keeping a running list of hotels is such a good tip! I recently started doing this and it’s a great starting point when I’m thinking about next places to visit - some hotels are worth planning a trip around!

I also recently had to get an emergency passport for visa pages - this tool was super useful / reassuring to confirm that it would be accepted where I was travelling. there are a few countries like France and the Netherlands that won’t accept US emergency passports! (the emergency passport journey was my entire personality for at least 2 weeks):

I’m 6ft, my kids are both taller and my husband is 6ft 6. It genuinely makes things really difficult when people recline but we get it, and pay extra for premium economy now on long hauls, because otherwise my husband and son actually just have to stand up if the person in front reclines! I’m all for people sleeping on planes and on a night flight, would fully expect a recline to do so, but is it entirely necessary to recline the minute you can, and stay there for the entire flight? No, it’s not! It’s a hot topic!

Piping hot topic! I do understand that the debate differs based on height and size. Thanks for chiming in with your perspective!

The reclining seat! I’m always filled with rage whenever someone does it to me 😂. I’ve only ever reclined my seat twice and both times I had the person behind me repeatedly kick/hit the chair until I moved it back, which has put me off ever doing it again!

Love!! So helpful and so many tips. The reclining the seat thing is such a hot topic too— I’m always torn, I want to be able to recline, but then I’m annoyed when someone else does it to me😂 so I’m going to try being okay with it but ughhh
