What are the drawbacks of taking TWO (unconnected) indirect flights?

10/14/2015 10:26:07 PM I have a suggestion of option C (which I have done before in a different country): travel to a large hub and fly directly from that hub. In your case, you could obtain a visa to enter the UK, take a low cost bus from Paris to London and then fly directly […]

What precautions should travelers take in Spain/France?

8/29/2011 11:54:57 AM Barcelona had more pickpocketing than any other city I’ve gone to for a conference. One year every single person I spoke to had a theft story. One person had been mugged, a woman had her laptop bag slit in the elevator and the laptop removed without her knowledge, and I was in […]

10/23/2015 10:51:31 AM OK, the other answers have addressed the visa issue – which is fine – I’m going to add a warning and a suggestion.

Put the valuables in the locking section, then put the bike lock through the locked hoop of the padlocks and secure it to something. I’ve yet to […]

8/18/2011 3:31:50 AM I visited the rice terraces in Longsheng near Guilin in 2007. It is a beautiful place and well worth visiting. There is no need for special clothing other than the usual good walking shoes and clothes suitable for the days weather. There are sturdy stone foot paths throughout the mountains and villages […]

Finding a cruise on the Nile

8/23/2011 10:32:02 AM I did two days on a felluca (small sail boat) and I have some thoughts on this. I personally loved sleeping on deck, watching everything go by. But there were the big cruise ships as well. On the big boats – you have more height, you have working toilets, I presume good […]

Why do US passport cards have such limited usage?

2/8/2018 10:44:05 PM The limitations on usage are specified in US law (8 CFR 235.1 and 22 CFR 53). All the discussion of reciprocal arrangements with other countries are irrelevant until that law changes. Why those limitations? See the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, section 7209, subsection (a): (a) FINDINGS.—Consistent with the […]

Itinerary for Galilee and the Golan

9/22/2011 11:41:47 PM T’veria (Tiberious) would definitely be the best place to use as a “base.” As for three-four days? I would think a week would be better if you want to be relaexed. That said, you could definitely do it in less time – not to worry. As for things to do, definitely Tzfat, […]

8/29/2015 4:21:29 PM They can ask you to leave, and have the right to enforce it, as you are overstaying your agreement with them. It is however completely at their discretion. Because hotel cancellations are frequent though, there may be a room available by the time your arrive or before your scheduled departure date. The […]

When does Amtrak assign reserved seats?

8/5/2016 5:31:09 PM Unlike European railroads and most airlines, Amtrak never issues specific seat reservations, on any train.

Generally, this is less of a problem for the solo traveler, but it can be a major complication for the couple or family […]
