A friend of mine works for Delta and has offered me one of his buddy passes to travel with him. He told me I can go anywhere in the world, as long as it wasn't a domestic flight, an all inclusive or a cruise. He's not into the whole tourist thing; he likes to wing it and is extremely spontaneous. We would share a hotel room.

I only can make time for a 5 day international trip in April. (Food truck season starts in early April for me)...I thought London/UK would be a good short trip. Shorter flight from MSP. Any other ideas? Thank you!

You’re a lucky friend! London is always a good option although April might still be quite ‘gray’ and gloomy.

Tropical options breakdown via category (non exhaustive) would include:

1. Beach upscale vine with the BEST sunsets -
• St.Barths
• St.Marteen
• Anguilla
(Consider flying to SM and you can take day trips via ferry to SB and A individually, making it a 3 country in one week option)


2. Soft sand beaches, no care in the world vibe - • Exuma islands in the Bahamas
• Bermuda


3. Combination of water sports, hiking, diving:
• Aruba
• Belize
• Curacao
• Canary Islands or the Azores in Spain

4. Adventure / jungle thrill:
• Jamaica
• Costa Rica
• St. Lucia

5. Unique destination with lifetime bragging rights for a trade off:
• Easter island (Long travel time)
• Greenland (colder weather)

Canada ! Get to Banff and see heaven on earth.

What do you guys think about apps like BetterHelp and Talkspace? I understand they might have real therapists working on their content, but a lot of the marketing I see is so vague and broad that it feels like a lie. Seems like "This app got rid of my anxiety with a 30-minute automated text questionnaire" is the new "This tea made me lose 20 pounds in two weeks!" Just seems a little fad-like and money grabby to me. Thoughts?
