Some years ago, I was passing through Toronto airport for a domestic flight. I had absent-mindedly put my tube of Vegemite in my hand luggage, rather than my checked bag. When I got to Security, I was pulled up and my Vegemite was removed. After some to and fro with the Security lady, I threw...

Very interesting TR. Did you need a Sri Lankan visa?

I used Paris Greeters last year and had a brilliant tour. Because of my total disorientation in the northern hemisphere, I was over 30 minutes late, but the Greeter waited for me (I had no way to contact him). We did a tour if the area around Opera, which used to include furniture and...

I've really enjoyed re-visiting parts of Ireland I've seen. I need to go back and check out the rest. Thank you

Surprisingly, several restaurants in Vienna accepted cash only. I'd spent 6 weeks travelling the rest of Europe and had hardly used cash. And the ATMs in Vienna all imposed charges. The taxi to the airport also required cash only.

Great report. I was only moaning this morning of the zoo that is the Eurostar waiting area. Loved your details of rural France.

I was interested in this. I have a similar trip booked for August. Did not consider that a transit hotel may not be available. Yikes!

Thanks for your report. I'm watching anxiously all the details of procedures needed for my trip to UK, France, Italy and Austria, later this year.

Great report. Wonderful information for a train nerd! Adding Malta to my list, too.

Thanks for your report - I had to cancel a trip out there earlier this year. :(

I was wondering that!?

I'm with Zoomaloid - I want a cup of tea - then a walk to a supermarket for supplies.

wonderful report...now I'm keen to go - and...no vacancies! :(

You're interrupting my nap!

I was thinking that I'd never been upgraded and then I remembered..... Many years ago (I think somewhere more than 40 years ago), I was travelling from a conference in Perth, home to Sydney. I was booked with - I think - TAA. On the flight over, they fed us only a snack in Y and I landed in...

What a treat - Chihuly!

Wonderful trip report. Really enjoyed it in my isolation. Next year.....

I want to go back to Venice - before it gets crowded and dirty again. It wasn't in my original planning (UK and France), but the pictures of the canals, etc., looking so clean and sparkling make me long to go back there.

I'm coming along too. Sounds fantastic! Added to my list. Seasickness???

That Library! Wow! Almost enough to make me visit New York again....
