Trip planning for someone with severe pain and mobility issues Hi y’all, I want to start the process of planning, and saving up for, a trip to Italy for myself and my dad sometime in the next two or three years. It’s been his dream to go his whole life, and now that my finances are moving in a much better direction I want to give him the trip of a lifetime. The thing is, my dad was in a severe car accident …

Monos Luggage – hidden $40 fee for return After doing a bunch of research on Calpak vs Monos vs Away, I pulled the trigger on a Monos Carry-On Pro Plus. After receiving it, I wasn’t really feeling the materials (although it was super light) and the fact that all the reviews said it would scuff easily. The company really plays up their 100-day trial to return, but what they fail to displ…

In Love With Assisi We stopped over only for a single day in Assisi. Next time I may stay a week here! The rain at night meant we had the entire town to ourselves, not a soul to be seen. I woke up early the next day to hike to the top then explore the city alone as the streets were empty! submitted by /u/carrja99

Is Global Entry worth it in my situation? It is my understanding that I don’t need TSA Precheck if I have Global Entry, so that is part of my decision making. I also assume that Global Entry can be used WITHIN the U.S. in place of the TSA precheck, so there’s that aspect, too. Let me know if I’m wrong on that. The situation: U.S. family of 5, three minor children. We’re headed to Montre…

Your tips and tricks for saving money on flights? Hello, lovely people, I recently moved to the Netherlands from South Korea for work (and am originally from North America). I am loving the opportunity to travel easily within Europe (though I miss the ability to pop over to Japan, or even Taiwan, for a long weekend). Just in the next two months I’ll be traveling to Romania, Belgium, and Frankfu…

Getting compensation for canceled LOT flight. But the reason for the cancellation was not mentioned. What can I do in this case? Do I go ahead and fill out the compensation claim? Yesterday I had a scheduled flight from Sarajevo – Warsaw, and then from Warsaw to Copenhagen. As soon as I landed in Warsaw and was about to catch my second flight, I got a text and email saying that the flight from Warsaw to Copenhagen was cancelled, but it mentioned no reason. Only “we kindly inform that due to changes in the PLL LOT flight…

Should we still travel to Morocco? Hello fellow travellers, We are from Canada, currently in Spain and have planned travel to Marrakech, Morocco next weekend (in 7 days). However, with the unfortunate news of the Earthquake and it’s after-effects, we are contemplating if we should make the trip. Would appreciate suggestions on this. Secondly, if we decide to cancel the trip to …

6 free days in Europe because I cancelled my Morocco trip I’m currently in Sevilla, Spain after traveling through South Spain. My trip ends in Portugal. I was hours away from taking a flight to Marrakech but ended up canceling it. My girlfriend and I are mainly considering two options and are wondering what others think. We’re fast paced travelers so spending 2 nights in a location is common but I fee…

Phuket experience in 5 days We got scammed multiple times now on our few days on Phuket. It really destroys our holiday experience on this island. ​ At smaller villages around Kamala you pay a lot of money for everything. Locals just tell you higher prices when you look foreign. ​ At Patong Beach we were charged 4500 THB after we ordered food for like 3000 THB at a seafo…

Baie St.Paul, Qc Beautiful spot to visit! submitted by /u/murellownian

$99 Chinese holiday – you’re not allowed to call it a holiday if you’re waking up at 5:30am and stuck in traffic for 12 hours a day. I was 19 when this happened, but the details I do remember, despite them being over a decade ago. All prices quoted in AUD, as I am from Australia. My parents decided to drag me along for a holiday to China, as they had managed to find a tour ticket for $99 through Evergreen travel. Let me take you through how each and every single day went. 5:3…

I’m going to Japan with my wife January and I need some tips Hello you all We are a couple from Chile 🌶 (south america) and we’re going in our summer to japan’s winter next year. We want to know about tips or thing you guys recommend us to do (not do). We are going to go to Hiroshima, Kyoto, Osaka and Tokyo (more cities tbh, but those are the cities we are sure). We bought JR Pass for our trip before the …

Wholesome interaction with strangers while traveling I just thought of sharing this, maybe someone out there can relate. The other day I was transiting from Qatar to Indonesia, and just as we were about to take off, our plane developed some technical issues and we had to wait an hour for it to be fixed. I started getting nervous because I have flying anxiety and this was only making it worse. Ther…

Where is the safest place (based on your experience) you have ever traveled to? My wife and I just traveled to Dubrovnik, Croatia and were shocked at how safe we felt. Not just from mugging, but pickpockets, break-ins, etc. The streets were packed like a tin of sardines and no one was worried about getting pickpocketed or something taken from their purse. We by mistake paid too much and the cashier ran out after us. A lo…

Places similar to Gamla Stan When I visited Sweden last year, I absolutely fell in love with Gamla Stan. Any other European old towns like this anyone is familiar with (in other countries) anyone would recommend? submitted by /u/Happy-Ad-3423

Naples, Capri or Ischia? Headed to Amalfi coast at the end of Sept since we don’t have kids and things are less costly and crowded. We have a few days booked in Conca de Marini as a base (since the more popular places are still fairly $$$$) and are trying to decide what to do for the last 3 days. Return flight is through Milan since Rome was pricey. We’ve been to Flore…

Drinking enough on flights I tend to not drink enough water on a plane. So I’ve read you want to try to aim to drink 8oz of water per hour on a plane. I have. A32oz water bottle I use for travel (compromise between size and portability), so obviously I’d have to refill it on like an 8 hour flight.floght attendants usually only provide little bottles of water, should I jus…

Where should we go (London, Amsterdam, or Copenhagen)? We have a medium to high travel budget. We have three kids (4-year-old and 1.5-year-old twins). We will go to Javea, Spain (a small beach town) on phase two of the trip. We want the first phase of the trip to be opposite of this experience – architecture, people, climate, etc. My wife and I enjoy coffee shops, fine food, running, sight seeing,…

You ever get sad when you know you can’t travel? I’ve always taken at least 1 international trip (10 days) and 2 to 3 domestic trips (10-18 days) a year for the past 8 years. However, due to some unexpected housing cost I’m looking at my budget for next year and I only see a domestic trip in my budget. Just looking at that makes me depressed. 😆 submitted by /u/TemporaryJob3680 …
