Essential The Official Coli Travel Thread

Folks that have been to Brazil: I NEED YOUR HELP!!!! Carnaval Rio/Salvador 2020 is my next trip.

First 2 questions: Which one to go?

Which domestic airline can I utilize to get cheap domestic flights to cut costs? All of the major American airlines are charging $3,000 for round trip. I'm trying to get a round trip between $1,800-$2200.


As for my Spain trip... It had some very awsome highs and some lows, but I made it back. I'll will post some of my pics and videos as soon as I download them from my FB!

I had two major incidents; one that I'm currently dealing with now. I got pleurisy while in Spain which is a viral infection that attacks the lung lining that is debilitating me.

The second major issue is that I lost my phone(Note 9) on the subway in Barcelona, so ALL of my pics that I didn't post on FB are gone. That incident is when the trip went downhill because everything involving my trip(and life) was on that phone.

I have no hard feeling though... I know what to do for the next trip and as you can see, I'm ready for it!

Damn man, that blows. I usually keep a travel phone for this purpose precisely. Usually an older model that still has all my apps and what not loaded.

Is SF or LA worth a MDW trip?

Where are you flying from? I’m seeing LAX to RIO during carnival round trip for 1000 on kayak.

I just went to Carnival in Rio, it was life changing

If you don’t speak Portuguese...I’d say maybe go to Rio. More English speaking people.

If you plan on bringing back some cariocas to your room, don’t stay in a hotel. Most don’t allow visitors. Get an
Airbnb...I don’t know how but I got an oceanfront 2 bedroom in Copa for $60/night. I got it last min, may have been a cancellation.

Dallas.... I haven't searched Kayak. And I don't speak much Portuguese, just Spanish

@Idaeo

The cheap flights have ridiculous layovers. The cheapest flight with short layovers will be around $1500... and I'll be flying Air Canada... otherwise $1800 will be what I'll be paying to go.

I want to go somewhere, I just don't know where lol. I got vacation time and I don't really travel except to visit family. Looking to do something different for my birthday (early July). I might do something "basic" like Vegas or Hawaii. I say basic people go there all the time but I've never been.

BTW... anywhere I go it'll be solo. I'm not a club or bar person either.

Going to London plane ticket booked


All my uk brehs drop dem tips

Let us know how it turns out.

I got a trip to Ancara in Punta Cana and Montego Bay coming soon.

This shyt gave me a headache. I'd rather pay for the convenience of not having to do all that.

Did you go solo? How far in advance did you plan? What months are the best time to visit? I may have to do it after July since that's right around the corner.
