Re: Travel Part 2 - Where ya headed?

Thank you much! Keep them coming.

As for the hospital food in Cleveland...I always found it ironic that the Cleveland Clinic (rated "number 1" in cardiac care) had a McDonald's inside.

Well, the Egg McMuffin can be healthy-ish if you tell them to leave the plastic cheese off...

...OK, no one does that. So, not really.

Skyline chili in Cincy

while famous, not a great place to eat.

Booked a trip to Sweden for my wife and I for November. Saw a great deal for flights, under $450 round trip on Delta/KLM, and since we've wanted to make this trip, we jumped on the deal. Now, 11 months of planning.

Wow, nice. That's even cheaper than the flights to Barcelona I've been seeing out of Delta.

Anyone been to Montreal and have recommendations? Still evaluating my destination options for fall.

EDIT: Looked further, and wow MN folks have it good with bb_dl's deal. Same flights from DTW are $1000+, which is not surprising since direct flights between DTW and MSP are usually $500+, "thanks" to Delta's monopoly on that route. So they are obviously making a deal for Scandinavians in MN.

You know, once you're in the EU, you can often jump between other EU countries for <$200 by air. I know it's a heritage trip for you, but I'd look to try and to spend a least a couple days somewhere else.

If you're a Swede, you can stay the hill away from Norway.

Yeah, it was a great deal, which is why we jumped on it. It was actually about $30 cheaper earlier in the day, but we missed out on that fare.

We're actually going to rent a car for half of the trip, to visit some small villages where my family is from, and we will end up pretty close to the Norway border, so thinking of spending a day/night in Oslo. And, Burd, I'm half Swede and half Norwegian, so I can visit either. Haha

Cruising to Nassau (blah), St. Maarten and St. Thomas tomorrow for the week. Should be a fun time.

Please let me know what you think of St. Maarten. It's one of the few Caribbean islands that sounds to me like it might be worth a trip. I have zero interest in St. Thomas, Barbados, and the more "touristy/beachy" ones. If I'm going to tolerate the year-round humidity, I need some good scenery, or a unique culture.

Will do. Obviously only there for like 8-9 hours I think, but I'll give my best review when I get back.

I've heard very good things about St Maarten.

St John is beautiful if you like to snorkel. 3/4 of the Island is a national park.

St. John and St. Maarten are two that are on the list at this point.
