2027 travel plans

Looking at a cruise on Crystal in June. Lisbon to Portsmouth. We first found out when our favourite Cruise Director was on board before looking at the cruise.
Probably stay some time in the UK before heading home with a short sector across the Channel. Probably will be paid J as most J awards are via DEL

Currently in Ubud for a week. Never been this time of year. Too hot for me.
Heading on an intrepid trip to Morocco in April, then our own thing in Budapest and Prague.
 
With the footy fixture out Sydney over the long weekend will be on the cards.

Might do Brisbane as well.
 
I'm flying SYD-SIN-VIE in Scoot+ next April. It was a pretty good fare.

I've also booked a couple of weeks in Airbnb's in Italy, in the Rome and Naples regions. The only thing I hadn't booked was my travel from VIE to Rome. I imagined it would be simple and straightforward, and at a reasonable cost (!). Well, imagination is a great thing, but when I actually went into the detail of the available options, I was a little surprised at how few reasonable ones there were and at the costs.

There are a few direct flights daily, but I didn't fancy paying $250+ for a Ryanair flight (there are also a few others such as OS). So my creative mind took over and looked for what I would consider to be better alternatives, and found and booked the following, for less than FR and a more relaxing trip with a more sensible arrival time into Rome, albeit a day later.

So this is what I booked to get from VIE to ROM: a cheap Ryanair flight from VIE to Milan (MXP), an overnight hotel stay at the airport, and then a Frecciarossa high speed train to Rome Termini station, arriving around 1 pm. You might think it's a bit crazy, but I'm happy with it.
