Hi everyone, I'm planning to travel to Mexico with my family in February and I'm looking for some recommendations on places to visit. We are interested in exploring the history of Mexico, as well as enjoying some relaxing time on the beach. We have about two weeks to spend there. We are open to suggestions on where to go, what to see, and what to do. One thing that I'm a bit concerned about is the language barrier. I don't speak any Spanish, and I'm not sure how common English is in Mexico. Will this be a problem for me and my family? How can we communicate with the locals and get around without much hassle? I would appreciate any advice or tips from anyone who has been to Mexico or knows the country well. TIA!

Hi! I've already made a couple response posts over on travel companions, about an Nile cruise I went on, but wanted to find a place to introduce myself. I'm a dual US-Italian citizen, with 27 EU countries as my own personal playground; though I'm originally from the US, I've lived in the EU for 25 years now (some of those years being as a teen). I lived in Italy as a teenager and, after going back to the US and living there for 25 years, I took off at 44 years old with nothing to my name, no money and just a couple suitcases, to chase a dream of living back in Italy. Over the following 21 years, I continued traveling solo and have so far lived in 10 countries and at least a couple cities in each. No, I'm not some rich retired person! I was an editor by trade, now retired, and still do some editing and proofing to help supplement my crazy passion for travel. Well, and life and putting food on the table and affording rent, etc. LOL Having usually kept a type of blog or notebook, friends told me I needed to put it all together into a book. I told them they were nuts, even though writing is also a passion of mine (as you can tell by the fact that I cannot physicall write short posts!). a few years later, When Every Road Whispers My Name was published :-) I'm now working on a sequel as I chalked up another couple countries after the final chapter. Though I'm usually a solo traveler, I don't mind traveling with a couple others, especially because cruising (yep, another major passion and my absolute preferred mode of travel) is crazy expensive with solo supplements. Very few lines (but thankfully some!) have zero single supplement. Anyway, I'm getting ready to move from Calabria to Puglia (Bari area) in a couple weeks and will settle for the summer and maybe stay a year or so, not sure yet. But it has a port!! And an excellent high-speed train station and a really good airport with local EU flights. I still have so many places on my bucket list! I'll stop talking now :-)

To get away from the worst months of the British or northern winter I was planning a 4 -5 month road trip from Sydney to Perth or Perth to Sydney via Darwin. I need someone with the time and money to help with sharing expenses. The idea is to hire a camper van and tour via this route alternatively to hire a car and use budget type accommodation.…

I am British but have worked for many years in Africa. As redundancy beckons, I have an idea to set up a dream holiday trip of a lifetime lasting approx 10 -14 days starting from Zanzibar and then travelling on my 10 -15 seater coach from Dar es salaam up to Kilimanjaro region round through Serengeti and onto Zambia victoria falls. I have done this in parts and in whole many times and never tire of the journey [2500km]. I wonder if there is an appetite for such a journey so before I commit, would welcome positive or negative comments from fellow silver surfers. I intend to include flights, accom and food in the price I am 66 btw Kevin Blair
