In March we'll be flying from Toronto, Canada, to Aruba with a two-hour layover at Miami International Airport.

I am working on booking a rental car in Italy for 6 days. I will pick up and drop off at FCO. I usually rent through AutoEurope and have been satisfied.

It is about $171 less than... Read More

I am hoping to visit Brussels in April (if COVID allows…) and have never been there before. I would appreciate your suggestions for a hotel.

We are two senior adults who love general exp... Read More

My husband and I will be in Venice for 4 nights in May and would love recommendations for reasonable hotels that are close to Piazza San Marco if possible.

Will be staying near Termini and hope to use the subway a few times. I realize the Rome system won't get me everywhere, but we prefer not to ride the bus.
