The second option is a ~13.5 hr layover. Now given that I would qualify for the Dubai connect service, they’ll give to and fro cab from the Capthorne hotel and airport, and possibly a meal. Will I still…

Is three days in Rome enough if I skip the Vatican? I’m planning a 7-day trip to Italy, and I’m having trouble deciding how much time to spend in Rome and Venice and if I can squeeze in Pompeii.

I want to see the city of Venice, but I don’t h…

If you’re in the UK, I recommend getting a Barclays debit card and using it as your primary card for travel. It’s the only bank I know that lets you set limits for all kinds of transactions.

Chichen Itza minus Cenotes Hi, All! My husband and I are going to Playa del Carmen next month. I want to go to Chichen Itza and have been looking at several excursions. All of them have visits to the cenote aside from the pyramids and local towns. I’m claustrophobic and can’t swim so I really don’t want to do the cenotes. Any advice? Is there anything to do above-ground …

Just got counterfeit money from Santander bank in Mexico City. Seriously pissing me off, I could have gotten the cops called on me for this shit. Luckily people at the restaurant spoke English so I could explain myself and I had a card to pay with.

Feedback on Itinerary for Southern Germany and Austria Hi Everyone, I’m planning a solo trip to Bavaria and Austria this summer and I wanted some advice on my itinerary.

Is Budapest no longer an affordable destination? I just came back from several days in Budapest, and while the prices were cheaper than any comparable US city, that’s hardly a good metric when the average salary there is several multiples lower. I noticed everything is way more expensive than I expected — $15, 20 for a main course, meals often ended up being $20-25 after drinks and the 10% s…

One of the highlights of the trip was…
