As my Chicago trip winds up, I feel the need to share some of my experience in the so-called Windy City. Late April/early May, the weather for the most part has been almost perfect. Not too hot and not too cold. Chicago reminds me of NY in a lot of ways. It usually gets compared to Canadian city Toronto but having lived there, I would place Chica... Read More

We will be flying from Sevilla to Donastia in May and wondered how strict they were with carry on luggage. I have a soft squishy carry on that, when laid out, measure 1 inch longer than they say is allowed. I can squash it to the required size but didn't know if they would allow that. Read More

I spent twelve days in Japan (March 28-April 8) after disembarking from a cruise ship in Tokyo. Since Fodorites are always helpful with pre-trip questions, I like to provide a trip report in case it sparks someone else’s interest!
