Flying into and out of Bogota, but considering skipping it. Advice please

We are traveling to Colombia from Friday November 21 till Sunday 29. My city flies direct to Bogota.

We really want to go the coffee triangle and Medellin.

But since we are flying to Bogota, I am wondering if it would be smarter to focus on Bogota + coffee region

Or Bogota + Medellin

Or if it's feasible to fly to Bogota transit to Medellin

Then from meddelin to Armenia mid trip

Then Armenia to Bogota back home.

Please let me know your thoughts! ​is is better to visit Bogota since we are there anyone and one other place.

Work trip gives me two days I'm Europe on way to conference end of July , best options for transit are Barcelona or Copenhagen. Help me pick :)

Barcelona: pros: I have been wanting to visit it for a long time! I really really love Spain.

Con: Heat, ant-tourist protests, time not enough, I have traveled a lot in Spain (non Catalan parts).

Copenhagen: pros: weather, never been to Scandanavia, airport proximity to center, time feels enough.

Con: none really, just feels less exciting. I could be wrong though.

What do you think? 😊

Bittersweet trip in November, advice appreciated

Husband and I (both 33) , for personal reasons really do not want to be home on Thanksgiving this November. I think it would help us to go somewhere abroad that would feel different and exciting

So it would not be a trip that's relaxing or beach type because we want the trip to be stimulating and distracting from sadness.

We will be flying out from Texas and the trip would be the whole week.

It's too short for Europe or Asia but we definitely want to go abroad.

We have traveled a lot in Guatemala, Costa Rica , Mexico and Caribbean Islands, so we want different ideas.

At this point we have landed on Colombia or Peru, but I would love to hear your thoughts on different ideas or about either.

Thank you!​​

Have any of you tried moving while leaving a business running?

I have a construction company that is successful. It is in a red state, and my wife for many reasons is not comfortable living here anymore. She is not from the US and is a Professor whose topics of researsh are actively under attack by the government. She is also from a minority group thay is being targeted and green card holder.

We want to leave but her country is not an option for safety reasons. She is applying to universities and we will go where she gets a position.

I have been working all my life on my company and have an impressive portfolio, but I worry that none of it would translate in jobs abroad (different building regulations ect.)

I have considered keeping my company running and coming back and forth but I don't know if that is realistic. I cannot be unemployed as we want to start a family adter we settle somewhere else.

Would a portfolio be useful abroad? I do not have a university degree. My business is what speaks of my success. I am worried I won't be able to have a career, but want to support my wife who really wants to leave. I am also worried about dismantling my company which is having its most successful year at the moment and projecting to make a lot of money in coming five.

Any advice is welcome, thank you. ​​

Work trip to bogota, where do I spend the 3 days after in South America

I am going to bogota next month for a work conference.

I can take 3 days off after it and want to use them to either explore somehwere in Colombia or near it (layover on way back home).

I live in a huge, gritty, rainy ​​and grey city so I not not feel like spending the days in Bogota though I acknowledge it makes the most sense.

My current idea is either flying to medellin or one of the coffee towns.

I also wonder if instead I go somewhere random I would not otherwise, such as Quito Ecuador.

Please let me know your thoughts!

Thank you

I think my sil manipulated my brother but I am not sure what to call it

My brother does not want kids. He reflected and went to therapy for years and is very sure.

He was terrified to tell his girlfriend because she wants kids. He finally told her and tried brraking up, she said she loves him and will get used to it and she does not want to break up.

She said she hops he changes his mind but supports what he wants. She told him not to tell anyone till she wraps her mind around it. He told her he won't change his mind and he thinks albe they should break up because not having kids for someone could become a regret.

He scheduled a vasectomy.

A month before his vasectomy she told us that despite being on the pill she is pregnant.

They are not getting married and preparing for the baby.

Brother blames himself for not getting vasectomy sooner and feels guilty and bad towards his gf and future baby. ​

I really really believe that she got pregnant on purpose because the pill is supposed to be the safest method.

My MIL really wants to stay with us when she visits despite the lack if space and it is harming our relationship. I cannot tell if I have a justnomil situation

My MIL is very charming and sweet, so the things she does are so passive aggressive and hard to react to.

She rrally feels entitled to what she wants, so when she does not get it it becomes something my huaband and I are doing wrong . Not getting her way does not teach her a lesson but instead she decides to try harder. When she does that I feel like I don't compromise which then makes me feel guilty.

Examples: My family live in another country. We travel there every year for Christmas. She asks every year if this year is her turn, and every year husband tells her there is an entire huge family and community we are far from that we want to see for Christmas. Every year, same convo. She is sweet and understanding to me about it but then i find out she cries to other family members about it and I feel bad/guilty.

Another e​xample is family photos. She always wants photos with her boys alone and when my husband says he also wants his wife in family memories she seems to accept it. But then in other family events, suddenly the wife of his brother is rushing to sneak pics of my mil with my husband alone. Weird energy as if they are trapping him in a photo. I personally don't care to be in photos but my husband gets annoyed.

And then finally the main issue. She can afford to book a place to stay when she visits but has an obsession with staying in our apartment ( which is very small). I work from home .

Time and time again husband says we prefer not hosting. Time and time she begs and pushes. Then she gets all upset and cries to others when my brother gets to stay. My brother crosses the Atlantic to visit and also we are very close and we like hosting him. Then because mil cries to them (never to me) I feel other family members giving my brother weird energy.

Sorry for all this. I just can't tell if I'm being too strict with my boundaries. Husband happy with our arrangements and supports me

Is it common to be blocked from facebook residents groups once you leave the group?

Something odd I recently noticed years after I moved out that I have been blocked from the group :(

Uzak sehir-misogyny

I was enjoying the show but have been getting more and more uncomfortable with:

  1. everyone torments zerrin, demir first and now Kaya. And she never asks for help and just takes it.
  2. ​the fans wishing meryem death, when she is a victim of femicide attempt/domestic abuse
  3. Alya constantly being put in situations where Cihan saves her, when in reality the danger to her is because of him/albora family
