I know this is an odd post, but here goes anyway. Two years ago the wife and I were in Corsica (Calvi) for a week ... the first week of a 5 week trip to France. While in Calvi, I bought laundry detergent at the local Super 8 store and we both were amazed at how bright and clean our laundry was after one wash. What I bought was super inexpensive - ~...

I am reading so many confusing things on this...as I understand it a US citizen today (7/8/20) cannot enter UK on a flight from US for tourism purposes. This is under the same ban and the EU as UK for travel purposes is in the EU until end of year. Is that correct. I see 777's being shown on schedule on AA for example from Miami (the hottest of h...

In again cancelling my travel plans for the trip I had over-optimistically re-booked for October, (original trip was March/April) I'm now being informed that no one will refund deposits paid (despite meeting their cancellation policies) but instead must accept a voucher good for 1 year. Here's the wording I got from one accommodation: "Due to Coro... Read More

We canceled a trip due to Covid. We had insurance with a cancel for any reason clause. Tour operator was very small and we canceled 3 month before the trip. Tour operator offered to apply credit to a trip next year but we don't know if they will be in business. And Cancel for any reason for nonrefundable payments is not the same as a so called tr...

Hello, my daughter is renting a car from NYC LaGuardia to Chicago IL to come home hoping it will be safer than a flight during this pandemic. I need recommendations on rental car from LaGuardia and also a nice safe place to stop for the night half way or so from NYC to Chicago. Thanks Read More

No idea when we will take this trip but I am thinking ahead while not able to travel because of Covid. I know that we want to travel to both Newfoundland and Nova Scotia and of course I have no idea at this time how long we will allow. What are your opinions on the best way to travel between the two (fly, ferry????) It looks like if we do Nova Sco... Read More

Hello everyone. My, it's been YEARS since I've been here. But I need your help. With Covid putting me off air travel, I've decided to take the ferry across from England to France in the autumn and drive my own car down to the Dordogne, staying in gites. That way I don't have to mingle too much with the great unwashed (or they don't have to mingle w... Read More

It is as follows:. [url=https://www.tripadvisor.com.au/Tourism-g60880-Anchorage_Alaska-Vacations.html]Anchorage[/url] (1 night) - Visi... Read More

I'm trying to figure out where to stop for the evening on a road trip from Dallas to Estes Park and back. Amarillo is only 6 hours from home, and I'd like to get a bit farther on the way there. Is there anything to see or do or good places to eat or stay (in this Covid environment) in Dalhart TX or Clayton NM? On the way home, I was thinking of mak... Read More

Thanks. Originally - planned vacation in France for this May. Had direct flights between IAH and CDG. Like so many of the people on this website. our flight/trip had to be cancelled. It looks like the rescheduled Fall trip may be postponed. Long story but ended up paying for business class - instead of miles. 4 experienced travelers. My wife and I... 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

First off, we intend to be very careful, and think it quite likely that we've had/been exposed to Covid already, so while we are obviously concerned about Florida's rising numbers, we are planning on going as long as Disney/Universal are operational. Our traveling party is DH (turning 55 during the trip), myself (53), and DS (25 with very mild deve... Read More

Hello helpful travelers and locals, I will be driving east from Telluride next month and trying to decide where to stay the next day. I need to get closer to Denver, but staying in the rockies for one more day is fine. Trying to decide between Aspen, Vail, or Breckenridge. Here are some details that might help: - My husband and I take social... Read More

Just starting to look at putting together an approximately 2-week trip to Glacier/Yellowstone/Grand Tetons this September due to our other plans not working out. Any suggestions as to where to stay/how long to stay in each area in order to maximize our time? Definitely interested in hiking (easy to moderate), floating the Snake River, fly-fishing,...

Hope everyone is well, and for Aussies here, I hope you aren’t to despondent about when we will be able to travel again. Today we received a partial refund from our unexpected return to Australia in March. We had top cover, and cancel for any reason. Of course we dint have cover for a pandemic. The one way airfares from Paris to Sydney was over... Read More

I am currently aware that most of Europe is not letting in American travelers on July 1st. I have been looking at information for Greece to see if they will let US tourist in. I previously read that if you get tested after July 1 you will have to have a 1 day quarantine. Is this still the case. I have been looking online for info. I dont know of... Read More

We're "stuck" (it's actually really nice) at an RV "resort" in suburban Maryland while we await COVID testing and results so we can go stay with and help care for our grandchildren, who live in DC. Our entertainment here is hiking and the pool. The pool has plenty of space to social distance (probably not so next weekend, the 4th of July, but hop... Read More

Planning our next trip, whenever that may actually get to be with COVID. We would have 5 nights to spend between Mykonos and Santorini (flying into 1 island and out of the other). We aren't lay-on-the-beach kind of people, but we love visiting local sites or ruins, taking photos (my husband is a professional photojournalist), wandering old towns,... Read More

Hi all, was hoping to get some insight on a flight I’ve booked for my husband to return to Canada. He’s flying on Aeromexico from San Luis Potosí (SLP) and arriving at MEX at 10:50am on a Thursday. It’s an hour long flight. His flight from MEX is departing to Toronto on Air Canada at 12:00pm. I know it’s a big airport and a terminal change is... Read More
