Suggestions between Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, or Equador

Depends on what you’re interested in but if you’re a sunbird maybe Miami, Austin, San Diego, Cancun, or Cabo. Your budget stretches a bit farther in Mexico (except for additional flights) but at least you’re traveling post Holidays.

I just went to cabo 3 weeks ago so going to skip Mexico. Definitely keeping Miami, austin and SD in the mix but trying to see if anything else. Thanks!

ROAD TRIP

Straight north along the Western side of Lake Michigan, and then into and around Canada via Sault Ste Marie (faster) or via Duluth & Thunder Bay (takes you through Ottawa National Forest and Superior National Forest.

Do not waste your time driving W, S, or E from Chicago. Unless you really love corn farms

Hiking on the Canadian Westcoast with a really nice spahotel

Like banff? Is this doable in January ?

I did Miami last year for a week solo and had a blast. Highly recommend

I had a ton of Marriott points so I splurged on the W South Beach

Ski trip

Asheville North Carolina if you like beer and hiking

Micro breweries everywhere. Lots of cheap airbnbs in the mountains but you’ll need to rent a car. Wicked weed and new Belgium are the big breweries. Make sure to check out the Biltmore estate too

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.
