re: Anyone ever been to Athens in January
Posted by Erato on 7/17/17 at 3:31 pm
I was in Greece until yesterday. Take the plane to and from Athens. The island flights are easy, 20-25 minute hops on Aegean. The slow ferry, on the other hand, can make for a long day of travel, and I don't know that the fast ferry makes those routes then....
Stray Dogs on Isla Mujeres
Posted by Erato on 7/17/17 at 11:23 am
I know a few of you travel to Isla Mujeres often, so perhaps you can answer this...
How bad is the stray issue on the island? I know that the stray population is large in Mexico and most less developed areas, but, as an animal lover, I have a hard time enjoying a vacation if I'm constantly seeing...

If true, this should be fun for those of us who travel internationally for business....
re: Cheapest way to see the northern lights
Posted by Erato on 4/3/17 at 3:16 pm
I don't dislike Marquette, but if the sole goal is to see the Northern Lights, Michigan is a poor choice. They're already so flighty--you need a combination of the lights and clear weather--so to maximize the chances of seeing them, you'd want to visit a locale that's consistently under the aurora b...
re: Exuma Bahamas - Paging BDE
Posted by Erato on 3/26/17 at 6:53 pm
BDE is right--the island is easily 20-30 years behind. The Sandals is the only real development--it somewhat recently took over the space of an unsuccessful Four Seasons.
There's no reason to stay at an all-inclusive. Exuma is a safe, easily drivable island. Rent a car and boat and explore. There...

I think that with gold you get free access to Skyteam clubs when you travel internationally, but still have to pay during domestic travel....
re: Delta Choice Benefits
Posted by Erato on 1/8/17 at 2:54 pm
Thanks! I think I'll go with the miles. I'd pick the global upgrades as a Diamond, but I don't think 4 regionals are worth it....
Delta Choice Benefits

Which platinum benefit would you choose? Debating between the miles, $200 voucher and regional upgrades. Thanks!...

I live about two blocks from there. Great neighborhood--safe and fairly centrally located. Have fun!...
re: Tromso, Norway
Posted by Erato on 12/4/16 at 9:21 am
In her defense, I'm not a big planner either. I travel out of the country 4 or 5 times a year (yes, I owe the board some reviews!), and never book a flight more than a month or two in advance. My line of work makes it difficult to plan any further out....
re: Tromso, Norway
Posted by Erato on 12/2/16 at 9:45 am
No family there. My mom has always wanted to see the northern lights, and initially planned to go to Iceland, but decided to go to Tromso instead due to the higher likelihood of seeing them. We have a whale watching trip planned--the whales should still be in the fjords until mid to late January, an...

Tromso, Norway
Posted by Erato on 12/1/16 at 9:00 pm
In a fit of madness, I've agreed to join a family trip to Scandanavia between Christmas and New Years. Most of our trip will be spent in Tromso, with a single day in Oslo and one in Stockholm at each end of the trip. Has anyone been to Tromso, or just that far into the arctic circle, in winter? If s...
re: Found a dog and need to find a home for it

If you care about what happens to the dog, please don't advertise it on Craigslist or FB. Shelters workers here, who have seen the horrors, beg people to keep dogs off those sites, especially a pup that looks like a Pitt or boxer mix...
Has anyone here flown SAS on a long-haul flight? I'm thinking about booking a flight to Norway in January, and would love to hear your thoughts--good, bad or otherwise....
re: Youngest commercial flight crew in the world (and WYHI)

EasyJet is actually a great airline. No frills, but I've hopped all over Europe (for pennies) without incident. I've had significantly more issues on US mainline carriers....

re: Going to Lisbon in a few weeks (updated with pics in op and on pg 2)
Posted by Erato on 9/1/16 at 10:26 am
I didn't, and wouldn't...don't think you'd get your money's worth. Lisbon's more about enjoying the Portuguese food, wine, people and scenery, and less about museums and tourist attractions....
