I don't necessarily need to eat in Michelin starred restaurants, but with only 5 days, I'd like to make some reservations at good mid-priced restaurants. Some days, we might eat our big meal at lunch. Online guides? Books I should buy?
Thanks so much for y... Read More

A few years back, we planned a 10-night trip to Northern Portugal. We did our research and amassed a ton of notes about sites, visiting hours, hikes and walks, driving routes, wine and port, food and restaurants, you name it. We were well-prepared for our departure on March 28, 2020. Well, you don’t have to guess how that turned out!

We're headed in the UK in mid-September (my husband, active 67 yo and me, mobility-challenged 59 yo). I use a mobility scooter for longer distances but can do shorter distances, stairs, etc. depending on the day - but no countryside ambles. I had rough plans for other destinations for this trip, but we went with LHR due to a much lower airfare, so... Read More

I've been reading about protests happening in different parts of Spain regarding overtourism. We have a trip planned next month and I would like to get some feedback from locals or recent visitors on what's happening and if there is anything we should or shouldn't do while there that will not ruffle any feathers.
