ty, mostly just wondering if it’s anymore unbearable than around September when I was there last year. but that was for a work thing and I was in slacks and a button down so in vacation gear I think I’d survive
the beach is literally right across the road and your hotel will have chairs available to hotel guest. Also has the swimming hall of fame and the Hard Rock is a 20 min drive if you want to play not cheap craps or table games but its an exquisite property
June isnt as bad as Sept imo. Water temp is still creeping up but will probably still be bath water by then
August and September are the worst. It will be better. The ocean will also be still cooler at that point and somewhat enjoyable. August it turns into bath water.
COVID ruined a lot of my favorite Miami stuff to do (see: username). Wynwood was a really cool spot to go out but last time I was over there it seemed like they were hellbent on ruining it. Some cool spots over there still but they're throwing up expensive ass condos all over a gentrified industrial area.
Can’t agree with this. There’s days where it’s so hot that even being in the ocean or pool doesn’t the oppressive weather. Shade blocks you from future skin cancer, but offers no relief from the heat.
it’s funny. I’m the exact opposite. I would much rather be super cold than extremely hot and humid. If it’s just hot, it doesn’t bother me. I can get in the pool or in shade. However, when it’s absurdly, humid, there’s no hiding from it. then again, when it’s absurdly cold, I can drive 45 minutes and be skiing. I may feel differently if I did not have that option.
Let’s be clear, ridiculously cold to me is -10° or worse with a windchill driving it lower. I’m. It skiing in that weather regardless.
I am going to brave the heat and humidity and we are staying in Ft Lauderdale instead of Miami. Thank you for your time
Miami hotels all had high redemptions with shit reviews plus we’re gonna rent a car and explore several areas so being on the beach wasn’t a requirement
Hello Team TheMainBoard, Attn Travel Dickheads: 4 day trip with the wife in Montreal, August 1st time there What we do when we travel: Art museums, Architecture, authentic dining (does not have to be Michelin * type shit, just local and awesome), usually locally guided tours, other nerdy shit (we loved visiting the homes of Mozart in Salzburg and Dante in Florence, etc), sometimes a little shopping but she's more nordstrom rack than Hermes and all that Advice/Guidance from yall? Thank you in advance Yours in New Pope, of Soul, Godfather, Esq.
Dublin is indeed overrated. Crowded and chaotic with people and double-decker busses everywhere, relatively ugly, and not much to see.
I may have ranted about this before in here - my memory is hazy - but the new security scanners where you don’t have to take anything out of your bag is the worst technological “advancement” in human history. I don’t have to take my laptop out of my bag and in return have to wait 15 minutes longer because the machine takes super long to assess each bin and flags 75% of them for agent inspection.
Dublin is fine but you need like 2 days. Rest of Ireland is way better once you get to the countryside and small towns
I'm flying tomorrow for the first time in 15 years all this talk about bags, the sizes and weights they must be and where they can and cannot go is stressing me out
but i was looking for something specific that I read somewhere many pages back, a few months ago if i'm looking for restaurant reviews in france, is there a site y'all can recommend? right now i'm relying on google reviews.
50lbs under the plane and you'll likely have ample overhead space for anything you want to put above on a wide body plane on your long haul leg
yeah it is i had 2 trips to europe in 2010 and i guess i just got it out of my system for a long while
michelin guide for france has best curation you also have travel guides in new york times and the Times UK, also can find up to date "36 hours in ...." articles on a conde nast type publication.
Planning a London and Paris trip for the family this summer but unsure of where to stay. I’ve heard Kensington for London but open to recommendations. And clueless about Paris. Kids are 13 and 9. It’s our first time in either city so I imagine we’ll do the touristy things but obviously would love some unknown gems too. Likely spending 4 days in each spot. Thanks!
First time we are taking my son to Paris and Amsterdam in June. Just got an Airbnb a block of the Champs and a houseboat on a canal. Easy walking in both places and plenty of room to spread out.
Also I’m sure the hotel bois will give me shit but (a) if you know my son there is no way I’m getting him his own hotel room abroad, (b) there is no way we are staying in adjoining rooms.
Tangentially, we took a 7 day houseboat cruise in the UK years ago through their canal system and it was absolutely amazing. Great way to see the countryside at 3mph.
I always recommend this place in London: https://www.tophamshotel.net/?td=g0...lKf-oRFIpaLWBdakkyGBnoCavbcxP8xhoC3rkQAvD_BwE It’s reasonably priced, and in a very safe and affluent neighborhood. Buckingham Palace, Parliament, etc. is all walking distance. Victoria Station is two blocks away for a train to anything not walkable. devine stayed there earlier this year or last (can’t remember).
Stayed there last month. Perfect location that’s also like 2 blocks from the train station with 4 people I would recommend two rooms
