replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot Yeah, I'm often in dry/wet season places. India and other places in South Asia that I'm managing at work, have monsoons to consider but not really particularly seasons #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A4. Hoping to catch the shoulder season in Patagonia next year for some hiking in Torres del Paine National Park. Think I'll have the time to trek the W Trail, but just taking in the views on any of the treks will be incredible #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel a5: nah, or at least, I don't book travel any differently depending on time of year. Only on complexity of journey.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie Yes, New England is very pretty that time of year. This was Montpelier, Vermont in September. #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A4. And I've booked a trip to Norway for next April for some adventure + fingers crossed, the bit of sightseeing I've still never managed to do, at the Fram Museum, Kon-Tiki and the Viking ship museum #PTTravel

A5 I use Skyscanner to search flights but try to always book direct. With hotels, again I try to book direct and these days make sure the booking is flexible with a decent cancellation policy. #PTTravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot Random qu - are you doing less complex journeys after pandemic until things recover or is it similar to before? #PTTravel

A5 #PTTravel I follow several third party sites including @agoda where I’ve found several great lodging deals. I also watch airline & lodging sites & see what you can get directly.

@kate_frankie #pttravel I'm doing less complex journeys atm primarily for financial reasons, also I've been taking more short breaks of late so have less holiday time from work to do the complicated and long stuff.
The pandemic, or at least residual admin relating to it, hasn't helped tho.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A5. Look at cheap flights, pick one, then plan. I usually wing it when it comes to things like that 😂 #PTTravel

A5 #PTTravel A difficult one! We like Wendy Wu, and APT travel ... we'll let you know about Titan when we get back from CR.
Saw a very tempting Caribbean cruise in the paper yesterday ... reasonable price, but then, we saw a picture of the ship:
A floating tower block! No way!

A6 #PTTravel It’s the best time to go. I’d keep an eye on the kind of weather you see in the area that time of year. Otherwise shop around to see what’s available.

A6 Just why not? I know this was also just after restrictions were lifted in 2020 but we almost had the place to ourselves. #PTTravel

replying to @aok_NW @aok_NW #pttravel Yes! I know someone who made a point of booking in the shoulder season ... to arrive in the middle of their monsoon season!
