[quote]This is the thing with Madrid. It’s not an “old world city” at all. It’s not really a tourist city and the locals are not wild about tourists to say the least. 2 world class museums. Amazing restaurants. But yeah I wouldn’t spend more than 2 nights there with kids. Personally. It’s grea...

Noted, I was thinking of wrapping up in Madrid potentially as there are good flight options back. ...

Sounds like a great trip. We stayed in Ghent, but spent a day in Brussells and a day in Bruges, both were awesome. Ghent was abosultely fabulous, we loved sitting on the canals every evening drinking wine and eating takeout while my kids fed the ducks. We spent 4 days in Paris and thought ...

Thanks. That’s one thing we both said after this trip, it would have been nice to have a more chill location in there to recharge with pool / beach. ...

She did great. We bought a cheap stroller, so she didn’t have to walk a ton. We cut it a bit shorter at the louvre etc, but she did really good. We just had a rule that anyone could have a snack basically anytime they wanted and stopped at every playground. ...

I get that and was a little concerned, but it was fine. We stayed 4 / 5 nights at each place and I think moving made them excited to experience different places. ...

Europe with kids

Just getting back to work from a great 2 weeks in Europe (London > Ghent > Paris) with the wife and 2 kids (ages 4 and 10). I am already planning a trip of a similar scale for summer of 2025, but looking for recommendations. My wife and I did Italy and Greece a few years ago which we loved and ...

Thanks man. I just discovered this also. Looks like I'm better off the book individually. I was pleased to see that the trip from Brussels to Paris is less expensive than London to Brussels. ...

Eurostar Tickets

Looking for advice on rail tickets. I'll be traveling with my wife and 2 children (10 and 4) in early June and will be leaving London for a 3 day visit to Ghent / Bruges en route to Paris. I have not traveled extensively in Europe so am generally unfamiliar with train travel. I was looking to boo...

2017 in SC is something I will never forget. The haters out there will say it’s no big deal or whatever, but if you haven’t experienced it - you can’t explain it. I really wanted to come out, but couldn’t make it work. I’ve got calendar marked for Madrid in 2026. ...

I hear you guys and felt the same way leading up to 2017. It blew my mind, maybe I'm a simpleton, but it was in fact one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Report back after you witness it. It's an awe-inspiring event. If you are close to the path of totality and miss it, it's a major fa...
[quote]I actually feel sorry for all of the dads that planned a family event to travel and watch a 100% overcast sky get dark and then light again. We were lucky in SC 7 years ago to have totality and a clear sky….looks like today you need to be in Maine to have a shot at seeing anything. [/quote...
