KelownaCanucksFan Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 In Thailand right now, Ko Toa is amazing did 6 days of scuba diving, wanted to stay forever. The nightlife on Ko Toa is fun, found one place that turns all their restaurants tables into beer pong tables, fun time meeting people from all over the world. I’m Currently in Bangkok, it is a crazy city, could get into lots of trouble here if not careful. Travel for this year is 3 weeks in the cook islands in September, and 2 weeks in Cuba for Christmas Over the summer lots of trips to the okanagan for fly fishing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureFilm Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Lucky to have been all over the west and east coasts of the USA. Brother lives in LA so the last few years have done road trips to check out other states on our way to Cali. Lived in Massachusetts as a kid so thats how I got the east coast covered. 2018 - Nashville, Boston (this was a sports related trip), Turks and Caicos 2019 - Europe....England, France and Switzerland for sure.

Tooth_Fairy Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) Those of you who are planning a trip to Russia, you shouldn't repeat my mistake. Turns out there is a whole list of the grounds for the ban on entry to Russia. I got denied. The article I linked is in Russia, but with google translate or the alternatives it's not a big deal, especially compared to what happened to me. So much time and money wasted.

Tortorella's Rant Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Those prices are factoring in the exchange differences aren't they? Otherwise I really fail to see the point of driving down there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise I really fail to see the point of driving down there Even if they weren't, it works out to like 1.05 canadian per liter. That's not worth it to you? You'd rather pay 60 cents more per liter? Factor in bringing jerry cans, and it makes it even more worthwhile than it already is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Am.Ironman Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Any body have some tips for Switzerland? We are looking at the interlaken area. We will have about 3-4 days and need to finish in Milan. Any input is appreciated. We are looking at getting a swiss rail pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm I was thinking of a taking a quick trip to Vladivostok from Vancouver since the flight is only 8 hrs, and then taking the Tran-siberian railway across Russia to Moscow. I heard getting a Russian visa is harder to obtain than other countries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be prepared for some serious prices. Lucerne is probably the closest to Zurich and the most popular lake to visit in that area. Zurich has some nice parks where you can bbq and have a drink, would recommend that if you're spending time in Zurich and looking to keep costs down. My wife and I took our two friends to dinner. They purposefully picked a moderately price restaurant, didn't have appetizers, and only order a 1/2 L of wine and it still ran us $300+. It is a good city to bike around though. They take their weekends seriously, especially Sunday. Its mostly time spent with families. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just need to sort out whether we enter from Italy and exit via Italy or enter through Germany and exit into Italy (we fly into Frankfurt). We plan on only spending a few days to keep costs down and will spend most of our time in the southern alps around Lauterbrunnen I think. Did you take any trains in the alps and/or between the towns in the area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
