Suggestions for Vacations and Tour Groups for June

[Chad Constantine]

Hey Guys,

 

I originally wanted to go to Australia this year but got greedy when I saw I could finally get a summer vacation.

So now I really can not make up my mind on where I want to go. I have some thoughts but figured y'all could

maybe add some countries I have never even thought of based on places you have been or want to go.

Too many variables.

 

Responses could be two weeks in the wilderness on a photography expedition -

 

or jet setting to as many hot casinos as possible.

 

You need to give the community here some more guidance on what you’re looking for.

 

Do you have days or weeks?

 

Is cost a major factor?

It's hard to give recommendations when one doesn't know where you are, where you have been, what you like to do when you are on vacation, how much you want to spend, etc.

Stockholm is beautiful in the summer, and the newly revived neighborhoods are interesting, especially those close to the Baltic Sea.

I have no problem letting yall know where I have been.

I have a month off so I have time to go anywhere. Cost is a small factor I am not trying to spend over 10k.

I am foodie so I am all about trying new and unique types of cuisines everything else is icing on the cake.

I am tying to get ideas outside my little box so any response is a correct response.

Internationally I have been to Japan, China, Korea, Spain, France, and Canada.

Nationally: NY, MA, FL, CT, GA, SC, PA, VT, ME.

I was actually thinking going to Sweden for Lent so I can try their Semlor which is traditionally made during that time. They may not make Kiviaq but I was also insterended in trying their femented fish dishes like Surstromming. Do you think it is worth it to get a Eurail pass?

[+ WilliamM]

Stockholm is best in the summer because of nothern European winters and seasonal darkness (like St. Petersburg, Russia). So I would suggest near the of the end of lent. I usually do not buy a rail pass because it is easy to fly in Europe. The food is wonderful in Sweden. I stayed two weeks, and wished for more time.

Maybe a river cruise. You only have to unpack once.

 

Some vessels have single staterooms. But cheaper if you can share a room.

Food is typically very good.

Crew is very pampering.

Prague

Prague

Not the world’s top destination for food, sorry, and that seems to be the OP’s main interest. Of course, if you are talking boys, that’s a completely different story

California is the most beautiful state. It won’t disappoint.

[+ WilliamM]

Food mainly: Paris, Munich, Florence

[+ Charlie]

I see you have never been west of the Mississippi. The West is full of spectacular scenery, and there is plenty of food and wine (especially wineries) to sample on the coast. For a complete change of pace, there is always India; the best Indian food is in good Indian hotel restaurants.

[alkan]

How about Thailand? It would seem to be sufficiently different from your previous trips and has a particular approach to food.

[Chad Constantine]

I have found Barbados to be the sophisticated Caribbean with some nice culinary options.

 

Couple that with some island hopping...

 

Did you get to try the flying fish? My coworker can’t stop talking about when she comes back from being home in Barbados

I would but already have plans to go their in 2020. My friend is doing missionary work there for 2 years but since the 1 year she can’t have any visitors planning to see her in 2020.

Never really thought of India before. Thanks one of my classmates goes back and forth with his wife to see his family. I will have to ask if he would be interested in taking us around India. I have to see if there are any special events done in Mississippi for me to go see.

But it definitely has a lot of unique foods. I am not just a foodie I like learning about different cultures though I do have a heavy interest in Asian cultures. I love trying new things so you don’t have to focus just on foods.

 

How are the best food though the Prague guys?

California is the most beautiful state. It won’t disappoint.

I have been wanting to go to Cali especially for K-Con but it’s closer to the last on my list. I don’t know if it’s just a Spanish thing but once I land I would be meeting every cousin, aunt, and uncle in the state so not really a vacation.

What! I’m surprised San Sebastián, Spain isn’t on that foodie list lol

Thanks I had been overlooking river cruses and just looking at guides/escorted tours. I will have to starting checking them out.

What would you say is a must see/do?

 

 

It's by far the most beautiful and historic huge city. Mostly pre-1400. It's also incredibly inexpensive for 5* hotels and restaurants. Many UK tourists come for the inexpensive new restaurants. Czechs are beautiful and friendly. Most porn is filmed in Prague and every other guy on the street is a gay porn star. The old Carlsbad spa town nearby is amazing. Berlin. Dresden, Vienna and Budapest are closeby. Did I mention the gay porn stars?

 

Ive traveled Europe a lot and Prague is my favorite home-away-from home.Everyone I know agrees on Prague being the best.

Singapore has fantastic food culture, especially street food. You could easily combine it with a trip to Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City or Cambodia/Siem Reap.
