If you're a member, Costco offers travel packages. Check their memorial day ones. They're cheap in comparison to booking everything yourself

like

Costco’s packages are amazing. Would get a Costco membership for this alone.

New Mexico is moderately priced and you can road trip from TX. Things to do if interested: White Sands National Park, Las Cruces, Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Bandelier National Monument, Taos, Four Corners.

Backpacking. Idk where you are located but just look up some nearby trips on AllTrails and head out! Cheap (once you have the gear, which is a onetime investment, or rent from REI) and actually refreshing to “unplug” for a few days. I love how my mindset very rapidly shifts back to the basics. I am only worried about food, water and where to set up my next camp (shelter).

Arizona is a a short ~2 ½ hour flight. Plenty to do in Phoenix/Scottsdale and you can even can take a quick visit up to Sedona, which is BEAUTIFUL. If you like more outdoorsy stuff or things with picturesque views, there's the Grand Canyon, Horsehoe Bend, Antelope Canyon, Devil's Bridge, Monument Valley, Havasu Falls, Emerald Cove, etc. But just keep in mind that some of these places require a permit!

Agree with this. Get the hiking and scenery done first, then spend the rest of the trip in Scottsdale by the pool and eating good food. Covers all the bases. Plus it gets chilly at night so you can kick back in pajamas by a fire pit.

Where you from and where you want to go ?

Try Costa Rica. Actually super cheap flights from North America and there are plenty of places safe for a solo traveler. My sister and I went for about 5 days and did Monteverdi half the time (a bed and breakfast in the rainforest and zip line tour plus exploring solo) and then stayed near playa samara the second half in an Airbnb.

We were going to go on a hike and had a hotel booked for a night. Texted him 5 min before arrival and when i was there to pick him up. He hopped in the shower. I got annoyed that he did that because i communicated beforehand to be ready. He didnt like that and said that he thinks that i think my time is more important than his... he canceled the trip and we are not speaking because of this incident... Am i crazy or something?

Just started a new job and have no PTO and my gf is moving back to her home country. She’s upset that I can’t come with her and doesn’t want to go on the weekend because thats when her goodbye party is planned. Yes, we’re gonna do long distance. AITA?

I need to make a decision by tomorrow:
Current base salary: $55k
Current bonus: 10.5% (~$5k)
Vacation: 2 weeks
*been with company for 4 years. Started as a product data analyst out of school.

New offer base salary: $90k
Bonus: 12% (~11k)
Vacation: 3 weeks

Counter offer: $80k
Bonus: 14% (~11k)
Vacation: 3 weeks

The new offer would require significantly more travel. I have a young family and value time at home. My heart is telling my to take the counter offer from my company.
