    Looks great! My sister is on a trip that goes through Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, and London right now. She left last Friday.

    Those are great because you see everything. A little tiring, but worth it

    Holy shit, airfare prices are jacked the fuck up this summer.

    Best value for that July weekend is either Memphis or Mexico City.

    I'm going to Barcelona on June 15th for the start of my first Eurotrip, so this is great to read.

    Definitely do this:
    https://www.casabatllo.es/en/online-tickets/visit-magic-nights/

    Best way to see this Gaudi building. Concert. Drinks. Interactive shit.


    This is the Rickshaw company we used. Its a great way to see the city without tiring your legs the fuck out.
    https://www.puravida.barcelona/

    I thought the all city tour was a bit rushed. I'd buy tix to Sagrada Familia and Park Guell separately if I were you.

    This hotel had a badass roof across from the Old Gothic Cathedral. No admission, just need to buy a drink.



    If you are there on a weekend, go to the Magic Fountain show at Montjuic. Its really awesome.

    I think you're into Futbol? There's a dope soccer store that has retro unis in the Born area.

    I got an East Germany and an OG Real Madrid. A bit pricy though.

    Tap and pay is used everywhere in Spain. So make sure you have a CC that has that capability.

    I am indeed into the Futbol. And my wife is from Venezuela so I think I might have to go get that Venezuelan kit while I'm there.

    Thanks for all the tips!

    $500 if you want to fly to Cancun. $1300 if you want to go to Dallas

    Went to Disneyland yesterday. holy fuck it was crowded.

    Thought Star Wars land was pretty lame. Galaxy's Edge was ok, but Millenium Falcon was trash.

    We were looking at that. Would be interested to see as Tahiti/Bora Bora would be a future trip.

    The things that steered us away right now:

    1. We're not the type to be able to sit at a resort and do nothing for 7 days.
    2. It seems like it'd be pretty similar to Hawaii, but nicer but more expensive.

    At my age it’s about the hospitality. We have heard great things from friends of ours. Hawaii is cool, but other than it being Hawaii, the experience was the same as staying anywhere

    My cousin from New Zealand goes there often and loves it....for seafood, beautiful quiet beaches and relaxation that's my idea of a good time...I like to fish and snorkel so it's right up my alley...last thing I want from a vacation is a loud crowded city with neon and tourists everywhere and I don't drink or gamble so....I think you'll have a great time there!
