Brett, Vietnam is on my bucket list of places to visit. I would love to hear your recommendations of where to go and what to see.:):)

You can get a coconut limonade at Espiritu Santo also. It is fun watching them make them in large batches!

I had a nice seafood meal at La Mulata in the old town. Restaurant Espiritu Santo is only open at lunch, but it is a budget friendly place that caters to the locals and has nice filling meals. No matter where you dine, make sure that you have some of the coconut limonade, it is really tasty.

Audrey, honest, none of those empties was mine....;D;D

I have been to Munich at least 10 times over the years for work and vacation and I can confirm that you can get liters of beer in the beer gardens any time and not just during Oktoberfest. My favorite Munich biergarten is the Augustiner garden near the Hauptbahnhof. I found it less touristy than...

My wife had COVID last week (somehow, I missed it). When she asked the pharmacist about Paxlovid, she was told that they only are giving it to higher risk patients (she is mid 60's and in good health), or if you take a serious turn for the worse. She was told to take Tylenol and it did clear up...

On a visit to Newfoundland last year, I heard this type of tire described as "baloney skin" tires. LOL;D

OMG - I am having a flashback to the 1970's. I remember this song from the Dr. Demento show, although this is the first time that I have actually seen the video.

DW and I are looking at 4 or 5 days in the Finger Lakes region in mid October. What would folks here recommend as must sees in this area? I would like to base ourselves in a central location and then do day trips from there - any suggestions as to a good base with some restaurant options...

Thanks for that song, Koolau. It holds a special place in my heart for me, as our daughter played it at her wedding, not knowing that I also liked that version. I had heard it a number of years before, but she also discovered it independently although I like to think that my musical influences...

+many. Agree that the Heathrow Express train to Paddington is the way to go. No need to pre-reserve, It is easy to get tickets whenever you land and clear customs. The last time that I arrived, there were agents selling tickets as you walked to the trains to minimize lineups. Very convenient and...

Thanks. I think that you folks have convinced me now that $79.95 Canadian for a synthetic oil and filter change at my local shop is in fact, a good deal.;D

Nothing too exciting/special/sinister. DW likes her accomodations to be more "comfortable" than some of the rustic Air BnB's that me and my friends partake of. Also, I am much more willing to tolerate 6 to 8 hour bus rides on intercity buses in South America than she would be; her preferences...

Just finishing up a month in Ecuador travelling around the country with a couple of friends. With only a couple of days left, it looks like the total cost should be about $4000 USD for 29 days including Business class airfare to Quito from Canada. We do this by renting AirBnB houses and...

But they will have to get past Canada (LOL! Gotta plug my home side). Actually the women's WC should be very competitive with lots of sides having the potential to win including England, Brazil, Germany, France and others. Should be fun to watch, but I agree that today's game was great. Just...

I checked several Hilton Hotel brands where I have upcoming reservations, and the member price was EXACTLY the same as the AAA, Senior, AARP rates. But, perhaps calling the hotel directly just before you will be arriving, may net you a better price if they aren't busy, but I have seen this go...

Count me in for the catfish loving side. DW doesn't care for them, so that in combination with the fact that it is hard to find un seasoned catfish north of the border, means that I don't get them very often. A few years ago, I was in the Evansville, IN area and had their regional specialty...

It depends a bit as to what you are looking for in your travels to Amsterdam. I have been going to the Netherlands for work for several years and I stay in the local city of city of Leiden. If you are looking for the "Dutch experience" with canals, small cities, food, etc. without the crowds of...

Sucks to be you folks with Costco USA - we can still get sausages for the same $1.50 as hot dogs up here in the Great White North.;D;D

Cambios giving you a better rate than your credit card or an ATM? If you believe that, I have some swampland in Florida that I need to talk to you about. I have been to Argentina several times, and the street side cambios were always to be avoided. But as Koolau says, YMMV!

This past August, I did 2 weeks all across the island from the west coast to the north coast to the east coast. If you need any recommendations, let us know. I always enjoy going to "The Rock".

Sure Braumeister - it's Renews-Cappahayden area.

Tomorrow, I am heading to a little town about 90 minutes south of St.John's again. It will be about my 20th trip to the island. Do you think that I might like it there?;D If you are ever there, try the fish and chips deluxe - aka. coronary on a plate.
