>can i cut a line from krakow to budapest?
Yes, go via Poprad and Banská Štiavnica and you'll pass through the High Tatrus national park. It's a common route from Krakow, I think you can do it cheaply by train. Then from Budapest city connections are easy.

I've done the route from Bratislava to Krakow once and the route through the Slovakian mountains was amazing. We stopped at Liptovsky Mikulas which is a town just off the route from Krakow to Budapest. Has a big waterpark too. Would definitely recommend doing that trip, all those cities are great

thank you both! this makes my plan work

yeah

Safer than most large European cities. Biggest danger is the traffic, keep a close eye out, Turks are wonderful people but arguably some of the shittiest drivers on earth.

If this has to do with the odd bomb going off, grow some balls. If you cuck, ISIS wins.

Read the catalog, you little pussy bitch.

For a time I interned for an agency in London that specialized in luxury river cruises; it was just a basic kind of office job. I did get to go to the World Travel Market though.

I'm an agent, only part-time- but even full time you won't make enough money to live but you will get lots of travel perks for yourself. Its an exciting career choice as long as you're not in it for the dough!

>Pic related. Them shits dont work.
Memory foam ones suck. They're heavy, hard to pack in carry-ons, and just squish down on the sides, but not enough at the back of the neck, and they're too thick for lumbar support.

Get the self- inflatable ones. They do work. You adjust the pressure as your own individual necks needs. They give at the back of the neck just right, and yet keep your neck from flopping.

I like to bring a packable down vest or jacket, which makes my whole seat back more comfortable, and good if chilly too! Noise cancelling headphones are a must. I also travel with Crocs slides, because my feet swell now with pressured cabins now that I am old, especially if I drink a cocktail. They are also cleanable through TSA sock walks and gross floors in lavatories that are wet. 4 wheeled carryon saves the shoulders, neck, back and feet from long terminal activity.

I always have a hanging toiletry bag, which doesn't need counterspace, and quickly goes back and forth, if you are in a hotel room with someone else who hogs the bathroom a while.

When you walk into a casino, sign up for their players club card. You'll earn free perks and shit just for signing up.

Sorry if I lived in one of those places I would help. If that's your Phantom and you are Japanese you could try for a military discount. Just have an ID and say you're a "NATO soldier" and most people will be too dumb to know the difference. Just don't do this around actual vets.

>NY, DC, and the Fort Knox area
That sounds like the itinerary for someone planning the master heist of the century. Just kidding, but Fort Knox, Kentucky seems awfully random.

For low cost Airbnb has become a really popular option in recent years. I've never used it though, but I've read positive things by some people on this board.

>>1092203

So I used it in Myanmar and it was very precise. But I also had the latest version available.

>>1092203
If you have the latest version it's pretty good.

Phoenix native here, Bullhead city is a shithole in the middle of the desert but it's not that far from the Hoover dam and Vegas so there's that

>>1091598
Yeah thats what I've been told, sadly I have to go for a event happening and I just need the best of it.
Yeah I was thinking the Hoover Dam, what about the Grand Canyon?
Also any cool abandoned stuff around there? I'm into that stuff. thanks

>kids in Vegas
Go to Disneyland

Unless they are 21 dont take the kids.

Vegas is not a family destination. We tried that in the 90s and it failed.


If you are forced to bring the kids. Stay off strip at the Red Rock hotel. Then visit nature. Red rock, mt Charleston , death valley.

Hit up hoover dam.


Enjoy some time at the pool (eye candy for you and the wife)

Take in some of the more family frendly shows on the strip.
But in really. If you havr kids go to cali/disney land or florida/disney world.

Dude, there are literally hoards of random guys handing out flyers and business cards to hire prostitutes. Half naked women posing for pictures. Degenerate gamblers LITERALLY BEGGING FOR MONEY EVERYWHERE YOU GO! Drug dealers on every corner. Slot machines in the fucking grocery stores and gas stations. Open alcohol is also legal. So you have drunks everywhere too.

