If you don't like crowds just don't book a Caribbean cruise on a mega ship or anything like that, as reality is, there's crowds. That's not be said that too can't find quiet places to sit and relax away from said crowds, not to mention your own balcony if you book a balcony stateroom, but there will be times that it'll be very peoplely.

A more mature cruise line like celebrity, on an itinerary that's less likely to have the party atmosphere and will have an older clientele would be more your alley I think. We're nearing the age where we're thinking of this as well.

As for the canalboats, those have been on my radar for a few years now and look totally up my alley, however I looked a year or so back and they were quite expensive. And then there's the whole thing of unfortunately not having infinite amounts of vacation time. I can't imagine doing that sort of adventure for anything less than two weeks all in

Stayed on one years ago before they were trendy. Be prepared for the stink. If you’re used to the smell of the sea, be prepared… it’s not that, you’ll be treated to a nice mix of stinkpot diesel and sewers.
 
Spotted in the wild;

Done up R1. Super rare to see a litre bike here, I imagine because the imported tax is close to the vehicle price.

And of course, gotta tuck into some amazing Khao Soi!

Weirdest thing here is all the good restaurants (roadside or fancy) have long lineups and waits
 
While working in the garage today trying to get things organized enough to put the new ride in there I had the TV on and Youtube was just going through some random travel videos. At one point one came on where a dude wandered around in India, rode public transit, stayed in various "hotels" (using the tern loosely), ate at some "restaurants", street food, etc etc.

I scratched India off my "places I'd like to go to experience" list afterwards. It wasn't super high on the list to begin with, to be fair.

I've been to India once, a working month in Hyderabad 25 years back. I know why the city is not just called Hydura.

I had interest in a MC trip, and I got close pre-pandemic on taking a guided tour to the Shimla and the Routan pass in the Himalayas. I doubt I'd do it now, but those Himilian motorcycle videos sure are captivating, if I was 20 years younger I'd probably still have my eyes on making that adventure..

He’s a slightly toned down @Lightcycle

Quit his job and has been travelling the world on a motorcycle. He’s on these forums but not active.

That’s like watching a dude walk around Yonge street and writing off Canada

Some people like gated communities in Florida, more power to them 🤷

I like gated communities in Florida!

During the last hurricane in 2022, flood waters came up over the gates in our community. About 100 pigs swam in, then looted the place.

Gates work.

'Drugged, robbed, killed': The city catching US tourists in dating trap

Relatives of men killed in Medellin after meeting local women for dates are now searching for answers.

Medellin is known for sex tourism which has conversely created an industry of criminals that prey on foreigners looking to date. It is pretty well known, stay off the dating apps in Medellin unless you want to be robbed or worse. Google scopolamine...

Great city otherwise, been a few times now.
