Which also reminds me, my passport has expired.
That's a 5/7 deal! Well done. I've never flown Air but I hope to make it to Ireland some day sooer rather than later.D Griff wrote: ↑Mon Oct 23, 2017 10:21 am Well, gf and I got round trip flights to Ireland yesterday on Aer Lingus for $577/each minus $5XX she has in points on her travel CC, so about $300/each in4
Only downside is that we have to connect at JFucK.
We will be in Ireland for 4-5 days and want to check out another country for the rest of the trip.
We're thinking either Switzerland, Netherlands, Germany right now. Suggestions?

Generally agree with this list with one possible modification. If Griff only has a couple days extra to go somewhere else I'd suggest Amsterdam over somewhere like Berlin or Munich only because those cities really need more time to do them. Amsterdam is awesome and fun but small enough to catch the highlights in just a couple/few days.MexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Mon Oct 23, 2017 3:05 pmI'll rank emD Griff wrote: ↑Mon Oct 23, 2017 10:21 am Well, gf and I got round trip flights to Ireland yesterday on Aer Lingus for $577/each minus $5XX she has in points on her travel CC, so about $300/each in4

1. Germany
2. Netherlands (or 1 if you're down for weed, legal there at coffee shops)
3. Switzerland (it's nice but boring, Germany has more fun atmosphere)
Waiting for pics at travel thread.
Ah yess Lisbon, that is on the bucket list! I'll pretty much feel at home therewap wrote: ↑Mon Oct 23, 2017 4:19 pmGenerally agree with this list with one possible modification.

What areas did you find to have the most natural beauty/interesting geography? Generally we're a lot more into that than city exploration, but cities are also cool, and these will certainly be more interesting for me than all of the US cities that I've been to numerous times. I guess what I mean is, we'd probably enjoy beautiful landscapes, architecture and stuff like that more than a great museum or food scene.
Athens has that parthenon, and it's a seaside city, pretty nice mellow area. Food are great.D Griff wrote: ↑Tue Oct 24, 2017 7:58 amWhat areas did you find to have the most natural beauty/interesting geography?

Honestly, I don't know a ton about much of Europe, I've seen a lot of people's travel pictures from France, England, Italy... and my dad lived in Germany for six years so I'm a bit more familiar with it. The other countries are largely unknowns to me.
Agree with you that Scotland would be neat, but I'd rather see something a bit more different, as this will be my third trip to the UK and I haven't been anywhere else in Europe.
Agree on the above.MexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Tue Oct 24, 2017 10:21 amAthens has that parthenon, and it's a seaside city, pretty nice mellow area. Food are great.D Griff wrote: ↑Tue Oct 24, 2017 7:58 am

Barcelona is also beautiful, and surrounding places as well, like Salou.
Paris has some nice architecture like Eiffel and few other stuff. Pretty nice city to walk around, and you'll see lot of expensive cars on the streets too.
Florence is also up there,
can't really speak for the rest.
Also, getting out of Oslo gets you into some natural beauty. We did this train/train/bus/boat-on-a-fjiord/train trip to Bergen and back and it was amazing.D Griff wrote: ↑Tue Oct 24, 2017 7:58 amWhat areas did you find to have the most natural beauty/interesting geography?

when i flew a lot my barclays airline card was good. Usually get a boatload of miles for signing up. That plus all your flights might get you a free trip somewhere elsedubshow wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2018 9:25 am Anyone have any good :dills: on lodging in the UK?
I have like 2 credit cards, neither being ideal "travel cards". 1 has a low limit and the other is a gap clothes card.
1. I need a card I can get some cereal point on quickly
2. Card needs to have the travel protections over seas (not a bunch of bogus perks I'll never use or jump through hoops to make claims)
3. im real opposed to fees like on amex but am open minded if the money works.
4. i spend $1200-2k per month avg on CC now.
so far im looking at cap one or the equivalent chase sapphire. both should have around a $10k limit.
anything the hive mind of DFD can suggest?
nope, thats part of the problem. I fly out of 2 different cities and no great airline. My flights are too sporadic. Id liek to be loyal to southwest but they arent always the best option.[user not found] wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2018 10:18 amDo you have one airline you can be loyal to?dubshow wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2018 9:25 am Anyone have any good :dills: on lodging in the UK?

Chase Sapphire is great if not.
Airline cards are excellent for miles if you want just miles and you want to be dedicated to one brand.
The seal of approval.
As to this question, I've stayed at this place twice now, and found the second time that the place has been improved a lot. It's run by but the Indian restaurant is off the charts . It's also in Kensington, a great neighborhood, and is a very short walk from the Glaucester Road Tube stop, which is on several lines including the Jubilee Line which gets you directly to and from Heathrow. It's also on the District and Circle lines and those 3 will get you to most places you'd want to go in London. You can also walk to the Victoria and Albert and Natural History museums, if you're so inclined. There are also a couple of decent money exchange offices near by and a Waitrose and Boots (pharmacy and grocery store) across the street and a Sainsbury's (supermarket) down Cromwell road. which can all be handy to be near.
Everytime this comes up I recommend AMEX BLUE cash preferred. $75 annual fee but it pays you 6% back on groceries up to 5000/year and everybody has to eat. If you eat 5 grand worth of groceries/year that's +225 net on that alone. Varying cashback on other things, base is 1%dubshow wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2018 9:25 am Anyone have any good :dills: on lodging in the UK?
