Chloe is AI too. A guy named Jonathan created her and the channel.

I'll second this suggestion. We did the same thing. Had a bit of a late night getting back to the hotel, however, when RER service was canceled and we had to take the metro and then transfer to a bus. Fortunately, it worked out.
re: London and Paris with Toddlers
Posted by AeroFan on 3/17/26 at 8:51 pm to TigerMan327
We've done London and Paris with a <1 year old and other European cities with toddlers. We've used a stroller with air-filled tires and even a double-stroller to great effect. They were must-haves for the cobbled streets in many cities. On at least one occasion, we used a less robust stroller that did not absorb bumps and we ended up having to carry it on uneven streets and the like. The highlight of our Italy trip for our 8-9 year olds was just about any random playground we came across.

re: Anyone with hotel recs for Barcelona?
Posted by AeroFan on 11/8/25 at 6:18 pm to TigerintheNO
The Intercontinental is nice.
1 day is plenty. Take a cruise that includes a port of call at Key West. You can walk from one side of the island and back and stop off at a few of places along the way.
re: Recent airport travelers, are TSA lines longer due to the shutdown?
Posted by AeroFan on 11/8/25 at 6:10 pm to HoustonGumbeauxGuy
5 minute delay the other day at MLU, at 4:45 a.m.
I haven't tried them, but Nicko river cruises seem to offer attractive pricing as low as 399 euros/person for 3 nights.
re: Cairo Tour Guide w/ Pickup from Airport
Posted by AeroFan on 11/8/25 at 5:53 pm to Kraut Dawg
We did that in 2015. Stayed at LeMerdien Cairo Airport and did daytrips to Luxor and Giza over 2 days. We searched the internet and found guides with drivers for each day. Unfortunately, we didn't think the guides were that good, so can't recommend them.
See the Kara and Nate episode about it on Youtube. I believe they walked it last year. It looks like fun.
re: Advice wanted for Nordics/Baltics trip in May
Posted by AeroFan on 5/4/25 at 9:01 pm to ArmydawgMD
Vilnius is worth a visit. I liked it. However, unless you want to visit all of the Baltic countries on one trip, it's not worth squeezing it into this already ambitious trip, especially when you have plans to return to see it. Having said that, I'm glad we saw all three Baltic capitols on the same trip for comparison's sake (we also did Stockholm and Reykjavik during the same week-long trip). Maybe drop Bergen and just make this a Nordic/Baltic capitols' trip? Maybe next time you could focus on Norway? Just some thoughts.

Okay, here's the deal. Most people will crap all over your proposed itinerary because they don't like to travel that way. That's fine for them; to each their own, but they can't understand how someone might like to travel differently. So, you need someone who likes to cover a lot of territory in a single trip. I'm your man. Disclaimer: I've been to all those places except for Bergen and Helsinki. Here goes:
My first stab is this:
Night of 22nd: Fly into Copenhagen
23rd: Explore Copenhagen
I've been to Copenhagen a couple of time and walked around the city center both times. A day is enough, unless you want to go into museums or something. (We didn't go into Tivoli Gardens)
24th: Morning in Copenhagen-> Travel to Oslo
There's an 18-hour overnight ferry from Copenhagen to Oslo. I haven't done it, but it looks interesting.
25th: Explore Oslo or surrounding Fjords
There's not a lot to see in Oslo. I walked from downtown all the way outside of town in a couple of hours. A day is enough.
26th: Travel to Bergen early, see the surrounding fjords
If you like nature, you might want to see if you can work in a hike. If so, you may have to drop Bergen or Oslo. Hikes probably are more scenic near Bergen. We hiked Trolltunga, but positioning for that hike is time-consuming.
If the flight-times and fares are good, I'd consider starting the trip in Bergen or Oslo, instead of Copenhagen, and working east. You could take the ferry from Oslo to Copenhagen. Then you always could take a train from Copenhagen to Stockholm -- if fare and times are more favorable than a flight.
27th: Fly to Stockholm early, see the city
We did Stockholm in a day. That should be plenty.
Consider taking the overnight ferry from Stockholm to Tallin or Helsinki. If you take the ferry to Tallinn, then you could do a day trip from Tallinn to Helsinki, and have 2 nights in Tallinn. The ferry between Tallinn and Helsinki is only 2.5 hrs. long. A day in Helsinki should be plenty.
Take the bus from Tallinn to Riga. It only cost $5 or so when we went.
Spend the day and night in Riga, then bus to Vilnius.
Spend day and night in Vilnius, then head back to Germany.
Sounds like you have the makings of a great trip!

If you've never been to Oktoberfest, you could head to Munich for a day or two! :cheers:
re: Booking separate flights on the same day...
Posted by AeroFan on 3/9/24 at 10:42 pm to RandySavage
We've flown into NYC a few times to connect on separate tickets. We did it once with Norwegian and also with Norse. We usually stay the night in NYC before the connecting flight. The last time we did it, we flew into JFK late at night, and took a city bus to the subway, and then the PATH to NJ where our hotel was. However, for our Norwegian flight, we flew into LGA on Southwest and took a city bus over to JFK for the connection to Norse. If you're taking the first flight of the day out of ATL, there should be less chance for delays. Also, some travel insurance policies provide some coverage for missed connections. You could look into that, but be sure to read the fine print.
re: Budget airlines to Europe
Posted by AeroFan on 2/16/24 at 5:38 pm to RandySavage
We flew Norse. No issues.
Right now MSY-MAD is $546/person rt economy fare for end of Oct., or even leaving as soon as Feb.-March. The fares are about the same from BTR and MLU. Comparable fares to DUB. In a few weeks, prices from MAD-Milan should drop to $44/person rt.
re: This is probably a long shot, but anyone been to Borneo?
Posted by AeroFan on 6/15/21 at 10:35 pm to TigerOnTheMountain
Went to Kota Kinabalu a few years ago. It was pretty good.
I booked ORD-MUC for $238rt for Christmas last week. Hopefully, Europe stays open.

Democrats want it because their voters are less likely to show up to vote for the runoff.

re: History Nerds: The most decisive battle fought since the year 1800?
Posted by AeroFan on 6/29/20 at 5:27 pm to RollTide1987
Or how about the battles of Tours, Vienna, and Lepanto? If the Christians had lost any of those battles, then, arguably, Europe would have been converted to Islam 500 or more years earlier than it was.
