  1. Rob the Slob

    Madrid vs Porto?

    Both cities are wonderful, although Porto is perhaps slightly more picturesque. However, tourist numbers in Porto are rising explosively, from what I've heard, so you might want to make it a priority now before it turns into another Dubrovnik or Venice.

    Flight departure points

    I'll have a moan: it takes me 5 minutes to walk to the station, then 17 minutes by train from Leiden to Schiphol. I'll probably spend more time waiting around at the airport than I will actually travelling to get to Madrid. :)

    Backpack in the Hold?

    I'll be checking my rucksack, but it's an Osprey Atmos AG and I don't want to risk the mesh getting damaged. So here's what I'm doing: I'm taking my wife with me to Madrid, with a hardshell suitcase. Pack the rucksack inside the suitcase, treat the wife to a nice weekend in Madrid, then she...

    Last year my wife was flying from Aruba to St. Maarten by way of Curacao and she almost missed her connection, even though it's a 20-minute flight and she had a four-hour stopover. Apparently people had too much in the way of carryon luggage, so the pilot told them to pile it up in the toilet...

    When you're strange...when you're strange...when you're...strrrrrange....

    Some years ago I went to the States with a couple of friends and drove round the Southwest. I was going home from the Grand Canyon after two weeks while they continued to Las Vegas and San Francisco. The ticket I had booked was from Grand Canyon to Phoenix to Chicago to Amsterdam.
