Travel insurance via XCover. So aggravating. I had to cancel a trip in April due to a medical emergency. Expedia was able to cancel and refund my hotel stays with no issue. My flights were booked with Norse Atlantic Airways and I had purchased their third party insurance, XCover. I submitted my claim and it’s just been crickets. They sent me a satisfaction survey and that was it. I’ve rea…

How do you protect fragile souvenirs while keeping your suitcase light? Hey! I’m an exchange student studying with one hard-case suitcase and a carry-on backpack. I’m returning home next week, and I (regrettably) promised my family I’d bring them home some pretty fragile souvenirs – I have a jar or two of jam, three bottles of olive oil, a bag of nuts, some baked goods, and a small glass cup….not to mention all of…

New TSA experience New TSA “maximum chaos” experience today at SFO: Two parallel lines running to the scanners. TSA agent on the left intermittently yells, “All electronics larger than a CELLPHONE come OUT of your bag and lay FLAT!” Passengers within earshot comply. Fifteen feet away, the TSA agent on the right admonishes a passenger for pulling out his laptop….

I woke up at 3am with a lot of bed bug bites 🙁 Hostel refused to give me a refund. Hi, I’m currently at a budget hotel in KL right now away from the nasty bed bugs. I had to wait an hour and do laundry (to wash all my stuff) at the hostel only to be told that they won’t give me a refund for the 5 nights that I paid for. They did offer to give me another bed (in a mixed dorm but nopes not for me) but I decided to just not to ar…

Choosing South Pacific Island for a “relaxed” vacation We are fairly active seniors and have done quite a lot of trips on our own and a couple of packaged tours.

Timeframe is for the first 4-5 months of 2025, about 1-2 weeks not including travel time. I w…

Has anyone used the latest (2024) Lonely Planet editions? My partner and I are going to Italy for two weeks (last week of September, first week of October). I’ve always been a big fan of Lonely Planet guidebooks (a couple of Rough Guides in the mix), so for my birthday last month he got me the LP guides to Italy and Florence/Tuscany (I plan to focus a lot of my time in Tuscany). But omg… the new own…
