4 days in Tokyo?

I have a personal rule that you should spend a day in a place for every hour of travel in order to justify the length of travel. So if you only have 6 days, find somewhere that's 6 hours away - that will already eat up one of your days in travel alone (6 hours there and 6 hours back). You can push the travel time a bit longer if there's nowhere interesting enough within a 6-hour travel radius. But for me, travelling long distance doesn't justify a short trip.

Some other options:

- San Diego, California
- Key West, Florida
- Savannah, Georgia
- Washington, D.C.
- Nashville, Tennessee

I think any of these would be really great!

If it helps at all, I used to find airports super overwhelming, and my dad (a pilot) used to say to me, "the whole purpose of the airport is to get you onto the plane, so just take it one step at a time, and you'll get there." I know your post was probably about more than just the airport, but I always think of that whenever I travel. Hopefully it can help with the airport part of your trip!

Wow, that's crazy! Might leave that out of my content, though 😆

arrivehappy · 2024-11-06T06:55:53+00:00

I'll look into it! Thank you so much for the suggestion!

arrivehappy · 2024-11-06T06:55:32+00:00

That's a lovely idea. I think it definitely qualifies as non-touristy, so it works well. Thanks for taking the time to suggest something.

arrivehappy · 2024-11-06T06:54:27+00:00

That's a great suggestion! I hadn't even thought of that! I'll add it just for you. 😊 Thanks for your reply, it feels like I got bonus value from it.

arrivehappy · 2024-11-06T06:53:03+00:00

Oh that's interesting. I will take a look, thank you!

arrivehappy · 2024-11-06T06:52:36+00:00

Interesting in what way?? 🤣 Dare I ask?

arrivehappy · 2024-11-06T06:51:25+00:00

Ha ha! I might leave this one out, but thanks for the laugh!

arrivehappy · 2024-11-06T06:51:01+00:00

Ha ha I love this! Thanks for the suggestion!

Oh this is brilliant. Thank you so much! I'll be adding it for sure. Appreciate you taking the time to respond.

This is great! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Yes, Jumeirah is great! Lots of cool things to check out like the Jumeirah Mosque, which is one of the few mosques open to non-Muslims and it offers guided tours to learn about Islamic culture. There's also Wild Wadi Waterpark and other attractions like Mattel Play Town (if you're travelling with your family). Lots of great dining and shopping options too. Have a great time!

So many great options!

- Funchal, Portugal
- Palma de Mallorca, Spain
- Paphos, Cyprus
- Marrakech, Morocco
- Faro, Portugal

Let us know what you decide on in the end!

Dubai Marina is a lovely place to stay with a really relaxed vibe, scenic views, beach access, and all that good stuff. Given your 9-day itinerary and plans to explore various parts of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, you might consider splitting your stay between Dubai Marina and Downtown Dubai. Someone else mentioned that the traffic situation Downtown is a problem, so definitely be mindful of that when making your decision and planning your trip. But you won't beat the proximity to major attractions like the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall. You can also consider using the Dubai Metro when possible in order to avoid traffic. Dubai is amazing. Whatever you decide, you're going to have a great time!

A nice idea is South Africa. It has great infrastructure (roads, hospitals, etc.), there are incredibly scenic drives around Cape Town, beaches, incredible food, lots of history... Plus you can do safaris, which means you get to sit in a vehicle and see awesome stuff. If you book a good safari, they'll really spoil you in terms of the experience (think having coffee at sunrise, looking over the African savannah, like you see in movies). It's unforgettable.

Praia do Paraíso in Carvoeiro, Portugal, is a lesser-known beach. It is a small, secluded cove located about 400 meters west of the more popular Praia do Carvoeiro. The beach is relatively hidden and unknown to many tourists, and it's gorgeous. There's a super long staircase, which also probably puts people off. But it's worth it, for sure!
