| We spent 8 days in Syria back in June and it was one of my favorite trips of recent memory. Flew to Amman and took a car to Damascus. We used a guide and driver and saw Damascus, Maloula, Basra, Krak des Chevaliers, Homs, Latakia, and Aleppo. It was truly amazing to be walking the steps of the Apostle Paul in Damascus, seeing the ancient amphitheater at Busra, and wandering around the beautiful crusader castle of Krak des Chevaliers. It was a much easier trip than I thought it would be (only partially because we had a guide), and the only danger we felt was the fear of a vehicle crash due to the poor driving and passing habits of motorists. Happy to answer any questions people may have. Photos:

Just a suggestion: When arriving to BKK , using reserved hotel car through a concierge from a better hotel is the best route imo. THAT ASIDE... if you would like to use a taxi, I suggest go down stairs from the exit doors. There is a taxi box there with someone assigning regulated drivers. My last trip was to Si La Salle station at 22:25 arrival. 300B plus 100B tip I give. There are other solutions, but this one works well for me.
I’m visiting New York City and considering a trip to Niagara Falls on the US side. I’m trying to find the best balance between cost, travel time, and actually having enough time to enjoy the falls.
I’ve looked at:
My main concern with the one-day tour is that it looks like I would leave before the evening fireworks, which seems like a big part of the experience.
For someone starting from Manhattan, what would you recommend?
I will have an 8 hour and 30 minutes layover in Madrid, and a long time friend of mine from there wants to give me a city tour. I am so excited but just worried about one thing
Is there a place I can leave my luggages at? Like a locker that I rent or something like that? I will have my backpack, a carry on plus a dispatched luggage up to 23kg
So I'm worried about that, but not much else tbh since I am allowed to leave the airport from what I know, and just gotta make sure I get to the airport 3 hours ahead of the flight back too
Looking to do a possible 180 on my life. Last summer I travelled for 24 days and spent $7k Canadian ($5k USD) in that time period. I'm thinking of traveling for a year.
In those 24 days I did London, Venice, Rome, Barcelona, Faro, Lagos, Lisbon, and Porto. I stayed in hostels.
I'm researching costs and people are saying they were able to do a year of travel for 20-40k. Obviously my units don't scale well.
Anyone who's done it before have any advice?
Thanks!!
I am traveling from Vietnam to the U.S. on ANA with a layover at Haneda Airport (HND) in Tokyo. My ticket includes an allowance of two free checked bags, but I plan to check only one bag in Vietnam.
During my layover at HND, I plan to enter Japan, do some shopping, and purchase a second suitcase. When I return to HND for my connecting flight to the U.S., will ANA allow me to check this newly purchased suitcase as my second free checked bag for the HND–U.S. segment?
