Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) is spending part of his congressional recess on a luxury yacht in Italy with his family after criticizing President Biden for vacationing in Delaware, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: Scott is the chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, whose job is to win back a GOP majority in the upper chamber. Republicans’ prospects for winning back the Senate have been worsening over the course of the summer, according to poll and analysis.

Symptoms And Causes

TravelersTravelers features an icky, insidiously intelligent form of going undercover: agents from 100 years sooner or later take up residence in folks residing in the current’s bodies. It makes issues morally sophisticated. Like when a heroin junkie watches a man die from a heart assault and tearfully tells him that he knew it was coming.

Being committed to a group is similar as being committed to highschool or a job. Your bosses and lecturers rely on you to be there, they usually expect you to work arduous to turn into your finest.

A man doesn’t know how to handle his girlfriend’s response to him going on vacation.

He asked Reddit’s “Relationship Advice” forums for help. His girlfriend doesn’t want him to go on an 11-day vacation without her. She insisted it was because she would be completely alone without him. But he doesn’t think that’s his problem.

Take a buffer day at the end of your next vacation

Welcome to The Upgrade, By The Way’s new series on travel hacks and hot takes. See how to submit here.

Living in Phoenix right after college, I became intimately familiar with red-eye flights back home to Ohio, often taking one Sunday and rolling straight into work Monday morning, without even stopping at my apartment. Taking those flights accomplished two very important things at the time — scoring the cheapest flight possible and squeezing every last minute out of a trip.

This kind of weekend-warrior traveling didn’t survive past my 20s. I became exhausted not having adequate time to recoup in between work and trips. When the pandemic hit in March 2020 and travel came to a halt, like many others I found myself spending most of my time alone, which allowed me
