So I'm flying into Berlin and will be in Germany for 10 days. My original plan was to spend probably 5 or 6 days in Berlin and then stay 3-5 days in Munich, but the more I read about how much there is to do in Berlin alone I'm now questioning if it's worth going to Munich. I'm worried trying to do both cities in this amount of time will make each feel less comprehensive than focusing on just one. Should I just spend the entire trip in and around Berlin? Or should I still go to Munich, and if so how many days would I need there to get a somewhat full/satisfactory experience?
I’m planning a warm destination with my boyfriend. I’ve heard both places are very nice, but I can’t make up my mind. I’m leaning towards the Bahamas because of pig beach. When it comes to activities we will do a few, but a beautiful beach/resort is very important. So is edible food that won’t give us food poisoning.
Any suggestions?
Hi everyone! I’m taking my first solo trip out of my country (USA) this summer to France and I’m super excited.
My flight lands at 7 AM and I figure that by the time I go through customs and get to Giverny where I’m staying, it’ll be about 11 am.
I want to make the most of my day and do a bunch, but my check in isn’t until 2 (through Airbnb). What would be the best option for not having to carry my luggage around since I won’t have a car with me?
Tl;dr: my flight arrives at 7, and I’ll get to Giverny around 11-ish. Is there a way to drop my luggage somewhere so I don’t have to carry it around with me?

Just got back from first-time viewing of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, thoroughly enjoyed the experience, but it made me realize that although our family has an okay (but honestly not that good) home theater setup, there is no comparison between a movie-in-theater and a movie-at-home.
Got me wondering about how others feel.
In trains we need not choose our company For all the logic of departure is That recognition is suspended; we Are islanded in unawareness, as Our minds reach out to where we want to be. But carried thus impersonally on, We hardly see that person opposite Who, if we only knew it, might be one Who, far more than the other waiting at Some distant place, knows our true destination.

Hi all! I’m going to be traveling throughout Eastern Europe and then some other countries starting in June and it’s my first solo trip, so I’d like to have a cell phone with me at all times, will just make me feel more safe/comfortable.
I’ll be starting in Turkey, and heading to Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Albania, Spain, Malta, then Morocco.
What are my options for an affordable phone plan? I usually take trips that are about 14 days and either pay $10 a day or just connect to WiFi when I can. But since this is a long trip, obviously that’s not financially do-able.
What are my options? Thanks!
I plan on taking about a 10-day trip to French Polynesia in December through New Years 20-21. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. So far I’m planning on laying over in Papeete for a day and returning the day before we fly home. I plan on doing an overwater bungalow at Le Meridien Bora Bora for about 3 days (RIP my savings, but I think they’re the most spectacular I’ve seen so far). It seems like Moorea is fairly universally recommended, but I’m open to checking out some of the other islands as well.
Is there any true advantage to using a travel agent? Similarly, does using a travel agent end up costing more or do they really have access to some magical cost-savings? Any hotel recommendations in Papeete or Moorea? Any specific islands we should not miss?
Thanks for an insight you may have!
Helloooo! My (25f) husband (25m) and I are heading to Amsterdam in March from Canada. We’ll be in Amsterdam for 4 days, then driving to Belgium for 2 days to stay in Bruges.
1) any recs for good food/modern/scandi style shops? 2) any advice for 2 nights in Bruges or 1 Brussels 2 Bruges? 3) would LOVE to go see a Canadian war memorial in Ypres, any preferences for people who have been? Thinking we’ll do the John McRae memorial and the in Flanders fields museum.
Would love any recs or advice! :)
Can anyone comment on the weather and vintage shopping please?

(Bloomberg) -- Secretary of State Michael Pompeo kept a feud with an NPR reporter alive on Sunday, taking to his personal Twitter account to post a Bible quote about lying and slander. The post came a day after Pompeo’s unusual, official statement attacking NPR’s Mary Louise Kelly and the media in general after a contentious interview with questions about Ukraine that she said ended with him unleashing an expletive-laced tirade. Pompeo accused Kelly of lying to him twice, including while setting the interview up in December and by disclosing his alleged outburst following that conversation, which he said was “off the record.” He cited no evidence. “This is another example of how unhinged the media has become in its quest to hurt President Trump and this administration,” Pompeo said in his statement. Five Democrats from the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations wrote to Pompeo on Saturday, terming his comments beneath the dignity of his office, and the chief executive of NPR said the radio network wouldn’t be intimidated. Pompeo on Sunday tweeted a Bible verse that “Whoever conceals hatred with lying lips and spreads slander is a fool” from his personal account, in what appeared to be a fresh dig at Kelly. In Friday’s interview, Kelly asked Pompeo about former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, who was recalled from her role. Democrats say the diplomat was seen as an impediment to President Donald Trump’s demands that Ukraine investigate Democrat Joe Biden. A tape revealed this week appears to capture Trump saying “take her out.”Pompeo has repeatedly refused to answer questions from reporters about his acquiescence in Trump’s decision to recall Yovanovitch, and has sidestepped questions about the reason for her removal, beyond saying the president lost confidence in her.Blank MapKelly, the host of NPR’s All Things Considered, said that Pompeo’s aides agreed to questions on the topic ahead of time.Following the interview at the State Department, Kelly said Pompeo summoned her to an adjacent room, where he shouted at her and used profanities for a time equal to the length of the interview itself.He also asked his aides to bring out a blank map and demanded that the veteran reporter identify Ukraine. Kelly, who graduated from Harvard and has a masters degree in European studies from Cambridge University, said she did so accurately.Pompeo seemed to suggest that she didn’t, in fact, point to the correct country, concluding his statement by saying: “It is worth noting that Bangladesh is NOT Ukraine.”‘Contemptuous’ CommentsThe two countries are about 3,600 miles (5,800 kilometers) apart.“Mary Louise Kelly has always conducted herself with the utmost integrity, and we stand behind this report,” Nancy Barnes, NPR’s senior vice president of news, said in an emailed statement.NPR’s Chief Executive Officer John Lansing said Saturday on the radio network that while it’s not unusual to have tension between government officials and journalists, “this goes well beyond tension. This goes towards intimidation. And let me just say this. We will not be intimidated.” The spat lit up social media, with the Twitter hashtags Bangladesh, Pompeo and PompeoMeltdown trending on Saturday.“Your insulting and contemptuous comments are beneath the office of the Secretary of State,” Foreign Relations Commitee ranking Democrat Bob Menendez of New Jersey and four other senators wrote to Pompeo. “Instead of calling journalists ‘liars’ and insulting their intelligence when they ask you hard questions you would rather not answer, your oath of office places on you a duty and obligation to engage respectfully and transparently.”Officials including Michael Hayden, former director of the CIA, flew to Kelly’s defense on Saturday. “When I was in government I dealt with Mary Louise Kelly a fair bit,” Hayden said on Twitter. “I found her to be a real professional. Tough questions, tough answers but totally honest. She’s no liar.” Pompeo’s role in executing Trump’s policy toward Ukraine is sure to attract fresh attention when he visits Kyiv on Thursday and Friday.To contact the reporter on this story: Katia Dmitrieva in Washington at edmitrieva1@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Scott Lanman at slanman@bloomberg.net, Ros Krasny, Kevin WhitelawFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2020 Bloomberg L.P.