Just avoid the strip and go to Freemont Street, DuPars has a great after midnight pancake deal.

I spent 2 weeks there last October.

Visited: Tunis (Capital), Sidi Bou Said, Carthage, La Marsa
Did not visit: a lot more locations worth visiting (due to no proper prior research).
ex: Sousse, Monastir, Gafsa, Tozeur/Douz, Gabes, Djerba, Hammamet,

One of the more liberal muslim countries, alcohol is fairly openly consumed, prostitution is legal and regulated
Some high profile movies have been shot there, Star Wars set is still in place, Indiana Jones films

My experience was... fairly wild. There aren't many safety nets (with me coming from the rough side of Europe), riots do happen and there have been some terror strikes. People were great overall, they smiled, waved back, kiddos took selfies with me even though I wasn't the only white-skinned/non-native around. A lot of frenchies (former colony). Traffic is abysmal in terms of quantity and rule following, but within 1 or 2 days there you get your wits about you.

There's tuna everywhere. Got sick of eating tune on the third day. English isn't as spread out. French and Tunisian Arabic dominate.

Anything in particular, ask, and I'll chime in as best as I can.

Location review (geographically using the TGM train line that connects them, they're 40 minutes apart using it):

Tunis: Very alive, dirty and smelly. Sometimes good, sometimes bad smells. There's an old city in the geographical center, the "medina", very fun to navigate because it's a big confusing, smells of spices, herbs, perfumes and stuff. Shiny golden-looking things everywhere. And cats (they're treated like vermin though). There's also a European-ish part around the old city with French influences. It's okay. Too crowded for me, desu senpai. Should take you no more than 2 days to see and do everything if you're knowledgeable about the landmarks.

Carthage: Some dead roman stuff. Visit for a day. Is cool.

Sidi Bou Said: Opposite of Tunis, chill af, clean af and light smells. Beautiful white-and-blue city, a must-see. I would recommend 1 or 2 days here too, 1 exploring and 1 doing nothing but chilling in 1 of the 2 meme cafes (Caffe Des Nattes and Cafe Des Delices).

La Marsa: People seem to like it for the beach. Nothing special senpai. One good bar - The Factory and that's it. Didn't enjoy the beach. Underwhelming compared to SBS.

Tunis: would visit again.

>pic related, using the TGM line

These little street urchins jumped on board and started horsing around on the floor, so I took my phone to take a picture and they posed this, I dropped 1TND for their trouble and one of the kids got it, naturally others wanted money too and I just gestured to them that they knock out the other kid and take it from him. I don't know what they understood but they all started brawling for my entertainment until some old guy yelled at them. After things settled down I secretly threw them some more money. Fun guys.

I suggest you check a social calendar, and some top ten lists of stuff to do. Favorite museums include spy and newseum, and the Udvar-Havey air museum if you are close to Dulles. If you haven't done the Smithsonians, they're free, just walk in and beeline to your interests.
Washingtonian magazine is your source for events and exhibits currently in progress. Search through it for restaurant reviews.

Yelp and other food reviewers are highly used in the region (techie population).

This is a quality steak restaurant mecca since its popular with lawyers and foreign nationals getting wined and dined, as well as unusual ethnic foods (most diverse population in america). Get your pho or bahn mi, your ethiopian, your pub grub, farm to table, burgers, or gourmet southern. Highest per capita income in some zip codes in the country, so lots of things to buy (incl restaurants). There's awesome groceries like Dean & Deluca, great local chains, good coffee (and tea!) houses, and nice high tea choices. I'm sure you'll be offered sweet tea as much as unsweetened as a choice. It's the South, but it's a fit town too. I always dine in Arlington at Ray's Hellburger, every visit, if I do only one thing, that'll be it. I suggest you seek out what is unusual for you at home.

The metro is going to be down all day Wednesday. If they find anything bad the closure will be extended. If you want to use the metro get on their website. It's important.
