This is the longest trip I’ve been on as an adult. We started in Italy (Rome, Florence, Venice, Naples), and then boarded a cruise in Naples that’s gone to Civitavecchia (Italy), Mykonos (Greece), Kusadsi (Turkey), and hits Santorini (Greece) tomorrow.

Here’s what I’ve learned:

Packing cubes are good
Packing and unpacking sucks
High-speed trains are great
Regional trains are awful
Cruises are good
I miss having more than one room to call my own
Someone else making all your food is good
Paying for everything nonstop is not so good holy shit my credit card bill
Other people are either wonderful or extremely annoying

One of the rail travel tricks I often use is making a reservation in a different app from where I bought the ticket. For example, for some international connections it is not possible to reserve a seat in the DB app, but I want to buy my ticket from DB to get bonus points, and I want to have a guaranteed seat (happened when I was travelling to Pilsen for Easter). Also I use local apps if I have to take another train than stated on my ticket for whatever reason.

"The future is dangerous. Don't go any further. Please."

Lost in Translation: A fascinating example of how language nuances can change the tone of a message.
The Japanese sign at Hotel Balmoral Karuizawa politely warns of danger ahead, while the English translation takes on a more ominous tone.

Holland America says I'm not allowed to bring a catapult onboard. It says NOTHING about a trebuchet though.

I’m not a huge recommender of things but three apps I find indispensable while travelling are Tripit, Moovit and Splitwise. Tripit lets me keep my itinerary sorted, import confirmations, copies of bookings, tickets etc and Moovit (which I also use in Australia) is a public transport app which I have used all around the world (including Morocco and Vietnam). I wouldn’t have missed my stop yesterday if I had left Moovit on once I was on the train The other one which is fantastic if you are travelling and splitting expenses with others is Splitwise, my friends and I are using it for our Ghan trip since we have all been paying for bits and pieces and it’s easy to lose track. Nothing in this for me, just honest recommendations I hope others might find useful #Travel #TravelTips
