RuMoore Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I've got Durham, Skye, Florence/Rome lined up and potentially going for a London NFL game. I really wanna do a 2 week trip through Austria and Switzerland but it always seems such an expensive task, looking like 2025 but I'm happy with this year's travels. Last year I did York and Toronto/New York and it was the first trips since 2019 so very much enjoyed it especially since the covid lockdowns. Also a bit of a reach but I'd love to go to the US again for the world cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eating out yes, but supermarkets, hotels and train tickets are generally cheaper. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budmiester1 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 For the first time in years, cheers Covid you git!, I actually have a set of decent travel plans. I have two weddings in the space of 3 weeks, the first in Zante and the second in Southport. Two days after the second wedding we're heading off to Japan for two weeks starting in Tokyo, then heading for Kyoto and Osaka then heading back to Tokyo and for the first & probably only time we are flying in First class. We have also pencilled in a couple of long weekends with Stockholm being the main one so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokyo-Stockholm-Southport sounds like the writing on the side of Del Boy's van. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fushimi Inari Shrine is a good visit and once you start climbing up the hill, the number of tourists drops massively so you can get better photos without the crowds. The wagyu steak we had in Osaka is also the best food I've ever tasted so definitely find a good steak place while you're there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like you'll only get there with indirect flights - Tui is stopping the last direct flights from UK to Cuba in April and Virgin is likely to follow suit. You can actually get from Mexico to Cuba so could kill 2 birds with one stone. Cheapest way for Cuba only would be flying to Canada then to Cuba.

And don't drink TOO many tamarind margaritas, they're highly addictive. (Ask me how I know ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phew, that's not a holiday, that's an ultramarathon! Perhaps not coincidentally you'll be there for the start of the peak whale shark season, and very handily positioned for Isla Mujeres and Isla Contoi. Enjoy!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always manage to fit in at least one boat trip and that had crossed my mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a quick note for anyone contemplating Cuba - if you plan on going to the US after you've done so, you won't be eligible for an ESTA and you'll need to get a full visa. One of Donald Trump's last actions as President designated Cuba a state sponsor of terrorism and you can't travel on an ESTA if you've been since 2020 (I think). This probably at least in part explains why the direct options from the UK are dwindling and probably about to become extinct. And on that note: absolutely do not transit via the US if you hold an ESTA. They'll cheerfully sell you a ticket to Cuba from Miami and then deny you boarding when you try to return because you're no longer eligible for an ESTA.

Going by Mexico or Canada is far easier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time going abroad on my tod and very much looking forward to it! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time going abroad on my tod and very much looking forward to it! There are a lot of pros to travelling solo. I went to Helsinki by myself last year and used an app and ended up going out for drinks with locals. It was a great laugh. No concerns waiting for someone to get ready to go out or picking somewhere to eat either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
