If I were to travel to Budapest, does anyone have any suggestion as to which district I should stay in? Solo traveler, but not a party person. Chill is the vibe. Thanks in advance, espeically if you are native to Budapest.

I envy you, not just for the opportunity to travel to a historic city,
but to be able to inject into any conversation at parties with "When I
was in Budapest..."

Ha! I don't have conversations that are so interesting. And... I haven't made it yet, this is my second attempt, the first trip didn't work out for various reasons. The air travel system is a mess, and everything costs 2X now.

I do have a "When I was in Budapest" story actually...
Unfortunately, I never get invited to parties so it's left untold since
about 1998.

I've worked with people that travel a lot. You should really talk
To a travel agent. They can probably help in a lot of ways and provide a lot
Of useful information. It's their job to make you have a great experience.

I have not been to Budapest, but... oh the stories I could tell you about the adventures that young Navy sailors with money in their pockets get into over in the Pacific theater... Places like Olongapo, Phuket, Bali, South Korea, Melbourne, Perth, Diego Garcia, Mombasa, Hong Kong, Singapore, and more. Honestly I don't think many people who haven't done that could even imagine some of the things that would be described... Hahaha, all true though.

I think that is not bad advice, but asking for ideas elsewhere is actually a good thing to do if you are trying to come up with a vacation plan.

See, most people visiting Spain with an agent is likely to be led to a reduced number of popular options. That is easier for the agents and works for most tourists. However, if you ask around you are very likely to get suggestions an agent would not give you.

This is specially true in old European countries in which every lost village has a 5th Century fortification of Historical significance, and you can probably get a tour for it.

I couldn't believe Southwest went from no-frills "cattle call" seating
to reserved seating where the only free seats were center seats in the
back, and every other seat had an upcharge. :(

The fact that you could get most anywhere on the west coast on
Southwest every hour or two and just get on the plane was refreshing.

To hear stories about them not allowing people to move around to empty
seats once in flight just adds insult to injury.

My father went into the navy right after Korea and spent 2 years on a
minesweeper in the Pacific. Tiny little thing, all wood construction,
brass fittings most places to avoid being magnetic. He had a box full
of business cards from Tokyo "Soldier's Clubs", most advertised
proximity to the naval base, "friendly girls" and strong drinks.

Yep, friendly girls and strong drinks is a perfect summary. :-)

I predict they'll be out of business, or "absorbed" by another airline,
in under two years.

They're not even cheaper than the others, any more.
