FYI.. I know someone that's in Sweden as we speak and his comment recently was "the game in Sweden is strong!". If that helps! :-)...

Any Beetlejuice fans? [img]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u29/thenoleman/Tiger%20Droppings/Beetle%20Trump_zpsb8lr5gbg.jpg[/img] [img]http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u29/thenoleman/Tiger%20Droppings/Beetle_zpsl8badata.gif[/img]...

I love Fiery Gizzard too. Up to 12 miles of some pretty strenuous hiking on certain parts of the trail. Probably would take the OP 2 hours to actually get there though so I'm not sure if that's in scope or not....

Radnor Lake can get quite crowded so get there early if you go there but it's very close to downtown. Beaman Park is about 20 minutes from downtown Nashville and it's on the boundary of Davidson county. It's rarely crowded and actually my favorite for hiking this time of year. The Warner Parks (Edw...

No waterfalls around here. If you wanted to drive a couple of hours Fall Creek Falls State Park is amazing. The plateau around Monteagle has some waterfalls that are really nice and great hiking. Foster Falls for one. If you do MeetUp there is a Nashville hiking MeetUp group that has a lot of mem...

Traverse City Michigan. Fishing. Hiking. Wineries. Amazing beaches. Big Bear dunes. Also the Olympic Peninsula in Washington. Got it all....

I put this in another thread, but do some research on [link=(https://crmr.com/emerald/)]Emerald Lake Lodge.[/link] Not far from Banff, or Lake Louise (which is also gorgeous), and one of the prettiest places I've ever been to. Regarding Lake Louise, we stayed in the Chateau, which was fun, but...

I will add that the upper Peninsula of Michigan is amazing. Start looking around Traverse City. Wineries. Lake Michigan and incredible white sand beaches. Big Bear Dunes. ...

Emerald Lake Lodge in Alberta Canada. You'll thank me later! [link=(https://crmr.com/emerald/)]LINK[/link]...

Your budget will obviously influence things. I can imagine the pressure you're feeling. "Don't F this one up"! :cheers: With that kind of crew, the worries will be "how much flight time". You don't want to have multiple layovers and long flight times. Safety. Which island is "safe"? (Multiple...

Thanks. I hadn't thought about Finland. Latvia & Estonia were peaking my interest....

Sure. If you were planning a two-week trip, what would you suggest?...

This to me is the same analogy as going to Europe and trying to hit five countries and seven days. The Hawaiian islands are spectacular and you can spend weeks on any one of them. Obviously Kauai is by far the most beautiful and spectacular of the islands, but some of the others are just as amazin...

Think about if you're trip is cancelled? Delayed? Natural disaster strikes? Illness? Accidents? Like any insurance, you don't plan on using it, and travel insurance is no exception. How much do you have invested? Can you change? If not, what is the penalty? It's a cost/benefit thing. For...
