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 bought plane tickets to Madrid roundtrip to plan for my 60th birthday. Since I love to plan, this is part of my gift! So far, I have night 1 in Madrid. We have an 8 hour coach flight and it is probably best to relax in a nice hotel for one night.
I have 3 nights in Seville, 2 nights Granada, 1 n... 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.
