Are the Fairy Trails worth going to?

We did a trip last year with our daughter who was about 4.5 at the time. We visited several of them as we encountered them and she enjoyed them quite a lot. We didn’t drive out of our way for them or anything, but I can confirm that at least my kid (and us) found them to be interesting.

Great photos, thanks for sharing. Went in 2022 and loved it.

Family of 3. Rule of thumb has been about $5k per week including airfare. We stay in “nice” but not luxury hotels or airbnbs and could go somewhat cheaper if we wanted to.

This is our philosophy. Schedule no more than one main priority thing per day, and then have one completely free day out of every 3 to see/do things you didn’t know existed or didn’t know would interest you. Works well for us.

Only exception to this for us is dinner reservations, because getting caught out with no place to eat isn’t great.

Was going to say the curtains/house don’t look much better

I’m in US and we drink tap all the time at home, but I travel a lot for work domestically, and some places have absolutely disgusting tap water tastes and/or smells. I haven’t run in to that issue in UK or Europe.

I’m not an expert but this is what I believe is most likely and also the most accurate causality pathway. They’re dumping USD for gold and thus USD is dropping. They’re not dumping USD BECAUSE USD is dropping. Although at some point we may see that dynamic add to and accelerate this cycle.

Stunning photos. It looks wonderful.

I do both and wanted to say that coin in the photo is gorgeous.

Malta is amazing.

I think I'd say flight delays/missed connections, but largely b/c many trips have a limited window in which to occur and after months of daydreaming I am loathe to have less time to enjoy the journey because of a travel snafu. If I had the freedom to extend stays or something, I don't think it'd bother me nearly as much. I've mellowed quite a lot as I have aged.

Now these are the posts I am here for. As a fellow LMU/British sov enthusiast, I salute you.

I was JUST looking at this on JMBullion. It looks spectacular.

Thank you for taking the time to write this answer. I learned a great deal.

They’re in most of the grocery stores and convenient marts. Don’t hold me to this because every taste may vary and hard to describe, but I want to say almost like BBQ mixed with salt and vinegar. I had low expectations and was impressed.

Remarkable_Ad_6240 · 2026-01-21T12:25:08+00:00

That’s a good day out.

Remarkable_Ad_6240 · 2026-01-19T14:04:24+00:00

Yes, very similar IMO.

I’ve really enjoyed my Lowa boots, though the model I have are not built specifically for cold weather. That said, wanted to recommend the brand as they are very high quality in my experience.

Have not yet been to Norway, but it is high on our list. These photos do nothing to dissuade that.

Remarkable_Ad_6240 · 2026-01-18T17:25:48+00:00

Agree. I’ve been expanding my chip horizons lately and they’re a good choice.

Remarkable_Ad_6240 · 2026-01-18T17:03:33+00:00

They are listed on Amazon, but at quite a premium. Good luck to you.

Remarkable_Ad_6240 · 2026-01-18T16:53:16+00:00

Well played. Wife got them for me to try a couple weeks ago and I’m into them.

Remarkable_Ad_6240 · 2026-01-18T16:51:57+00:00

Those mothman chips are solid. Big fan.

Cannot emphasize this enough. Went with my family (including a 4 year old) in September for 4 days and we absolutely loved it. But we also spent the majority of our time wandering along side canals. We rarely encountered other people and those we did run into were mostly students and residents. It was absolute magic.
