We have a roundtrip ticket from Chicago to Rome but will be in Venice on the last 3 nights of our trip. With that in mind, I saw a flight leaving Venice at 6:20 AM arriving in Rome (FCO) at 7:25 AM. Our flight to Chicago leaves at 9:45 AM out of FCO also. I noticed ITA Airways is out of Terminal 1 and United Airlines is out of Terminal 3. Will this... Read More

Ok Pros! After countless hours of research, reading this forum, watching Rick Steves, and reading books, I think I have a roughed out itinerary and welcome any suggestions.

Yes, it's not optimal timing climatically but it was what worked for DH's schedule. Out first European jaunt since the pandemic, also the first with DH on a walker. Here's a somewhat abbreviated TR: Flights: Sprung points for seats in United's Premier Plus cabin - absolutely well worth it. Remember back when there was economy, business, and first?... Read More

Hello, I wonder how can one book a farm stay, or something like a guest house/airbnb with other guests. I tried Airbnb but over there it's often the case that you're the sole guest and I have my reservations about being all alone or sharing a house or apartments with a family/host without any fellow guests. I guess I'm looking for guesthouses,... Read More

We had never done a Guru Walk tour before and this... Read More

Say a person could buy THC gummies in his home state, legally, to help sleep. No intention to get crazy or graduate to the hard stuff. Could a few of those be put into a baggie, brought on a visit to the UK without fear of drug stiffing dogs and windowless cell? What if he had a prescription for medical marijuana? How would he prove that? Read More

Hello, curious if anyone has done this? I'd love some ideas and links as I want to plan this from the USA before we go. Looking at September timeframe.

yes, it seems like a lot, and it is. but being from Texas, it is all a lot closer than anything we have around here, and plans can change, but as a part of a month long driving trip (done the big cities, want to explore the smaller towns), I am considering 6 nights or so in an area that could provide a good base in this area. We will have a car, an... Read More

I'm planning a week in Iceland and a week in Europe. To do so, I plan on purchasing Delta tickets to Iceland and EasyJet tickets to Europe. The Iceland portion of the trip is on the backend.

Trying to plan the pandemic-delayed trip to Portugal, my first time there. Best fares seem to be in and out of Lisbon, meaning that I will have to back track to Lisbon the final night before flying back.
