DGS is doing an internship in LA this summer and his dad and wife are headed out this weekend for a visit. They are foodies of all levels but especially like the little known gems and authentic ethnic. Neighborhoods that would be fun to explore and eat a meal? Sights that really are fun to be seen? They have the Farmer's Market on the list--i... Read More

Hi, My partner and I will be in Croatia from May 28 - June 16, and I am wondering if someone might be able to give me some sense of the crowds so far this season. I am hoping they are still a little less than in typical years, but I realize this may seem selfish - and overly optimistic. Specifically, we are hoping to walk the Dubrovnik city wall... Read More

Nevertheless, as an inveterate and unrepentant traveller, my mind just plans trips almost without any conscious decision.

Hi to everyone. I am seeking help from those of you who happened to live or spent some time in Amsterdam back in the 80s. I am writing a short story set in the Amsterdam of that time and I need information about the city back on those days.

Hello! Last night I hatched a template for a central-northern European trip that starts in Berlin and ends in Riga. Would love your insights on each place, sights/activities you enjoyed, if you think any given place really needs more time than I’ve allotted, if there’s a worthy day trip from any one of the bases, etc. I would like to add a coup...

Hello,I am having a hard time finding sources for hotel recommendations in this region and hoping that there are some here who can fill that gap. Both RS and LP have only 3-4 suggestions each and, short of looking up everything on Google Maps or using Expedia, I can't find much on the net. I have never had this issue before and don't understand, as... Read More
