Large checked duffel ok for international flights Hi. I used to fly with a huge duffel and never had an issue, as long as I watched the weight limit of 50 lbs. That old bag is gone.

Searching for beach vacation that offers some exploration/adventure as well Trying to plan a 10th anniversary trip for my wife and I. We have the money and have always thought Hawaii looked awesome – but I am tallying up the price and seeing that it could easily be 7-10k for a week in Hawaii in early April.

Is it worth it to travel to go to a concert? International singers never come to South Asia. They barely come to Asia even. I would have to go to Europe or Australia or the Americas. Would it be worth it to travel that far to go to a concert? I saw the Eras Tour film recently and it was the best experience of my life. I wonder if real concerts are even better. Are they? submitted by …
