  1. When I tried haggis, the taste reminded of scrapple although the haggis was clearly not pan fried. As the Pennsylvania Dutch came from the Palatinate, I assume scrapple is much like Pfälzer Saumagen.
  2. I recall only seeing options for comprehensive (that includes medical) or medical coverage when I have shopped for individual trip plans, so don’t know whether non medical coverage is available. Definitely worth a call to Trip Insurance Store.
  3. See my reply to your Passau question.
  4. This link took me to search page with a ton of different fans and links. Got one with more specifics? tia
  5. Much of the time, but not always. Much seems to depend upon the airport and what checks one needs (security again and document examination). We have experienced needing two, and in one case three, separate assists. One assist to or through security and document check and a second from security to the plane. In one airport, there was a separate assist through the document and security check. The transitions were not always anything approaching seamless. Fortunately these are the exceptions.
  6. Regardless of the upset, I much prefer a Belgium blonde with moules and frites to any Slovakian alternative.
  7. Belgrade is a very large and spread out city. When we went we had a morning bus tour and saw the major sites from the outside. Rather than return to the ship for lunch we opted to get let off downtown. We wandered around for a bit and stopped at “?” Restaurant - http://belgrademyway.com/kafana-question-mark/ - for lunch. Then wandered over to the park/fortress. All of this was easily walkable. Hopefully the home page for the restaurant link will lead you other things to see or do.
  8. Go to your flights booking online with your record locator and look for special assistance or similar term to click on. Then request wheelchair assistance, you might as well do it all flights. If you can’t spot an appropriate link, search on the airline website for “special assistance.” Still no luck, call airline.
  9. I also expect the baguette to flatten the schnitzel. Or, as this cartoon suggests, the baguette will twist the bretzel.
  10. I don’t know at what age cruise line insurance becomes less expensive than third party coverage, but it’s over 76.
  11. Yes. You may be limited as far as where you can drink it. In our experience it’s usually not a problem on the upper deck, lounge may be another story. It all depends on the hotel manager. It’s easier to get forgiveness than to get permission. If you do drink in the lounge, leave a bit extra in the tip envelope. ETA: Do you need a referral for a discount?
  12. As suggested earlier, you want to go directly to your departure gate in AMS. Don’t be surprised if you have to go through security again before getting from the concourse into the gate area. I’m not certain whether this is routine for flights to the US or just random. We encountered this several years ago, pre pandemic and we’re in a “sterile” that had no facilities, not even toilet, until the flight boarded. Depending on timing you may not want to go directly through secondary security.
  13. You probably know, but buy the insurance in the time frame needed for pre-existing conditions. As a previous poster noted, the price of insurance increases with age, cruise line/travel provider insurance tends to be flat rate. It pays to shop, we use on-line brokers.
  14. Just laundromats for mob money. 😉
  15. Add Euro 2024 to the US Olympic Swimming Trials as well as the US Open. Who has time to eat.
  16. And Albanians trolling Italy supporters, breaking pasta.
  17. I’m not sure about these lines, but when we cruised the Seine with another company the only long ride we had was to the DDay beaches.
  18. Your eyes are accurate. It was intentional. The south facade is parallel to the limited access highway.
  19. So that’s a sore point. Both the “New York” Giants and “New York” Jets play in East Rutherford New Jersey, the “Dallas” Cowboys play in Arlington, and the “Washington” football team plays in Landover Maryland. The Philadelphia Eagles are the only honest team in their division. At least the Raiders have changed their name with each of their many moves.
  20. It’s in the city and right by a major subway line so there are a lot of walkers. But it’s also right by two major highways, so also a lot of drivers. SIL is part of a big tailgate group that includes a number of walkers. Several of whom bring supplies from Phily’s “Italian Market.”
  21. Yep! And it appears. he had a German “playing” the bagpipe.
  22. Sadly, most of the crowds use public transit and walk so they really don’t know how to tailgate.
  23. @notamermaid Thanks for the reminder. It looks like we’ll get most games free here.
  24. Both things can be true. I thought Viking had so many ships in order to facilitate ship swaps 🤷🏻‍♂️
  25. Different meanings of “booty.”
