My wife was due on a Tuesday and I traveled up until the Thursday before. I was very clear with leadership that if my wife went into labor before that Thursday, I was getting on the next plane out of town. I told them I would be 100% out of pocket for 2 days and then could get back online to transition my work over a couple of days before I took leave.

She didn’t go into labor early so everything went worked out, but they were fine with this plan.

I am in the customer service and sales side of travel insurance, and I am looking for a new job, possibly in another field.

I was told that it had nothing to do with my performance. Any suggestions on how to obtain a position in another area? Such as going from strictly customer service and sales to advocate and claims? Thanks

Do folks have trusted/valuable resources for researching luxury family travel with young kids? I don’t care the cost, I want to know what is most convenient and nice for my family.

Do folks just stick to true five star hotel concierges for help? Do folks just book luxury tours like A&K? How do folks research?
