Dr_Pangloss Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I fancy doing a trip to Portland and Seattle, done it before but I must say both cities are my favourites out of all I have been to in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone recommend some good nightlife spots? there are a few cafe's and restaurants scattered about he place where you can get a beer and enjoy the vibe ... locals tended to ignore us and keep themselves to themselves but a few would ask where we were from and have a little chat . the 5 star hotels are where you're more likely to get your debauchery type stuff going on all hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye i enjoyed it the chauchescu building is a must see but prebook before you go as you can't always get in few buildings , churches , park areas and what not nice bar area including a church that has been converted into bar / restaurant and it sells my favourite food " Pork Knuckle" (not a euphemism ) Weekend is about right unless you decide to venture out to Dracula territory. Ok ok ok I've made you wait long enough ... the women look fantastic , happy now ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphouneso Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 First one booked in, two weeks in LA in March thanks to Air New Zealand's cyber Monday deals. Gutted I just found out the Griffith Park marathon is the week before we go though! Haven't planned anything yet so if anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears. Hoping to spend a few days in wine country and maybe squeeze in a Grand Canyon trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I need somewhere wintery for a honeymoon between Christmas and new year, wanted to do Iceland but it's a mixture of shit flights and inflated prices, now thinking fly in to Munich, travel in to Bavaria somewhere and go to that castle I can't spell, anyone done that before? Or got any other ideas? Looked at a Norwegian cruise with a deal that was see the northern lights or get a free week long cruise but I'm not convinced the lights will compensate for what will be about 20 hours a day in the dark on a boat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will drive Was going Gran Canaria but can't justify the flight cost + 6 hours on Ryanair. Then got Majorca planned for the summer with Sweden probably jammed in somewhere in the spring! So this changed, GC is happening now in Feb (got return flights for £105!), Spring Break will probably happen (Maybe Budapest) and Majorca in the summer is a go! Will squeeze in a couple of city breaks to various cities too. Got my eye on Krakow again and Gdansk/Sopot/Gydnia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don_Simon Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) Seville, Lagos and Porto for my son and I on our annual road trip. He's eight and my favourite travel buddy! We're doing a surfing / paddleboard camp on the Portugese coast - cant wait! Then Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador for a few weeks. If anyone has done El Salvador, (maybe the travel don @tonyh29?) I'd very much appreciate any advice! Edited January 5, 2017 by Don_Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you stayed out towards Cascais and combined some beach time with the trip it'd be great. Lisbon less than an hour on the train for city stuff and all it has to offer too. Great city.
