Lio Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 11 minutes ago, EvanG said: When I'm travelling alone I usually don't spend more than ten euros a day, unless I visit a museum. During a city trip I spend most of the time walking around and admiring the architecture and that doesn't cost much, plus I don't like to eat at a restaurant when I'm alone. And this is why Dutch tourists are so popular abroad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not like that when I'm travelling with mates and we go to restaurants and the local pubs in the evening! I just don't enjoy doing that by myself and I'm a bit of a minimalist anyway.

Regarding Copenhagen vs Hamburg, I take Copen over Hamburg every day of the week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have found a few dozen suitable properties (2 bedroom, kitchen, WiFi, entire place, central location) so going to get one booked tonight when I've decided which one looks best. Prices range from £450-£1000 per month. I'm gonna try and stick to £600p/m as I see every pound saved as money that goes into future trips Prices elsewhere on Airbnb have exploded recently I've found, fortunately Krakow has stayed pretty reasonable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussTCB Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Recently went on a work trip to Texas. I used to fly 2 - 3 times per week for work pre pandemic but last week was the first time I flew since the fall of 2020. I'll be doing a very quick 2 day trip to Los Angeles in the first weekend of November. Even thought it's only a 2 day trip, it's going to be a lot of fun. I'm going specifically to see the Pink Floyd - Their Mortal Remains exhibit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanG Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I haven't been abroad since January 2020 when I went to France. Many people around me have been going on vacation to other European countries anyway, but so far I didn't want to take the risk. I wanted to go to Portugal this fall, but with the numbers rising and a lot of countries going code red again, I think it's best to wait till next year.

Graeme Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 It's a lovely, but kinda bittersweet read, this thread.

I haven't been back for about two years now though. As it stands, my wife and I are currently considering flying in on Christmas day then flying home on the 27th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilacmess Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) I plan to take an extensive roadtrip in the summer of 2022. It will be mostly me and my 3 children, because husband doesn't get time off. I first want to travel Italy (Venice, Bologna, Ravenna) then take a ferry to Korfu (Greece). Spend time there exploring. Afterwards I plan to take a ferry to Albania or northern Greece and travel the whole Balkan up north. Albania, Montenegro, Croatia. I want to see Budva, Kotor and Dubrovnik. I want to visit Lake Skadar, ancient cities where the muezzin calls and numerous Croatian Islands. I'm excited, because it looks like it's going to be a real adventure.

Have not been down there at all....but he will travel to TX where my brother lives for this Thanksgiving! Can't wait to see him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homefuck Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Went to brač in croatia a couple of weeks ago. Really beatiful, apparently there's loads of tourists there in the summer, but going there "off season" was really nice. The locals were really friendly. Going to prague over new years as well. Loved it the last time I was there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Taking off for LA first thing in the morning. Only going to be there until late Sunday night but it's going to be so much fun. I get to hang out with my best friend from high school the whole time. We're going to see the Pink Floyd - Their Mortal Remains exhibit tomorrow. So excited! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willl Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Going to Disneyland Paris in January. Hoping it will be low crowd levels due to the time of year and the global pandemic..... fingers crossed I won't have to queue for 90 minutes to get on Crush's Coaster this time If I could have any career in the world I would love to be a theme park vlogger. Imagine getting paid to just fanny about in theme parks every day, travelling the world and riding coasters. Sounds awesome, except for the whole "having to vlog" part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracii Guns Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 We've booked a week in Malta in May. It will be my daughter's first trip abroad. I really wanted to get a nice holiday in before we're chained to the term time calendar and the prices which go with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazey Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Now that Covid seems to be going away I've just booked 5 nights in Vegas for a guys holiday at The Mandalay Bay for September. Something to look forward to after not travelling in a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willl Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) Paris in January for my birthday was cancelled due to Frances covid restrictions This last week my girlfriend handed in her resignation in preparation for us moving to Poland for 3 months in April so thats some good news Btw @Dazey if you still need a place for your wife/kid you could maybe look at trustedhousesitters.com. I've not used the site myself but it looks pretty interesting. They'd get to live in someones house for free in exchange for looking after the owners home/pets/plants/etc. You can search by "duration" so you can look for a home available for say 6+ months if they wont want to move about to much.
