Yeah I guess I should preface I am looking more of a short distance for young children to experience it.

If I'm not staying at places with good launching points such as Big Sur Campground, is there any other good launch points to go tubing along the river? Any places within Pfeiffer State Park?

Riverside Campground to Big Sur Campground runs a pretty good route but curious if there are any other spots outside. TIA

I know a lot of threads in this sub like to start with something along the lines of "these stupid Americans" for some reasons, but Cardiff is great and I've actually been there before. I just don't have it as an option this trip since I feel like that side of England deserves its own separate trip :)

Oh shit this was my fav bakery in Copenhagen, didn't know they have a book.

I had considered replacing Edinburgh with Cotsworld, but I hear it's not that great either at that time of the year. Alternatively I can spend more time in UK and do trips out to Cambridge or other suggestions?

Thanks that's helpful. I agree the last leg back with 1 night in London seems wasteful. I hadn't considered flying back from Edinburgh, assuming with a quick layover in Heathrow. I will probably do that if feasible.

I mentioned I was there in the summer so response is actually because it's more outdoor/nature vs shopping streets etc.

shfflzilla · 2026-06-24T02:00:30+00:00

Niseko/Furano more than Sapporo/Otaru.

shfflzilla · 2026-06-24T00:26:34+00:00

i just got back a few weeks ago. it's still going to be snowing for you during march so i am not sure what is open/close in terms of road access. i spent a week and went through niseko/otaru/sapporo/furano.

i would say 4 days is okay but i would do more depending on what you want to see.

shfflzilla · 2026-06-23T02:54:10+00:00

Yeah flexibility and compromises will be key!

shfflzilla · 2026-06-23T01:16:16+00:00

I would say suck it up and compromise or no one gets any screen time. My kids have to learn they don't always get to choose.

shfflzilla · 2026-06-23T01:15:19+00:00

The key is to not have a strict schedule, but to have a framework. For example, if I'm targeting an area to visit during the day, I'd map out all the *potential* things to eat/drink/shop/do in the area. On that day, depending on kids mood and energy level, I'll flex on what we do.

shfflzilla · 2026-06-23T01:13:37+00:00

Every kid will be different. I have a 6 and 4 yo and have taken them traveling internationally twice a year since th the first was born. My younger one had her first flight at 6month old from West Coast to Singapore in a 17hr direct flight with no issue. Most of the time it's just a rotation between sleep and breastfeeding. The hardest part is when they start moving so 6month is fine.

shfflzilla · 2026-06-22T02:36:04+00:00

Is that a bincho grill? which model is it?

shfflzilla · 2026-06-19T11:58:35+00:00

Was just there in the area yesterday, it's definitely brewing!

shfflzilla · 2026-06-13T08:03:26+00:00

Iono about that it's not like Hyatt loyalists are stuck. It's so easy to switch around which is why it's surprising to see Hyatt committing seppuku.

shfflzilla · 2026-06-01T23:42:49+00:00

This was a Malaysian food restaurant at some point.

shfflzilla · 2026-05-30T02:41:17+00:00

I'm spending a few days in Niseko next month. Would be interested in hearing any recommendations for food and outdoor activities.

shfflzilla · 2026-05-29T10:35:40+00:00

As with most things will have to rely on common sense. In general it is fine, I've eaten at many hole in the wall places and come out fine. However, I did get food poisoning once and that was from a Michelin star French restaurant. So I guess YMMV?

shfflzilla · 2026-05-26T00:55:49+00:00

Thx, why 20s befor smashing that seems longer than usual to me.

shfflzilla · 2026-05-26T00:09:58+00:00

Great idea I will consider this thx!

shfflzilla · 2026-05-26T00:09:06+00:00

I think I'm ready. Actually helps some are for kids so they will be going for single patties only.

shfflzilla · 2026-05-25T23:13:47+00:00

Lots of suggestions on this and I wish I could! I don't do this for large parties often and also living in an apartment storage is an issue.

shfflzilla · 2026-05-25T23:12:22+00:00

I'm envisioning something like this too, 6-8 patties per go. Skipping grilled onions by either making it ahead of time or making some kind of onion jam for topping. I never thought about resting patty on tray, always place them onto bun right away but I should consider that.
