Netflix has some pretty strict geo-restrictions, meaning what you can watch depends on where you are. But don’t worry, You can use a VPN service to make it seem like you’re still back home, bypassing those pesky location restrictions. Just make sure to pick a VPN that’s reliable and has servers in your home country.

MemberFebruary 22, 2024 at 9:50 am in reply to: Is 1 Hour Enough Time To Connect At Reykjavik RKV Airport?Since RKV is a smaller airport, a 1-hour connection should be okay if your incoming flight is on time and you don’t have to go through customs or immigration.
However, it’s always safer to have a longer layover, especially if you’re worried about potential delays or if you want some buffer time to explore the airport or grab a snack.
If possible, aim for a 2-hour layover to be on the safe side.

I’d suggest checking out the Grand Hyatt Dubai.
It’s got a great location, awesome amenities, and falls within the category 4-6 range.
Plus, it’s got a fantastic pool area and some seriously delicious dining options.
Definitely worth considering for a memorable stay!

MemberFebruary 22, 2024 at 9:39 am in reply to: What’s Best Gothic Quarter Hotel In Barcelona?The Gothic Quarter in Barcelona is a very lively place.
I was there the previous summer and really enjoyed walking through its small streets.
The H10 Montcada Boutique Hotel really impressed me because it is located directly in the center of the Gothic Quarter, which means you can easily walk to all the important places.
Additionally, it features a rooftop terrace that offers beautiful cityscapes and clear views of the nearby Barcelona Cathedral.
If you want to explore some interesting activities in Barcelona, I suggest checking out this local guide, GoWithGuide Barcelona
I booked a walking tour with them through their website, and it was such a great way to see the city from a different perspective.
Enjoy your time in Barcelona! 🍻

When you visit Lisbon, it is important to see the old Alfama area, try a pastel de nata from Pastéis de Belém and ride on a tram along the quaint roads.
In Porto, you should go to the Ribeira district because of its bright houses and views of the river; also make sure to taste port wine in the warehouses over Douro River.
Regarding Sintra, the Pena Palace takes your breath away, and if you walk up to the Castle of the Moors you are rewarded with amazing views.
Concerning the ways of travel, public transport in Portugal is quite reliable, especially in urban areas.
Trains are good for moving from one city to another, while buses allow you to reach little towns or places less visited.
If you want adventure, hiring a car lets you go freely to distant locations, though it is not required if using public transportation suits your preference.
I hope this is useful to you.
Have a good journey and embrace all the beautiful things that Portugal presents for you.

MemberFebruary 16, 2024 at 1:53 am in reply to: How Good Are FareDrop Premium Flight Deals?I’ve used FareDrop before and honestly, it can be hit or miss.
Sometimes the deals are amazing and totally worth it, but other times they might not have exactly what you’re looking for.
Since you’re eyeing a specific trip for two, it might be worth checking out some other flight comparison sites too, just to weigh your options.
Also, consider signing up for fare alerts directly from airlines flying that route.
Sometimes they have sales or special promotions that can beat third-party deals.

MemberFebruary 7, 2024 at 1:15 am in reply to: How Bad Are Green Motion, Right Cars, Or Priceless Car Rental?I’ve actually rented from Green Motion at Fort Lauderdale Airport before.
Yeah, they tend to be cheaper, but I gotta say, the experience was kinda meh.
The car was fine, but the service was a bit slow and they tried to upsell me on a bunch of stuff I didn’t really need.
If you’re okay with a bit of hassle for the sake of saving some cash, it might be worth it.
But if convenience and peace of mind are more your thing, maybe look into other options.

If your hotel’s modern, go for it, but boil for taste or use a handy reusable bottle and city refill stations.
Bringing a purifier is never overkill, but consider packing space!
Enjoy your trip!

For kosher options in Rome, check out the Aleph Hotel (Hilton).
In Venice, the Bauer Palazzo is a good bet.
Both offer kosher breakfast.
Enjoy your family vacation! 🌍✈️

It works with both Samsung and non-Samsung devices, so it should be compatible with the Google Pixel.
