Hi all. After two cancellations of my planned trip through Eastern Europe this year, (Prague, Budapest, Bosnia and Herzegovina and finally Croatia), I am taking Croatia up on its openness to hosting Americans and have made flight arrangements for 13 nights in September. My COVID test is booked for the day before so that I travel responsibly, both... Read More

A friend of mine told me she heard that Times Square is turning into a drug den with people openly shooting up. I can't find anything on this except for Fox and the New York Post (which I don't trust to say the least) . If anyone is in New York, I'd like to know their take on this. Read More

How are the restaurants and cafes coping with Covid? Anyone have any photos of outside cafes and social distancing? Read More

OK, I KNOW this will be expensive, so hold the snark, please. Here is the situation: Our 2-plus week-trip to Sicily was almost all booked (hotels and inns) for last May. I shifted all bookings to October. Have not yet bought air tix. Partner (who drives rental cars when we travel) is very leery of traveling in October so I think this would be a s... Read More

Hello all, My husband and I are starting to plan a March 2021 trip to Maui. I'm wondering if any of you experts could give me some feedback on this plan: - West Maui / 5 nights - Pa'ia / 2 nights - Hana / 2 nights - Wailea / 5 nights I know a lot of people would probably skip the 2 nights in Pa'ia and Hana. Pa'ia got our attention bot... Read More

I am stuck figuring this one out. My options are Algeciras Spain, Cannes France, Genoa, Naples, Vibo Valencia, Capri, Ischia, Palermo and Vibo Scala. They d... Read More

Each July, before our busy time, we do a week or two in the Lake Tahoe area. This year we are in Incline Village, Nevada. We have rented this same house for a number of years. Very small, but fine for the two of us and maybe weekend guests. I will post later. Read More

SEKI is first stop, tentative plan is camp/hike 3-4 days there drive north to Yosemite, stay about 5 days there make our... Read More

A Road Trip- DC to Upstate NY This trip fell into our lap. My nephew was leaving his house he had SiP for ~4 months and we could stay there before his summer rentals began. As much as I missed travel itself, I had found that I also missed the researching and planning so was very happ... Read More

Not the moment you stepped on to the North Pole. Or met the Pope. Travel memories that should have faded away but haven’t. Mine is cycling across the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge in NYC. I thought I would be paralyzed with fear. But our lanes were closed to traffic. The pavement was brand new. The weather was perfect. And the view ... Hearing Sw... Read More

We have a September trip already planned (although I need a new flight since our flight was canceled) Interesting article today. Would you risk it? I might.

Well, it's been 8 months since we got back from our th... Read More

So I know I am very lucky. I am from the UK and now many other countries are open for us to travel in again. I've been travelling in Italy for almost 3 weeks now and it has been wonderful. I started in Cinque Terre and what a priviledge to be able to hike the trails with so few tourists. I completed the 2 hour trek from Riomaggiore to Telgrafo w... Read More

We've canceled our travel plans for this year, sadly, so I've started to dream about next year already. Does anyone know how hard it is to travel from Grindelwald to Chanonix "the back way" -- basically as the crow flies over the mountains? Of course there's a train via Geneva but I think a bus ride (or car rental) through the mountains would be... Read More

We're exploring the idea of renting out our home and finding a well located base within New Zealand to explore the country and its people. We're of course attracted to the landscape and love to hike and paddle board and kayak and canoe and golf. Not necessarily in that order. I guess we wonder if anyone seeing this thread has had a similar lengt... Read More

Thinking about a quick weekend getaway to Carmel/Monterey for two. Have visited many times but not for a few years and certainly not during this pandemic. Considering staying at The Gosby or Seven Gables or Green Gables. Possibly Vagabond house in Carmel. Any thoughts? Will be dining for one meal at Roys. Any other recommendations for good outdoor...

Next week? Next month? Next year? Do you think airlines are doing enough for safety? Share general thoughts please. Read More

Hi, With the European economy opening up and the great way they have dealt with this pandemic, we are considering travel to southern Italy (Calabria and Eastern Sicily) in mid to late August. What we are concerned about is travelling by plane. As we are from Canada, flying to Europe is not an issue, but some people are telling us that we should n... Read More

We're planning to drive from Dallas-Taos-Moab-Denver-Colorado Springs-and some other places before we come back to Dallas. We're staying in Hotels or Airbnb. Planning to visit National Parks. Not doing Museums, Malls or any indoor crowded places. We're either cooking or doing takeouts. I know all places I mentioned are exercising abundant cautio... Read More

Hello! I would like to move to a clean, secure and calm beach town with mild, rainy climate, perfectly accessible for wind and not surrounded by mountains. Currently, I am choosing between Biarritz/Bayonne, La Rochelle, Normandie (Le Havre/Rennes/etc.) and Bretagne (Saint-Malo/etc.). I would highly appreciate your recommendations and opinions on th...
