Hello, my wife and I are early in plans for a trip to Italy next September and October. We visited Italy in 2015 and made 3 day stops in Cinque Terra, Florence, Venice, Sienna, Rome and Positano. We were planning a flight in to Milan, 3 nights then 2 weeks to visit Lakes region and the Dolomites. Stops in Bologna, Modena and several of the quaint... Read More

Hi everyone, We are hoping to visit Greece in 2022, and it is looking like we will go either in April or May. Which month would be better weather wise? We plan on visiting two islands. Right now I am seriously considering Santorini and Naxos. Also want to visit the Peloponnese and will probably stay in Nafplio. And then spend about 3 - 4 nights i... Read More

Greetings everybody from our lockdown to yours. We are starting to think about where we might like to go after this is all over (say maybe June-July 2022 if not sooner) and thought perhaps of a road trip between Hamburg and Copenhagen. We have been to Hamburg before but I still don't feel like I know the place. Likewise Flensburg and Copenhagen,... Read More

I see someone has resurrected my thread for the Tour from last year. I think it will be easier to have one devoted to this year, so I will start one. Once again we are looking forward to following the Tour. We had a taster when we recently watched the final 50 - 70 kms of each day of the Criterium de Dauphine which we enjoyed. It was great to see... Read More

My sister is traveling from the US with a 110-240V and 50/60hz hair straightener which is dual voltage - does she need a converter? Apparently the voltage in Spain is 230v and 50hz so a lot of sites say it should work but wondering if anyone can confidently advise? Read More

Hello again, A few threads say that Padua makes an excellent day trip from Venice or from Verona. Others say it is better to spend the night. Some people report that the area around the train station is rather seedy. If you use Padua as a base how safe is it coming off the train in the evenings walking back into the historic center? Are there ta... Read More

Hello and thanks for the advice. Planning a family trip to London, Amsterdam, and various stops in France. Four of us, daughters 15 and 18, my wife, and myself. We are all fully vaccinated. This is likely to be the only trip the four of us take to Europe. We've been saving and were planning to go in the summer of 2022. We want to see all the maj... Read More

Yes I am aware there is a pandemic and totally taking a risk by booking this dream vacation for my 50th birthday and 20 year anniversary. I took advantage of a special offer on Icelandic air which now I am concerned because it’s not an open jaw ticket so unless I can change that we are set to fly in and out of London from seattle. we get in J...

The trip was originally booked for early July '20 mostly for the HCP flower show . . . of course that went down the tubes. The flower show initially re-scheduled for Sept '20 cuz OF C... Read More

I’m confused about the booster requirements to obtain the Vaccine Pass in France. We will be in France for 6 weeks starting Mar 22, returning the 1st week of May. 2nd booster shots aren’t available yet in California. I received my 1st booster at the end of Sept within 7 months of my 2nd shot. My husband’s booster was in early Nov and was 8 months a... Read More

Hi everyone, My wife and I are sharing this profile and we are long time public nudists. We have been to many out-of-the-USA nudist resorts, however with covid being what it is we are looking for ideas in the USA. We are very experienced nudists so no suggestion is out of the question. We will try to let you know which one of us is replying in th... Read More

I am looking to go with hubbie to Greece for several weeks in August. June and July are even higher! I am absolutely appalled at the prices this summer!!! New York to Thessaloniki, with one stop, is upwards of $1300- $1400 dollars RT each. The website lures you in in with lower prices, ($1100 - 1200 +) and at booking, return flights are 2 s...

In early Feb 2023 we completed the 7-day Northbound journey from Bergen to Kirkenses (sort of…more on that later). It was hard to find post-Covid reviews of this excursion, so I wanted to offer this. The trip exceeded our expectations in every way. First, our expectations: It’s a working supply ship, so…rustic, probably dated, not necessarily the m... Read More

Unlike in the USA, It’s usually cheaper to book your rooms directly with the hotel. They appreciate not dealing with the extra charges they incur using other websites. Read More

A year ago, Mrs Z and I returned to Ol Blighty for the first time in 35 years, our first trip there together since being 'cut and carried' (married). We visited London plus the Cotswolds, a total of nearly 5 weeks self-catering. The latter will feature in a TR further down the road. This report is all about that ever-changing city London. As...

Over breakfast at our B&B in Glencoe in October of 2017 as our holiday was drawing to a close, my wife and I were recounting our many memorable experiences with our friendly host. I lamented that this trip had set a very high bar for future holidays : how could anything possibly rival the raw, unspoilt beauty of Skye and Mull? Or the adrenaline rus... Read More

I will have my first solo trip to Paris in April 2023. Thinking about clothing and fitting in, disguising my American style! Is April too early to wear white linen pants? Black shoes or white? Read More

Hi all. We'd like to take a family trip to Spain next Winter break (around 12/22/2021- 1/4/2022) and no one in my family has been there before. We know it won't be warm (we hate very hot weather anyway so Spain in late June when school ends sounds terrible to us), but we're still looking to be outside and try for the best weather possible during th...
