September 2026 :: Montenegro




Miserable experience with Budget car rental at TGD (Podgorica) airport (waiting, paperwork, etc). Hotel Santa Boka in Perast. Kotor Old Town - so charming, so many cats. Jerry drove the Kotor Serpentine like a boss. Pedicure and haircut at an all-Russian spa. Maestral Resort & Casino is so nice, we want to go back. Beach, pool, saunas, indoor waterworks. One of our favorite breakfasts. Next time we should add Sveti Stefan, the private island. Same owner as Maestral. One of the prettiest beaches ever.

August-September 2026 :: Copenhagen


Random hookups with Kim & Garry (and kids), Loretta and Scott (and kids). We liked 71 Nyhaven hotel but next time let's do the Admiral Hotel. Copenhill, Copenhot sauna. Bike with Mike. Everyone loves the anti-trump badge. Smoresbrod from Domhusets takeaway.

August 2026 :: Oslo



The cleanest, quietest city we've ever seen. Huge outdoor concert in front of the royal palace. Hotel Christiana was fine. Excellent bike tour and a fantastic sculpture park. The opera house, the maritime museums, the ferries.
