Fine dining… alone? I’m traveling through a town that has a French restaurant that is said to be superb. The kind of place couples go for an anniversary or a special occasion.

Any other locations of the world that have experiences like Sail Croatia? I did a Sail Croatia Explorer cruise last September. I was on the beautiful Salve di Mare and traveled solo at a 35F. I couldn’t believe how affordable it was, and was skeptical until the moment I got there, and it was absolutely fabulous. I am told I lucked out with an incredible group of people who connected and had the best week, but even wit…

Overcoming Excessive Travel Planning This is more of a personal question related to traveling itself. I have worked hard in order to be able to clear some time in my life to take trips. However I avoid and don’t like doing extensive planning and routing of itineraries when making trips. So I end up feeling a bit overwhelmed by it and just don’t go which makes me a bit bummed. How m…

How necessary is physical cash in Japan? I’ve heard they’re more cash based than other places. I went to the UK not too long ago and didn’t use physical money the whole time, just card. In my day to day life in the US I also don’t use cash and haven’t held a physical dollar bill in a while. For travel I prefer to not carry cash unless I’m going somewhere that it’s absolutely necessary….

Is it insensitive to plan a trip to Honolulu in January? I have been planning this trip for months tbh and I am just about ready to actually book flights (my process is slow – a lot of ppl to coordinate with).

Anyone else having issue with the new Vietnamese e-visa website? The website has been frustratingly buggy and took me a few hours and applying in Vietnamese(using translate) to finally submit the form.

We’re likely staying in Lisbon (with seve…

Pet arrived in italy Hi! I just arrived in Italy with my dog from the US. We got all the paperwork (microchip, vaccines, EU health certificate) and arrived in customs.

What’s best for Maui right now? I had been planning a trip to Maui in 2024, probably to Kaanipali or Kihei, but the recent fires have me thinking twice. I really don’t want to be a burden to the cleanup and rebuilding efforts. So which do they need more—do they need tourists to stay away and give them space, or would they rather have the tourism dollars? submitted by /u…
