Honest question: why? :lol:
Cypresstiger’s answer is the correct one, by the way.

re: One major trip a year or several smaller trips per year
Posted by Joshjrn on 8/27/26 at 12:03 pm to HeartAttackTiger
If I can’t have both, I would prefer to alternate. Multiple short trips for a year in which I just need breaks. One long trip if it’s a year I want to get out of my comfort zone and really travel.
If I only got to pick one forever, it would be one big trip per year, but I wouldn’t be happy about it.

Correct. But the annoying thing is that you get charged extra for not paying at the time. I’m an adult and am willing to pay a toll even if I’m not happy about it. But give me a way to pay at the time. It’s all a scam.
They don’t want you using the toll roads if collecting will be annoying for them. And cash is annoying for them. I know Texas will allow you to go online and search by your plate number and pay without crazy fees. I assume Florida is similar.

So, Italy is obviously a major draw on that, but presumably, he’s going to be able to take weekend trips around the country, so I’m hesitant to include it in the pre-trip. But, it’s obviously an option.
Does he have any countries or periods in history he’s particularly fond of? Other than Rome, obviously :p

If you tell us what he’s into, we can make suggestions on cities to visit or avoid. It’s obviously a big continent with tons to do, so it’s important to be reasonable about time.

He doesn't need big luggage, and London isn't a great jumping off point for a European backpacking trip, for obvious geographical reasons. I did two months in Europe with a large Eagle Creek backpack that looked vaguely like this: LINK
Now, if he wants to tour the UK, more power to him. But getting back and forth to London for a mainland Europe trip would be a massive time sink with no payoff whatsoever. As an example of what I did when I spent a summer semester in Lyon, France: I flew into Budapest, train to Prague, train to Vienna, train to Munich, train to Lyon. To leave: train from Lyon to Milan, train to Venice, train to Florence, train to Sorrento, train to Rome. Flew out of Rome.
Open jaw flight itineraries and student Eurail passes are his friend for this kind of trip.

You absolutely don’t have to take anyone’s word for it. But, if you’re not going to take the word of professionals on an important issue, it’s my opinion that you have a duty to fully educate yourself, not just watch a YouTube video by some huckster, on the subject. And if someone doesn’t, I think that makes them a shitty person.

I’ll be curious about what, if any, changes they make for the “remaster” compared to the “next gen update” from a few years ago.

I can build ranch style 1,000 sq houses with modern eminities and sell for 150,000, and be a billionaire, but nobody wants them.
No one wants them if you put them on land in areas people don't want to live. Build it in a desirable area and it would sell like crazy. Unfortunately, you can't do that for $150k, which is the entire point.

As someone that has only experienced humid heat, can anyone describe “dry heat?”
I see people say “oh the high will be 110 but it’s a dry heat”. So is Phoenix or Las Vegas miserable in the summer or is the “dry heat” far more tolerable than say humid Gulf states?
They are still miserable in the summer, but that's because they get even hotter than we do. Temperature being equal, lower humidity will always feel cooler, as your body can move heat away easier.
But honestly, the biggest difference is the difference in shade. In a wet heat, all that water holds a ton of heat energy. Even in the shade, it's still miserably hot. In a dry heat, if you step into the shade, you'll immediately feel a difference of 15-20 degrees. It's really jarring if you've never experienced it before.

She really was awesome. Seemed to treat everyone around her well and did a tremendous amount of good with her money. Honestly, it's something I'd like to see us have a bit of a return to. I don't understand why the Zucks and Musks of the world aren't routinely building and dedicating parks, libraries, theaters, etc, like the old barons of the gilded age. I'm not saying give it all away. I'm not even saying give most of it away. But build something that will last, other than just more business.

Why did we wait until Book 6 to have an echo chamber for the chats?
I know the beeps were added in book 2 (I know, because I bitched about it :lol:), but I feel like the slight echo effect was present before book 6. Maybe they made it more pronounced?
