Flying into Cancun for 2 weeks So, my partner and I have booked a pretty spontaneous trip from London to Cancun for the 30th May for 2 weeks. This is my second time in America (first was NYC) so not sure of the customs or of any local attractions that aren’t incredibly well known.

Northern Lights – August Trip Iceland or Alaska? or wait? We are trying to plan a trip August 8th-13th, as this is what works for our work schedules. We found a great deal on flights to Iceland, but from what I am reading, it may be unlikely we will see the Northern Lights in Iceland this early in August. However, I have also read that 2024 will be one of the highest levels of activity for Northern Lig…

I’m travelling to Europe with my partner in a couple of months and I’m not on regular contraception, so I want to take the morning after pill with me, just in case we have an accident while we’re over there.

Group tours for seniors (esp Europe) I’d like to book a tour for my parents (69F and 70M). They’ve never travelled in a group but they like when most things are planned (normally I do that for them when they travel). I think they would enjoy a group tour, especially in a smaller group. They’re not athletic, but they’re pretty fit. Also, they would probably like tours that stay in e…

I’d like to buy some ticket(s) for myself to go see some of the mountains or parks in the western part of the US. The issue is I’m below 25 and can’t rent a car. I’d like to move about somewhat freely and maybe not uber everywhere, especially if its a long distance. That’s it. submitted by /u/Fast_Description_899

World’s best train rides (and ones to avoid) For me, when actually traveling from place to place, absolutely nothing beats a great train ride. Railroads just have this unexplainable charm that other methods of transport lack. Whether we’re talking about incredible speeds, breathtaking scenery, varieties of different cabins, or the people we meet and connect with while on board, what would …

Advice for starting a brief Indian trip from Delhi in October My wife and I are planning on trekking in Nepal in October and have ended up booking our initial flights to New Delhi before going on to Kathmandu. As it wasn’t the focus of the trip particularly, I’m somewhat unusually at a loss with how much time to spend in India before we move on (we’re not very time-bound). So, my open question to you wise …
