We will be spending about 4-5 days in Barcelona in June and I am looking for suggestions on:
1. Which areas we could focus on to look for Airbnbs
2. Hotels / boutique hotels (reasonable pricing not too expensive) with breakfast included.
We will not have a car and the plan is to do all the touristy stuff - so something that's fairly central and... Read More

We are wrapping up a two week Netherlands trip, standby for our report. This was a makeup trip that we had to cancel in 2020.
We were surprised that our credit card wasn’t accepted in several establishments. We don’t use debit cards but that’s what they want, some won’t take cash.
We will have a debit card on our next trip. Read More

Do you know of any beautiful places between those places we can stop for a quick hike in nature or eat a meal somewhere quaint and nice ? Not fast food.
I know Sonoma is on our way, but we don't drink. So wineries don't interest us.
Any nice stops along our driv... Read More

Cascade Canyon Express-
Durango- Silverton- Steam
Durango - Silverton- Diesel
Which one is the best? Worst? Also, which one of these- -open-air gondola or vintage coach (like schoolbus).
Finally-- if gondola-- does it matter which side you sit on?
Also are the routes the same? IF we do the Cascade one what will we not see or miss? Thing... Read More

We decided to go on a very last minute 2 week New England road trip. We plan to fly out on July 4th. It will be my husband & I, 18, 16 & 10 year old. Because it's so last minute, we aren't able to stay at the exact locations of some of our destinations (no hotel availability) but everything seems relatively nearby so I'm hoping it won't be much of...

Hi -
My family of 4 is traveling from Lisboa-Oriente (train station) to Faro, Portugal via train, then switching to a bus from Faro to Seville. There's a Lisbon-Faro train that arrives at 11:23am and a Faro-Seville bus (Flix bus) leaving at 12:10 pm.

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

From my experience, one of the best souvenirs/gifts from Switzerland is the Signature Lite Swiss knife from Victorinox. A small keychain knife, its features include a LED flashlight/torch, a pen, a pair of scissors, a knife and a file. What makes this knife standout is its small size, durability and reliability in offering light, ink or a blade exa... Read More

We used points to fly in to Munich airport, arriving in the morning, and then took the train S1 to the city HBF. We stored our luggage for a day i... Read More
