replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel Amesbury ... lovely week; nearly got my shorts out again. Wales in about a fortnight, if the Lord's willing and the creek don't rise!

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot I like that I've never seen some of the places you post and I've visited a few times. You are good at digging out the best spots. Also, quieter ones #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie @Txiki_Tales #pttravel There was a gorilla at Longleat, but I believe he is now an ex-gorilla, and I don't know if he was ever replaced.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie It's Queen's Park, close to where my flat is, but still far enough out from the centre that you wouldn't go there as a tourist unless you were specifcially aiming for it. #pttravel

Q1 What do you look for when booking a trip in terms of finding the best place to stay, transport and things to do?

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith @kate_frankie @Txiki_Tales by "ex-gorilla" do you mean he transitioned into an orangutan? #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel A1:
* place to stay: cheap, easy to navigate to.
* things to do: I have a passion for history and local stuff, so things that cater for that. And beer.
* transport: ... I don't think I do? Not specifically. "It is what it is."

A1 I research the heck out of all my options! Itā€™s usually a balance between cost, location and accessibility. I do infuriate my wife with the amount of planning I do. #pttravel

replying to @Txiki_Tales @Txiki_Tales Lovely! Great area of Europe. Never been there specifically but looks like I would go #PTTravel

A1 #PTTravel First, Iā€™ll decide what I want to see at each stop. If Iā€™m using rail, Iā€™ll use the train station as a hub, picking a hotel nearby. I like to pick hotels where Iā€™m a loyalty member, for the perks they give you. There are light rail stops at the station you can use

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel Haven't been there since the 8Os ... had my parents in tow; they wanted to do a conducted tour ... which took in the German Hospital, and a succession of places where they made (and expected us to buy) things.

A1 #PTTravel Most of the companies we deal with do a pretty fair job of accom. places to eat etc. Whay I look for is plenty of free time, to explore and just do our own thing.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie tbf tho i do walk a lot so it often doesn't matter so much. #pttravel and i'm never usually out beyond the mid-evenings so I'm never in dangerous areas when they're most dangerous.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #PTTravel A1: places to stay: not so fussed as long as it's clean and has good reviews, reasonably close to town centre. Although sometimes a good view is worth paying for. Things to do: guidebooks (yes still), blogs, friends who have been.

replying to @Txiki_Tales @Txiki_Tales I love searching options and will rarely know exactly where I'm going and when until I'm booking. Can do weeks of changing my mind with different options #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel A2: i don't think I can answer that because I don't generally go to places more than once or twice? So everywhere is different with different styles and characteristics.

A2 #PTTravel Hereā€™s an example of loyalty perks. This was the view I had in DaNang, Vietnam. I had a nice room to begin with. The International Fireworks Show was underway & they gave a view of it from my room.

A2 #PTTravel You've seen this one before, I think .... the view from our window in Yangshouo. We arrived the previous night in the dark & pecing rain, and woke to this ...
