm an SA, and my fiance is finishing up her residency and loves the medical field. I make good money and have a house but I feel like the relationship and the obligations (house, family) are anchors and holding me back from living my life. I want to sell and live on the road, traveling and being free.

I love my fiance and my family but I just want to quit everything and just hit the road.

Fiance does not want that lifestyle. Shes more of a 2-3 weeks of vacation is good.

Am I being dumb?
