Emirates Airlines is Just amazing — they’ve never been late for me, but Emirates Airlines Change Policy is a little bit difficult to understand. After searching so much about modification policy, finally, I got a solution by {Airlinespolicy.com }. They have crisp, short, and relevant information about modification, cancellation, check-in, Baggage, and Pet policy. They helped me a lot during the harsh Covid-19 time. I am very thankful to the team of airlinespolicy. Visit here to know more: https://airlinespolicy.com/flight-change-policy/emirates-flight-change-policy/

I consider myself no longer a novice traveler to Europe. I HIGHLY recommend buying EUROs before leaving the states. I use Chase bank, it takes 2-4 days to receive and there is no fee to the bank for ordering. I stay away from ATMs and banks when traveling. You become a target to get robbed. I travel alone and to protect myself, I take my funds with me. I ALWAYS save funds for my next trip. I usually go to Europe twice a year for 6-8 weeks.
COVID has put me three trips behind. When we can start travelling again, pick pockets are going to be a horrible problem I am afraid, so, again, I would stay away from banks and ATMs.
I also recommend NOT to carry all your monies with you while out and about. I stay away from hotels, I use B&Bs for the home away from home feeling.

We did the UK special. England, Wales and Scotland. We were in London for 5 days, then on to Salsbury to go to Stonehenge. While there also went to Bath. Next was Wales, just because. We stayed in Cardiff for 3 days, went to the Welsh Living museum, it was awesome! Then on to Edinburgh Scotland. We took trains for the long haul traveling. 1st class, which was the best. I loved Scotland, had the best time there. We did a tour of Loch Ness, several Whiskey tours and came home with some single malt scotch whiskeys that you can’t get anywhere but Scotland. We spent 4 days there. And they were full days. I don’t count travel days as vacation days.

Great post! I’m planning to visit Lisbon in May. My Iberia flight arrives in Barcelona at around 4:30pm. I’m thinking of flying to Lisbon early evening 7-8pm arriving in Lisboa in 2hrs.

My dilemma is whether to fly the same day to Lisboa or fly the following morning. My main concern is what if my flight from US is delayed and I will miss my flight from BCN to LIS.

Also is it pretty safe to arrive late at night in Lisbon? Would love to hear suggestions/advise. Thank you.

I agree that you do not need rental car from day one or even start thinking about discovering Europe by existing and quite dense network of trains/buses. There are even places in cities where you can put your luggage for a small charge so do not need to carry. It can be a locker in train station or even a shop. You can download Luggagehero or bagbnb app ,than search for available places in the city.

Also can consider to take door to door bus services from one place to another, which sounds extra money but actually it is affordable and easy, like Eurobusways
