  1. Have you finished the book: “The Wager”? Is it a bad time to ask that question?
  2. That’s interesting. Thanks for the assessment.
  3. Thanks! There were a fair number out and about when we were there 4 years ago. Glad to hear that there is relative quiet on the streets. Looking forward to more posts from you and uktog!
  4. Thanks for the reminders of the fascinations of Buenos Aires. Given the recent election and political excitement, were police in evidence in the neighbourhoods you visited?
  5. Using TripAdvisor for guided tours in Saguenay this summer that include the fjord and National Park, there seems to be only one provider right now and the price is about $300. CAD for two. Perhaps more providers will appear as summer approaches. Already some of this company’s tour dates are fully booked. The $800. CAD tour seems to be for a gastronomic experience at a farm, hosted by a chef. In our experience, that seems to be the usual price on AZ for this type of tour.
  6. And the HOHO service in Barcelona offers several options, all of which are excellent in our view. We used it in the evening when it was much less crowded.
  7. Host Jazzbeau, you may recall that when Viking was in the midst of its rapid expansion of the river boat fleet there was ensuing speculation on the River Cruises forum that the company was in financial difficulty. Of course some of this was based on anger that Viking was changing the nature of river cruising and some was concern about payment windows. We know how those speculations turned out. Of course, each person/couple have to be comfortable with their own assessment of risk. And goodness knows that in the world presently there are considerable sources of risk.
  8. In the distant past, I can remember flyers applauding when the plane touched down. Sounds like that pilot earned a standing ovation! Of course, once the signal to unbuckle seat belts was given. Glad you are safe and hope the same for everyone else in the British Isles. I heard of one plane headed from London to Dublin that ended up landing in Paris.
  9. Good news for the skiers in Vermont! I see that The Woodstock Center is posting “excellent” conditions for its trails, and hot cocoa to replenish some fluids.
  10. Gorgeous sky! We too are in the midst of a “cold snap”. This a.m, the temp was -14 C with a wind chill of -22 C. But this has been the exception as the winter has been quite warm. Only this week has there been consistent skiing on slopes and trails.
  11. If possible, pre-ordering is the most efficient and most thoughtful way to go.
  12. Apologies, I should have realized you were still away from home. If you are at a hotel will they arrange a consultation? Wishing you a speedy recovery.
  13. I would respectfully suggest that your local Family Doctor or a GI specialist would be a far more reliable source. There are also medical centres that help with maladies acquired during travels to a foreign land.
