I read (and occasionally contribute) to a number of international travel sites ... and some of them remind me of the issues and challenges people face as they plan their travel.  What is, perhaps, obvious to me may not be to others.  I wondered whether to post in "the lighter side" but, no, these are serious people making serious enquiries, and we "seasoned" travel and transport advocates on the Coffee shop should respect, listen to, and help these people - by doing so, we also help the systems we are advocating that they use. 
 
Hello! What’s the best train route to get from London to Liverpool?

Flying to Amsterdam in July. What is the best mode of transportation from the airport to a hotel across from the central train station?

How is Ireland right now? Are there issues?

Big trip planned with a tour company for Italy, France, Austria, Germany. Afraid to book it as to what’s going on in the world. Have never been to Europe!!

Just stating to think about a river type cruise in Norway. Any real life experiences out there to share?

I am very interested to see what this group can enlighten me about travel for older folks, other tips & ideas to make travel easier.

I’m hoping some of the travelers out there might be able to help me. I am  a senior doing my first solo. I may have bit off more than I can chew. l arrive at terminal two Manchester and I need to get to the train station to continue on Birmingham. I’ve tried to watch a few videos and YouTube and I’ve tried to do some research on Google but it’s very overwhelming.

Is it worth it to buy a woman’s woolx t-shirt  for 10 days in May in Ireland?  They are pricy. Does it really not smell after multiple wearings?

Do I have to have the Real ID to travel via airline within the United States or will my Passport be sufficient?
