Southern Patagonia Tour for a couple in late 70s My wife and I are in our late 70s. We are considering Argentinian and Chilean Patagonia in February 2025 or November 2025, focusing on glaciers and mountain views. We can walk on a relatively flat, even surface, e.g. boardwalk but do not wish to undertake mountain hikes or hikes in uneven surfaces. Can anyone recommend an itinerary that we can d…

I’m visiting New Orleans in April. I’m hoping to get advice from this community about where to stay. I’m weighing the Warehouse District vs French Quarter The wife got us tix for Taylor Tomlinson. I haven’t been to New Orleans since 1990 something. I want to stay somewhere that’s not too loud, but close to coffee and foodie options. Also, hoping for a neighborhood safe enough for long ass walks during the day time. Thanks in advance!!! submitted by /u/ohsodave

Best EU city to take a “difficult” eater Every other Christmas holiday we take my mother-in-law on a bit of a mini-break somewhere in Europe (she lives in England). It’s only been until the last few destinations that we have realized that she is a a picky eater (though she claims that she isn’t). She prefers bland and basic foods and isn’t comfortable trying new dishes. So, the hubs a…

Not going to travel with my friends again Story time : We (my husband, my friend S, and I) went on a two-week-long vacation to Europe that I mostly planned and paid for. Because S didn’t want to pay for their own room, we ended up booking only Airbnbs. S complained about every bed, pillow, and temperature at each Airbnb. Mind you, I booked Airbnbs because S did not want to pay hotel pri…

Do you guys favour nature or architecture when travelling? I, myself, prefer nature by quite a bit but value both highly. What about you guys? submitted by /u/CaMarched

Anyone know what the etiquette on how to sit as a passenger for the Vespa tours (with personal driver) in Italy? Booked a night-time Vespa tour in Italy with private driver with a few friends. We’ve never done this before, so we’ll be riding as passengers. Curious about etiquette and personal experiences with the solo Vespa vehicles (not sidecars). Judging from several pics, I wasn’t sure what is appropriate. Are you supposed to hold/hug (as a female) the …

What poorly rated hotels did have/end up booking only to find out it was not that bad? Often some good rated places either fail us completely or perhaps had an off night specifically for us. Sometimes we end up being desperate in a place with no more space and have to settle for less. But what were instances of actually badly reviewed places that turned out to be not that bad in the end? submitted by /u/orangek1tty …

My plan is as follows: 1am-5am – stay in the Transit area of the airport as it’s very late at night 5am-6:30am – head back into Arrivals and …

How do I find some ‘trivial’ but somewhat interesting spots to visit in a city? Hello, I’m a tourist from Korea. When I travel abroad, I like to find some small, ‘trivial’ spots that not many tourists go to. For example, when I was in New York, I visited a corridor of a small hotel only because it was featured in the movie. In Pittsburgh, I went to a cemetery park to see the tomb of Heinz, the founder of the f…

Checked bag was delayed: How much should I spend? I flew yesterday morning from DFW-LGA, I checked my bag at the counter and went on my way, but my bag somehow got left behind. I was told they found it today and that they’d deliver it, but I need to buy clothes toiletries etc to keep going. Being Christmas Day no stores were open so I’ve been in the same outfit for 2 days. I need to buy clothes…

Cool Stuff to See Outside of Las Vegas Gonna be in Vegas for 3-4 days next month for work. My wife is coming with me to celebrate our 11th anniversary. After work is done we’re wanting to do something outside of Vegas for a few days. Been to the Grand Canyon before. Is there any ancient ruins or megalithic sites around there? Anyone got a clearance to get us on one of the Janet Fligh…

Curious Re: Japan Airport Symbols I’m currently travelling domestically in Japan and I noticed these symbols when I looked at the departure signage. It has a Circle, a Triangle, and an X in a column alongside the flight codes. Since this is located near ANA’s Stand By counters, I was thinking if these symbols showed how many seats are available for stand by tickets. Have you s…

We used Sapphire Preferred card and are flying with Volaris. Any advice is appreciated. sub…

For those with bodies that don’t like to idle a lot during long commutes like flying, how do you deal with that? My body likes to ache if I idle too long even for 30 minutes. How do you deal with that during long commutes like in planes? I can’t just stand up and move around all the time. 🙁 Thank you for reading and hopefully answering. 🙂 submitted by /u/antdude

Paris was a movie and Lond…

Tibet Trip- Kailash late May 2026 I want to go to Mt. Kailash to do the kora around it during the Saga Dawa festival at the end of May, 2026. Does anyone have suggestions for tour groups or companies? I have been to China twice, and both trips were fantastic- one with my son in 2010, and the other with my family in 2017. If you have advice or recommendations, please speak up! …

8 hour layover in Stockholm. I’m heading from the US to Europe with a layover at ARN from 7am until 4pm. I presume this should be enough time to take a quick look around the city. I’d love any suggestions for the best way to use my time. I see there is a high speed train from the airport, but it seems expensive. Is this the best option, or are there more economically opti…
