Some of these questions are going to be so stupid, but I haven't been to France in a couple of decades. I posted before, but I'm hoping being a bit more specific will help, because I really need to book flights, etc. I'm doing a photo workshop in Normandy (Cabourg is the base) in mid-September for 6 nights. I arrive two nights before and have a hot... Read More

My husband and I are planning to visit Croatia in 2025 in late April, early May. He typically insists on two weeks maximum, but I may be able to get a couple of extra days. I want to book AA oneworld award tickets soon, so I would like at least a vague itinerary in place now. The best routing seems to be into Dubrovnik, and out of Zagreb.

After time in Bordeaux and the Medoc with family this June, I am looking to find a less traveled town to explore - soak up some medieval history, take long walks, read in cafes, relax. Périgueux and Poitiers seem to fit that brief and are easily accessible via train. Is a week or so in each place too much? I will be without a car but will happily t... Read More
