Going to St Anton, Austria in February with DW to ski. I'm also going to be skiing in the same way it all started - nordic. Bringing my telemark skis. Free heel is the only way to go.
Just got back from a couple of weeks in Europe, and discovered why everyone I know who has been to Prague is utterly in love with it.
Probably the most beautiful and interesting city I've ever seen (it even beats Brugge in Belgium, IMHO).
The Czech Republic is now on my short list for a repeat visit soon.
Same here. We're headed to Tucson to pick up our new to us 5th wheel.
It's a 40footer so we have lots of practice ahead in an empty parking lot to learn how to pull it and more importantly park it!
...... to Bergen, Norway.
Just about ready to go. Ten days in Ontario cottage country, five weeks in Greece and a weekend in Paris on the way home.
And even better....we have an election and we will be tuned out of most of the campaign rhetoric, adverts, and B.S.
I thought Prague was lovely.. But loved Budapest more. Perhaps it was the heat wave (our apartment didn't have AC) or perhaps it was the large number of drunk and stoned kids in the square. I found it a little sad... But the architecture was awesome.Just got back from a couple of weeks in Europe, and discovered why everyone I know who has been to Prague is utterly in love with it.

Toronto-Porto, Portugal.
Nice. In 2013, heading to Barcelona to catch a westbound transatlantic, we nabbed an Air Transat one-way at half the cost of other flights on adjoining days..(may have been their last flight of the season on that route).....savings pretty much paid for our week in BarcelonaNemo...we scored 2 excellent fares on Transat this fall. Toronto-Athens (the nonstop one) in late August and return Paris to Calgary (where we live) in October for just over $800CAD. Then got a Aegean Air from Crete to Paris for approx. $100CAD each, including one bag check(hers not mine).
We managed to grab a few (not enough) on May 25, from TD @1.4030 for our pending October trip.......we check daily but the rates suck.We have been buying euros.
Porto and we very much enjoyed the area.
Good catch! Enjoy your trip.Scored yesterday. WestJet called and said that they changed equipment and oversold our flight to Toronto. I agreed to a flight 30 minutes earlier..no problems. Then she said thanks and gave us each a $100. voucher for future travel.
I have been itching to go somewhere for years but my aging 95 year old mother kept me close (only child). Sadly , she died last week..but she told me to "get on with life" so I will.
Got back last night. The cabin was on an unserviced island. No TV, power, water, landline. They have an artesian well and solar panels. Our mobile was beyond the service corridor. Got back last night and found out about some turmoil in the markets. Lovely peaceful experience.Heading off the Galiano Island for the weekend to visit friends who live there all summer.
Guess you'll be far enough from the fires? Have friends in Lenore, and although the fires are 20 miles from them, the smoke sometimes obscures their view.Heading to Sandpoint, ID in a couple of weeks. Anyone been there and have any suggestions for activities, sights, restaurants, etc.? Thanks!
