Re: Pic's Pics & Report: May & June 2016 - Vol.1

Thank you for sharing; you always take such wonderful photographs. I'm not much of a snorkeler, and they always give me an appreciation of what's out there that I'm missing!

Re: Thoughts on a two week stay off season, one villa or two

We don't mind moving to different places; for us it's like starting another vacation :lol: might depend on how light you travel, how many of you there are and how much food you carry around. For us (2), we pack lightly and not a lot of food so it's easy to move. We like different views too, or we li...

Re: zurich or brussels or paris in february?

Hi there; it was a great trip! Though we were horrified to see what happened in Brussels in March. We had a wonderful time in Brussels; spent 3 nights at http://www.ledixseptieme.be/, explored the city and overindulged in chocolate (practically a chocolate store on practically every corner and multi...

Re: zurich or brussels or paris in february?

Hi there nothintolose, Sorry for the delay in posting; I don't get back to this forum as much as I used to.

Re: Trip Report from Virgin Gorda and St John 2015

Thank you for posting your report! I hadn't realized that Biras Creek had closed down. Your report makes me miss both islands. Too many places to vacation and not enough vacation time :(

Trip report Beaufort, SC to Beaufort, NC

I’d posted a question last year asking for travel suggestions. We are just starting a long term “where do we want to retire” search and I listed different criteria. Several forumites kindly chimed in with suggestions. We decided to make our first trip a Beaufort, SC to Beaufort, NC road trip. The na...

Re: zurich or brussels or paris in february?

Thanks for the heads up; surprisingly, the weather in February in Brussels should be better than our weather here at home! :o Anything is better than last year which averaged 10 degrees for the month and we had lows of -22 :x :x :x So I'm hoping we'll be good. It will be fun for us to learn the trai...

Re: zurich or brussels or paris in february?

Thank you for the input! This sudden trip idea came about because Delta announced a Europe mileage sale, with round trip tickets going for 40k+ or 87k for business/first to several different cities from a number of US cities. That's a big savings, and I had a lot of miles to use. I do want to see Pa...

zurich or brussels or paris in february?

Hi there, Looking to trade in some miles for a European trip. We are locked into February due to work schedules. We aren't skiers. We've never been to any of the 3 listed but they appeal to us for beauty, ability to get around, trains etc. Any thoughts? Just looking for opinions and you guys are alw...

Re: shipping costs - container and boat

Congrats to you guys! I'm sure you're not going to miss those NY winters. Wasn't last winter brutal? I can't remember it ever being so cold for so long. Bet it made the planning to move a lot more fun! :lol:

Enjoy your new home!

Re: Searching for small coastal towns to visit/retire

Hi everyone; I started this post last summer (seems I like to start thinking a year in advance of places to travel!). We didn't make it to Oregon in February (that darn Minde asked me to go to STJ with her for a girls get away, and who can refuse an island trip? :lol: ) So we've decided to start our...
