Solo travel to Antigua Guatemala for Spanish Has anyone traveled to Antigua Guatemala for Spanish lessons through — https://spanishschoolplfm.com — this language school? It looks like a good experience with one on one lessons and a lot of conversational-focused learning. I am wondering from a first-hand perspective what it is like, as well as any things to know or do there? I am going in l…

French Bee is horrible I recently flew French Bee on flight BF730 from Orly to LAX. Let me share my experience. TLDR: I paid over 500 euros to upgrade to premium blue and they downgraded me last minute but didn’t provide refund. I bought 3 tickets (for myself and 2 others). We paid extra to pick seats and have cheked in luggage. About a week before the flight, I rece…

Question about Atlanta airport I will be traveling through Atlanta airport en route to Amsterdam and have just over an hour layover. I will have to change terminals, but I’m seeing there is a plane train that connects you quickly? Is that enough time to deplane, connect through with the train, and get to my gate? I have never been through that airport so just asking for those…

Collecting tickets Hi there! Just a random fun question: as a low budget student traveler, I don’t have a lot to spend on fancy souvenirs so one of my favorite ‘free’ souvenirs are the tickets I get at the museums, parks, monuments, etc. that I go to, especially if they have a really pretty picture on one side. Are there any places you’ve been to with such fun ti…

Help me choose – Iceland or Norway Hi All, My husband and I want to take a trip to either Iceland or Norway. The flights are only like $200 difference flying out of Chicago. I have done so much research on Norway for the past few months. But recently my brother and his fiancée took a two week trip to Iceland & I fell in love with it too. I speak English, Spanish and Portuguese bu…

How long in Montenegro? Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone could advise how long would be nice to spend in Montenegro? I see a lot of discussion about hiking which we probably wouldn’t be fit enough to do so maybe without that, it’d be harder to fill the time, not sure. We would likely go in early October and have 11 days (including days of travel) to work with….

Garden of the Gods Travel Advice Hello! I’ll be staying in Denver in October and would love to see Garden of the Gods. Is it possible to get there without a car? I know what google maps says but it usually gives unnecessarily complicated transit routing so I figured I’d ask. I’m not really looking for a guided tour but something like shuttles that pick up in CO Springs would be…

Questions about traveling in Belize Hi– a few questions for people with Belize travel experience. TLDR: Is Placencia worth it, am I trying to cram too much into the available time I have, and is it feasible to do these things without a car rental…. We have only 6 days in Belize including the flight in/flight out days, so not a ton of time. We want to go to San Ignacio and I thi…

Tunisia trip report I just returned from a terrific 3-week trip to Tunisia and wanted to share my impressions. A few general points: I (64M) and my wife (62F) prefer slow travel, rarely staying fewer than 3-4 nights in any location. We like food, culture, churches and architecture, and gravitate towards staying in old towns. We generally don’t love huge cities, an…

Best way to spend 2 weeks in Japan? Hello, It’ll be in Winter months and I was thinking I could land in Tokyo (2 days ?) buy JR Pass then go check out Mt Fuji area and Fukushima, then go to Nagoya (2 days) then Kyoto (2 days), Osaka (2 days), then Hiroshima (2 days) then train to Hokkaido (2-3 days) then back to Tokyo and fly out. I can change the days around to less or more and c…

21 days at sea solo, kayaking the “Darien Gap” In October of last year (2023), I set off on my first kayaking trip. Lagos Gatun, Panama, out to the ocean and along the coast to Colombia, through the area known as the “Darien Gap.” Travelling around 500 km over 21 days at sea, solo. Camping nights on tiny, remote islands, avoiding reef breaks, and nightmare levels of sandflies—this trip teste…

Is it normal to be charged both “taxes” and also “tourist tax” at an Amsterdam hotel? I booked through Agoda and it said “taxes and fees included” and the total said “final price” and didn’t mention anything else. Normally on booking.com (same company as Agoda) it would say “you will pay additional taxes at the property” but Agoda didn’t say anything like that on the checkout page. We get to the hotel and they’re asking us to pay…

Carrying Insulin (for someone else) A friend just asked me if I could carry their mother’s insulin with me on my flight to the UK. Their mother is diabetic, left for UK last week but forgot her insulin in the plane. I am leaving for UK a couple weeks from now. But I highly doubt I can carry it without a prescription and that too for somebody else. Correct me if I’m wrong? subm…

So I’ll be flying from UK to Japan, been looking extensively at cheaper business class flights and so fair cheapest are Eg ipt air (spelt incorrectly to avoid auto mod about safety in that place) china eastern and asiana airlines, how ever upon researching I’ve read horrible stuff about these airlines from customer service to poor food etc. So m…

Worst Capitol One Travel Experience Ever Just a rant, but this is the first and last time I’m using the Capitol One Travel Portal. I booked an international flight with one layover. For the longer flight, it let me select seats for free. I specifically did not select seats with a charge. Everything is all good and I book the flight for myself and the three other travelers. I get a con…

Data, Traveling Should I have Data for Google Maps when traveling (Canada to Europe), or just public WiFi? I’m only worried about Data to get around correctly, not entertainment. I will have to ask phone provider about Foreign plans I guess, and I read buy an SIM Card from the Country traveling, but what is that for? Any info in appreciated. Thxxx submitte…
