Spending a few nights in London. What’s the best place to stay that’s most central and walkable? It’ll be a Marriott brand for me but I don’t know which to pick!

Most central to the touristy things is the W. The Sheraton Park Lane (Piccadilly) and the Marriott Park Lane (Central) are near Hyde Park and close to Tube stops — and the Sheraton is walking distance from Buckingham Palace. The Marriott County Hall is on the other side of the river but right by Big Ben, the London Eye and Waterloo station. The Dixon Autograph Collection is a bit farther from the touristy London core, but right by Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, Borough Market, The Shard, and London Bridge station.

Seriously thinking of taking a 6 mo sabbatical and getting away from it all for a while next year. Potentially travel around the world in Q3 / Q4 presuming the pandemic situation has improved.

I know it will set me back from making Partner by at least 1 year but who cares? I feel like it will be a life changing experience (traveling around the world part).

Just used a meaningful amount of AMEX points for the first time to buy flights to Greece for my wife and I. Emirates business class both ways for 2 people, 290k pts total or 145k each way for 2 tickets. Plus another 30k to get us round trip domestic connecting flights bringing the total to 320 points. This is on the 777 which isn’t the best business class product out there, but I’ve never flown international outside of coach and think it will still be worthwhile. Think this is an OK redemption?

I would love for the families to be able to come, as it is out of town.

My boss said it’ll be another 18-24 months until my director promo is approved and goes into effect. More in comments
