OT: Vacations

I'm in a pickle because due to work, I'll be in Reno and I usually extend my work trips into a vacay if I like the area.

You do you mate, you work hard and deserve a vacay no doubt. I would personally second guess doing it in the US, even if extending work trips is your usual as mentioned. Every dollar spent down there right now goes towards something that is probably dangerous to support and as outsiders we don't have many levers to pull aside from where our money goes.

Save the time and dry powder for something else imo.
 
No, I'm serious....I wish I had a nickel, between municipal inspectors in Zapopan shaking us down for "licensing" issues and the stock market, lol fuck.

Ah. Misread ya. Thought you (ironically) ref'd advisory points, as in "If I had a nickel for every piece of advice I gave. . ." I need to get out more, AND it's prob'ly time for my nap. 🙄

No, you read it right. I'm just fucking about. Though if you've got a nickel....
 
Safely back in the country (didn't get sent to el salvador).

Observations:

1. it was the start of American spring break and I will say I see very little difference to November when we went in the middle of the "offseason", Florida tourism is hurting from Canada and the economy.

2. It may just be a disney thing but I saw very little "maga" or "trump" shit and when I did it was usually on an old dude in a wheel chair. Tried to keep conversations to a minimum but the few I did talk to usually started with "well everyone knows our guy is a fucking idiot"
 
From March:

In the Age of Trump, Are Americans Still Welcome in Europe?

I see each interaction I have in Europe as an opportunity to show that person what an American can be. Even if I’m jet-lagged, cranky, or overworked, this thought inspires me to put my best foot forward. I am representing the USA, and now more than ever, the USA needs representatives who bring out our nation’s best qualities.
