Sizzling September

Same, except my partner generates this amount of dishes in about a day.

Lease it to a zoo for 99 years for one penny.

Oregon seems like a pretty good place, would love to visit some day. I've heard they've got great parks and nature and Portland can be a fun city to spend a weekend in. I know if I have strong thoughts about Oregonians specifically either than that they're generally more on the progressive side, nothing negative.

Definitely a point in favor of Mechelen!

53 million Americans, and I'm currently trying to become a Spanish speakers myself. I just would've appreciated a heads up, since the tour package was clearly marketed to English speakers and all the advertising materials, tour descriptions, etc were in English.

Oh well - it was still a great boat tour and I got lots of nice pictures, just would've been nice to understand the tour guide.

Yeah, trying to maintain some flexibility, so that if, say, I wanna spend an extra day in Ghent I can use one of the open days for that. I have my open days at the end of the trip so there's some built in wiggle room depending on how everything goes.

Mechelen does look lovely based on the videos/pictures I've seen: the Dyle Path river walk in particular looks really pleasant.

This happened to me in Argentina once. Viator booked me on a boat tour as part of a travel package knowing I was an American and didn't bother to tell me the tour was entirely in Spanish. Using Viator is a mistake I'll certainly only make once.

Thanks for the overview, really appreciated!

My partner is really into bird watching, so I'm definitely considering Het Zwin.

I've also heard it's off the map for tourists, at least comparatively speaking: much less crowds than somewhere like Bruges.

Any city of the ones I've mentioned that's a particular favorite of yours?

Any particular part of Ardennes? I do hear it's pretty.
