The New Travel Thread: Now with write ups in the OP

Bilbao is awesome!! Try to see San Sebastián if u are up there, really enjoyed Basque Country

 

I would definitely take a later train Arkadin but the subway system is pretty good

 

So I'm taking the point on 15-20 people going somewhere for a week around new years. Beach/fishing/snorkeling type deal but everyone also wants to get really fucked up

My first lean is San Juan del sur. Any recommendations? No thanks on Costa because I'd rather do Nicaragua, so other than those two. Flights need to be semi reasonable

 

Yacht Week BVI NYE

If not Yacht Week. BVI NYE... Rent a couple boats like the yacht week boats and sail around. Then you can follow or avoid TYW as you please.

 

Little too expensive for everyone. Can do a ridiculous mansion on the beach in Nicaragua for like 35/night/person

 

Are y'all gonna want to rage at bars or keep it to the beach and yourselves at a big house?

All there is to do in SJDS is surf and go fishing activities wise. We grabbed some nice mackerel and jack they made ceviche out of for us.

 

Just booked one of my legs of my Europe trip for this summer, London to Salzburg. Pretty disappointing about how expensive the flight ended up being. First time flying Ryanair but they jumped this price all around went from like $75 up to $120 randomly and then one day back down to $85. The day before was at like $160 and the day after was around the same price so I decided to go ahead and book it. Knew it was going to add up with picking seats, checked bags, etc. but also didn't realize I had to pay in the pound so that jacked it up even more than I was expecting. Ended up being $255 for bff and I, not that bad but sucks when my flight from Prague to London on the way back is only $100 on Easyjet.

 

Everything I've read says they blow it out on new years

 

Trying to book a trip for end of May/early June with the gf. She wants to go somewhere with a beach and mentioned islands in the caribbean. I like places with a bit more action and things to do so thought maybe Southern California would be a good spot. Which do you guys think is the better option? If you think islands some suggestions would be good. I've been too a bunch (Aruba, Bahamas, Jamaica, St. Maarte), but going somewhere new would be better for me i think.

 

For Thailand: Four days in Phuket or four days in Koh Samui?

 

Koh samui, by a lot

 

What time of year you going?

 

I'll be there late April.

 

Either way the answer is samui

 

I cant recall for sure off the top of my head, but i think during the summer Phuket is in the monsoon season. The google machine can let you know when it starts precisely.

I dont think you can really go wrong with either, but I'd go to the one that will likely have the best weather.

I have heard Phuket is more touristy, whereas in Koh Samui you could also ferry to Koh Phangan (full moon party, really only for raging like a college student) and/or Koh Tao (supposed to have some of the best diving in the world).

 

yes it exists

Spoiler

but it's a nice place. just expensive as shit when the canadian dollar is strong

 

Just go to the Gulf side. The week southside and I were in the north it didn't rain at all in the south. Then the day we got south they got a week long storm so we just audibled to the gulf

 

But isn't the Canadian dollar really weak right now?

 

yeah but dude didn't say when he wants to go so I thought the caveat was necessary

 

Argentinian peso is sooo low right now. Going to eat like a king down there.

Just got reservations at this place:
http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaura...ce-Buenos_Aires_Capital_Federal_District.html

One hour pre-party with wine tasting, all-you-can-drink wine during dinner, then a 5-course meal featuring making your own empanadas and ridiculous steaks.

All for $100.

 

Make sure you bring more USD than you think you'll need to take advantage of the black market currency exchanges. When I was there I think the official rate was 8.5:1 Peso to USD, but on the "black" or "red" markets the exchange was 13.5:1. The New Yorker expat I stayed with through Airbnb exchanged the money for me.

 

Yea, I haven't read up on the black market exchanges yet, I just know they exist.

You went Rio to BA, right? So did you just have a big wad of USD with you in Brazil? Guess I could do that as well, just be extra careful.

 

All your recs on St Barts, pls

headed there for my 20th wedding anniversary next year

 

It's a lot of fun but I had friends there who planned out everything. Reminds me a lot of Chicago.

From what I've heard, though, Montreal seems to be the Canadian city to go to for fun if you're just looking for a good place to go while USD is so high. No Toronto complaints, though.

 

Just make sure you avoid traveling during the lunar new year period. The largest human migration in the world annually, as most factory workers go home for the holiday.

 

Does this thread have info on Tokyo/Kyoto. Searched but couldn't find any. My bro and I will be there 8 days first week of April. Had no idea it one of the busiest times of the year for Cherry Blossoms. Open to anything.

I think PJP3 just got back

 

Galway, it's on the other side of the island, about a 2 1/2, 3 hour dive. Supposed to be awesome, but we just don't have enough time. Blarney Stone is near the Southern tip of the island, even a further drive from Dublin.

It's a short trip, so don't want to try to fit too much in and spend the whole time traveling (have made this mistake before in Europe). Just going to keep it in and around Dublin, using Friday and Saturday to explore some villages. I figure we'll party pretty hard on Wednesday and Thurs in Dublin and be ready to see something outside the city, but those places are just too far for a 5 day trip.

 

Correct, Rio > BA. Unfortunately, I didn't bring as much USD into BA as I would have liked. If I had to do it again I would have brought more. If I were you I'd consider bringing a separate empty suitcase and going off on wine and other keepsakes you find interesting in BA. The street art is beautiful.

The unofficial rate is 14.99 currently. Google "ambito informal" for the unofficial rate at any given time.

 

Any restaurant (high end) and tips to show the lady a good time in Toronto? Yelp isn't very insightful

 

Probably should've searched the thread before...good info

 

I did Seoul, Kyoto, Osaka, Hakone and Tokyo back in september. Kyoto is more about the day time and sightseeing. Tokyo is great for nightlife, drinking, eating. I'll answer any more specific questions I can.

 

Is it everything I hope it will be?

 

Anyone who's been to both Prague and Amsterdam, which would you choose for 3-4 single guys in their late 20's?

 

As the thread's notorious Amsterdam Hater™ I pick Prague.

But I have Bias™

 

Vancouver imo... That is, if strip clubs aren't that high on your priority list.

 

Assuming Budapest and Krakow are already locked in? I like both of those much better than both of the ones you said.

I'd probably pick Prague, but it's actually pretty close for me -- I really like Amsterdam.

 

Prague.

Amsterdam is fun, but 3 days was too much for me.

 

Can't comment on Toronto, but TripAdvisor>>>Yelp

 

I think you may have me confused with someone else. It would either be a trip to Prague or Amsterdam. Prague may be it. Thanks.

 

He's not confusing you with someone else, he's saying that you're debating rib eye and flank steak when there's filet on the menu

 

Ribeye >>>>filet

 

I'd go prague.

 

Yes, one of my favorite trips I've done. Incredible food, super friendly people, tons to do, easy to get around, and less expensive than I expected. I generally like to go to new places and don't double back much, but Japan would be one of the places I will return to.

 

Maybe wrong thread, but how often does Delta drop the 50k miles sign up bonus? Seeing 30k right now.

I'd like to get a bigger bonus to hopefully get 1 free-ish flight to South America. (I'll have about 80k, should be close to $1000)
