Tromso is great, going when it's always dark, or always light?

Contemplating: Tel Aviv for Eurovision 2019
If you have time in Skopje I highly suggest Lake Ohrid, and also a stop in Lake Bled from Ljubljana.

Great thread!

You went to Moscow, on what type of visa?
I wanted to visit Russia, but their visa app process excludes me (and cruises are not an option for now)
What do you mean it excludes you? I have a 3-year multi entry visa.

HX mistake fare is from last summer. Long thread about it in MR Deals forum.

Probably Crete and Santorini. I haven't finalized an itinerary yet. I have 10 days in early October, and have never been to Greece, so have to include some time in Athens too!

A slow year this year due to only about 14 weeks vacation for me and the mrs.

We came back from Antigua and Turks and Caicos, spent some time in the cold Northern Ontario, next up is China+Maldives. April brings a trip in Singapore. June will be back in North Ontario, followed by July in Iceland/Faeroe Islands and Norway. West Coast Canada also booked for July. August we have Beijing, followed by a couple weeks in Switzerland.

That will leave about 4 weeks of travel for fall/winter

Will probably only add 1 (maybe two) new country, bringing the total up to 155.

​​​​​​ Dark. I've spent a lot of time in the Nordic countries/Scandanavia in the light (and love it), and now I'm continuing my northern lights quest. Last year was Iceland and saw some, but I want more.

Was there last January (2018) and loved it. If you haven't booked a hotel yet, recommend Clarion The Edge. Good luck with the lights.

Chania for us. We’ve been looking forward to this trip for a while. We’ll be renting a car as well and hope to get some good exploring in while we’re there.

Great location, nice rooms and super helpful and nice staff. For restaurants, Smak is supposedly amazing (fully booked while we were there sadly). Emma's Drommekjokken was pretty good for traditional food.
