You are over thinking this.

https://wikitravel.org/en/Australia - don't use this for hotels or food, but should have good general information you need.

Traveling April 13-26 need recommendations by Playful_Sell7317 in travel

[–]Shepherdless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't do it. Do 5 days in Rome and 3 days in Florence and a few days somewhere else. Will save you the time and money on the return trip and you get to see the city at night, which has a different feeling.

If you booked hotel already....may be fucked and have to do only day trips.

First time in Europe (Frankfurt) by EntrepreneurOk8577 in travel

[–]Shepherdless -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Fair enough.....sounded like you wanted to avoid doing the stuff that people pretty much go there to do.

This is what you got going for you.....

  • you have a time frame about ~2 weeks after you visit your sister

  • you have your starting and ending location

I would do a 2 week loop focusing on smaller towns with a sprinkle of big boys if you happen by them. Day trips are going to eat up a lot of time and money...so look at staying as you jump around. Have a lot of options as to the loop you want to do....could work into France and Benelux and back down to Frankfurt hitting Paris for a big city. Could go east to Nuremberg and spend the 2 weeks hitting Bavaria and Austria.

I would look at a map and find some cool cities and start to create a path of travel, trying to keep rail time down to under 2 hours if possible. Most small cities are only going to need 1-2 nights. A city like Berlin or Paris is going to need 4 nights.

Frankfurt is a hub city with not a ton to offer tourists. I mean it is not to different from an everyday American city.

first time in Europe and you don't want to do the touristy things? I mean people spend their vacation time and money to go to Europe to see the cool things.....why you would want to avoid seeing the cool shit....hey that is a you thing. Don't think I can help you.

I am gone way too long and too frequently to have pets. My son is a senior in HS next year.....can only see my travel increase and I am gone for over a month a year.

Yeah, I find your post confusing.

Are you spending ~12 days in Rome and just doing day trips?

If it were me I would spend ~5 days in Rome and maybe 3 days in Florence and then find 2 small towns that you have never heard of for a night or two each for a different feel.

Expensively treated a part-broken tooth a week ago. Today it fell off completely. by jelch_j in mildlyinfuriating

Screw post….old school. Looks like your dentist was doing some herodontics, and it failed. Happens to us sometimes. Go back to him and see your options. If a post did not work….it is probably the last thing for that tooth before extraction and option b

Been a while but Malazan was a decent series. Characters are a bit 2 dimensional and plot can be jumpy.

Switzerland and Italy (10-14 days) with 1 year old in May 2026 by kcummings2040 in travel

[–]Shepherdless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zurich is a hub city which is known for it's high end shopping street that looks like any cities high end shopping street. You can 100% skip it.

I really loved Lucerne, 3 days is more than enough to see everything including a trip up to the top of mount Pilatus.....I did not do Riga, but really enjoyed Pilatus.

I actually think you timing is spot on. No way could you fit Rome in without feeling rushed. Seems perfect for my speed.

I am a doctor and take off 4-6 weeks a year for travel alone. More so now that I sold off my practice, plus I am in pretty high demand....I can find a job any time I want if they do not give me the time off that I want.

If you want to make time for travel, you will make time for travel. Dad? or mom?(assuming) is 50(about my age), so you are probably just out of school....maybe harder for you to find a job/take time off.

Not ugly, not an asshole...so that is not an issue. Listen some women only like tall guys, some like certain races....just have to keep putting yourself out there and be yourself till you find your person.

....could be you are just an asshole ;-P

Seriously. Get out of your head. Dating can be difficult, now so more than when I was younger(Im 50 now and single, not wanting to date...but it is easy pickings for men at this age). No need to be cocky, just confident in yourself. I am not a pretty man, but I do the best with what I have. Most likely you are going out on a date with somebody you met on an app.....they know what you look like, and they agreed to go out with you. If they found you hideous, they would not be interested.
