A thank you to all the Fodorites who helped us plan this trip!! Day 1: arrived in Naples, viewing Vesuvius, we had a challenge with our car rental through Surprice via Discovercars, recommended by Rick Steves.

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

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! I’ll cover logistics first and then summarize what I did and sights I saw.
