I have a really great opportunity to join a friend for one part of a long term cruise. The limiting factor is time- I work in healthcare and have about 8 work days I can be away. I'll be travelling from the Eastern US. Im not as worried about cost both with flights/food. I do think I will make it to both Amsterdam and to Thailand at some point, so while this doesn't feel "once in a lifetime" it does feel really unique.
Option 1: Amsterdam to Porto
Pros: shorter travel time, easier/less jet lag, comfort traveling to/from solo, always wanted to visit Amsterdam, love porto
Cons: I've been to Porto twice, europe 4 times, this feels like not taking full advantage of a unique opportunity
Option 2: Hong Kong to Bangkok
Pros: I've never been to Asia and Thailand has always been on my list, very novel food, nature, culture
Cons: significantly more travel time, less confident as female solo traveler, high likelihood of jet lag (i would need to return to work within 2 days of returning), ends right at Christmas (not the hugest of deals but I do enjoy family time during the holidays)
I think I know what most of you would say, as this is a travel sub, but ive gotten some really good info and advice on here in a balanced insightful way and im feeling a bit stuck. Thanks in advance for any insight!

**First time visiting Croatia & Montenegro — does our 8-night itinerary make sense? Any advice welcome!**
My friend and I are heading to the Adriatic in August and would love some feedback on our plan. We're flying into Split, renting a car, and doing a loop through Dubrovnik and Kotor before ending back in Split. Here's the rough breakdown:
- **Night 1:** Arrive Split (really travel day - only can grab dinner)
- **Nights 2-4:** Dubrovnik (3 nights)
- **Nights 5-6:** Kotor, Montenegro (2 nights)
- **Nights 7-8:** Drive back to Split with coastal stops (Pelješac, Makarska, Omiš), 2 nights back in Split
A few questions:
Is 3 nights in Dubrovnik the right call or is that too long / not enough?
Any must-stop towns on the drive back from Kotor to Split we shouldn't miss?
City recs - if you have any that aren't on the list - please let me know.
Thanks in advance — this community always comes through! 🙏
P.S. I saw about wait times at the border - we are early morning people and would get a good start on the day if that helps.
basicamente salgo desde argentina a un viaje a Japon, tengo una escala de 7 horas y me preguntaba si podia salir del aeropuerto para dar una vuelta y volver para tomar el avion
