virgin islands could be pretty cheap... prob go from boston to atl to vi

I love Iceland and I have done it. More thinking a country in Europe or maybe Cuba? Suggestions?

Portugal

Loved staying at Atlantis, Bahamas in their autograph collection hotel

True. Nassau has little impacts; the Bahamas could use all the tourist money they can get! Pls consider if you still want to go there....

The Bahamas aren’t exactly ready for tourists right now. 😳

I’m a new associate to a T&E group, partner goes away on vacation and leaves me with a 706 to review and sign. The family is very wealthy. Decedent married for 60 years. Partner says it’s “just a DSUE election, decedent was ill for years, no assets.” Provides no records. Not even an admission the decedent owned a toothbrush. So I looked up the decedent’s home - it’s a joint asset. Partner was “surprised”, and still insists “no other assets”. I found file references to art and antiques.

They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?
