Jet lagged and back aches Flew from Chicago to shanghai 4 days ago. I’m almost done adjusting my sleep but around night time my back will start to ache so badly. But my body itself doesn’t feel that tired or sleepy. Has anyone else experienced this? submitted by /u/Emotional_Forever_67

Doubtful Sound – New Zealand I got a rental in Christchurch and have been driving around the South Island, so I came up from Invercargill rather than down from Queenstown like most people. I had the overnight cruise with Real NZ booked, and although I was solo, you still have to pay double occupancy, so it was around $1500 NZD. In my opinion, though, the experience is well,…

Noone seems to want to sell insurance to old UK residents wanting to travel to the US A UK citizen I know, who is over 85 years old but quite agile and healthy for his age, wants to visit his children in the USA. He says the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) will no longer insure him for his stay abroad because of his age and preexisting conditions. There also seems to be no viable alternative in the private insurance sector. H…

Hawaii, Curacao, St. Martin, Playa del Carmen? Hi all – I’m turning 30 next year, and considering a 5-day beach vacay in late Feb/early March. My main priority is a coastal that’ll be warm as possible for that time of year. DR/Jamaica/Bahamas are off the table. PDC was my top choice, given the all-inclusives and array of activities we can get also go explore like cenotes, ruins, nature park…

Done lots of short-haul trips in last 10 years, but cost of long-haul is putting me off…. To give some context: I live in the UK and I’m 20 mins from the nearest airport which can take me to a multitude of cities across Europe. So I’ve taken advantage of that the last 20 years. I feel so lucky to be able to fly to Europe within a matter of a couple of hours. Flights range from £50 return to Switzerland, or £80 if I’m venturing furthe…

The journey of air travel is one of the most exciting things about travel to me. The whole going to the airport, getting through the lines, enjoying an (expensive)cold one while I wait for my plane, watching a movie in-flight, landing, drinking some more waiting to catch my connection. All of this fills me with happiness. Just being inside an airport makes me madly happy. I just absolutely love everything about it. Stepping …

Vietnam Visa Question I’m a Spanish national and have the option to enter Vietnam visa-free for 45 days. I’ll be flying into Ho Chi Minh City, where I plan to spend two days. After that, I’ll travel around Southeast Asia and then re-enter Vietnam within 30 days, which would normally require a visa. I’m debating whether to get a multiple-entry visa upfront or enter vi…

I used to live in NYC and would go to Puerto Rico on a whim, or somewhere else in the Carribean, but PR is a lot harder to get to from California. So now I’m looking for that quick easy getaway. I don’t want anything fancy or all inclusive. Just a place where I can escape the…

Colombia Trip Report Recently took a trip to Colombia (with a small side quest to Panama). Thought I’d share some of my opinons, thoughts, my itinerary as well as the costs. I took a late night flight out of London direct to Bogota, but connected to a flight to Cartagena. This was a self-transfer so I left 6 hours between flights to transfer in Bogota, which was als…
