Wendy The Wanderer

I'm not a single but we've befriended singles in the past. No need to just stick with other solo travelers. Trivia, excursions and shared tables are good for facilitating mingling. Many couples are not joined at the hip.

Okay, so this is a token by the sounds of it. We lost something similar when we cancelled the 2021 WC, for obvious reasons.

That's disappointing, don't remember this in the past. As for CR, there's no excuse for bad acoustic architecture--this should be integral to the design from the get-go.

Your photos and commentary are so amazing, I'm so grateful. Never got to Japan, always wanted to.

Thanks for the great photos of Bangkok. Brings back fond memories.

Mostly, I'm happy not to see the CD, as long as he does a good job.

I would do that if you can. I assume you'd get a small credit for opting out of the air one way.

We loved the Biltmore.

Yes, you'll be fine Richard. David wore shoes like that for years.

Perhaps if they ask well in advance, but in general, I would not count on it. NA wine, probably.

Bring your own binoculars. Worth it to buy a new pair, trust me. We each had our own pair.

Varies by region. French Polynesia is usually great from May to October. We were in Singapore and Thailand in February, great time of year.

I found the specialty restaurants on Riviera all overdone and rather ersatz. And the MDR quite lacking compared to Regent. Then again, La Reserve was exquisite.
