We love cities - museums, offbeat adventures, food tours and architecture - but... Read More

Hello All! Long time no post! I've booked flights to South Korea for October 2022, and we have 27 nights on the ground to play with. We are most interested in culture and cuisine.

Hi - I will be in Windsor Saturday afternoon July 1 departing Monday morning. I plan to visit St. George's Chapel Saturday afternoon and the Castle Sunday. Several questions: 1.

We are visiting London the first week of July and I went to book advanced tickets to Westminster Abbey on Tuesday, July 4 and they are closed. They are also closed Wednesday, July 5. I don't see anything on the website as to why. We already have some ticketed commitments to other places later in the week, so this throws a big wrench in our plans an... Read More

We'll be there a week in September. I'd think at most two days with a car. One of us will want to tour the Camargue. Three really want to get to the sea. (Cue Charles Trénet singing La Mer.) If up to me, I'd take public transportation to Arles, maybe nearby towns, see whether there's a bus to a beach, book bus tour of Camargue. Beach... Read More

next week I’ll be flying Delta from LAX to CDG then transferring to Air France to fly to FLR with a 2 hour and 15 minute layover. Has anyone done this route before?

I've been to the British Museum and Museum of London several times, the documents displayed at British Library. . I suppose must wait until next time to see rehabbed National Portrait. is there another kind of British history museum in or around London? More information, maybe, fewer visuals?

I've booked bus tickets on Alsa from Seville to Granada and was in the process of booking Granada to Madrid - when as an afterthought - I decided to take a look at the reviews. Oh my! I thought someone here had spoken of a good experience on buses in Spain, but I can't find where I read that. Reviews on Trip Advisor are pretty bad, although some... Read More

In late September we needed to drive back to CA from TX and decided to make a road trip out of it. We had no plan and winged it for the most part. NM had a quarantine so CO seemed like a good place to head and also to escape the heat. Pagosa Springs was a town we had driven through previously and thought it might be worth a stop. It was 14+ hours f... Read More

Hello, we are planning to visit Spain during Christmas holidays from US. Based on my review of some of the threads already, it sounds like Barcelona is likely going to require more time.
