Podcasts about day trips

In this episode of Skip the Queue, guest host Olly Reed from Navigate is joined by Rob Comley of Chester Zoo and Simon Townsend of the Eden Project to discuss the growing impact of weather forecasting apps on visitor attractions. They discuss how simple weather icons can influence consumer behaviour, with misleading rain forecasts causing significant drops in attendance even when poor weather never materialises. Rob shares the story behind Chester Zoo's campaign calling for improvements to how weather forecasts are displayed, a movement now supported by more than 100 attractions and businesses across the UK. They discuss changing visitor behaviour, the importance of value for money, the rise of last-minute booking habits, and the role weather perception plays in decision-making. The episode also looks ahead to the campaign's upcoming discussions with the Met Office and highlights exciting developments at Chester Zoo and the Eden Project. Topics Discussed The impact of weather app icons on visitor attraction attendance How weather perception influences consumer decision-making Chester Zoo's campaign for improved weather forecast presentation The economic impact of inaccurate weather perceptions on attractions Industry support from attractions, farm shops, events, and hospitality businesses Visitor behaviour changes and the rise of last-minute bookings The relationship between weather forecasts and value for money expectations Differences in how weather affects Chester Zoo and the Eden Project The role of the Met Office and discussions around forecast communication Alternative weather forecasting models used in Europe The importance of accurate communication rather than challenging weather science How attractions adapt to changing weather patterns and climate conditions Future plans for the weather forecast campaign New developments at Chester Zoo including Heart of Africa and The Reserve lodges The Eden Project's 25th anniversary celebrations and Eden Sessions Optimism for the future of the visitor attraction sector   Show references:    Guest Host: Olly Reed - Marketing Director of Navigate https://www.navigate.agency/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/navigate-agency https://www.linkedin.com/in/olly-reed/   Guests:  Simon Townsend of Eden Project http://www.edenproject.com https://www.linkedin.com/company/eden-project/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/simon-townsend-10137914/ Rob Comley - Senior Policy and Advocacy Manager at Chester Zoo http://www.chesterzoo.org https://www.linkedin.com/company/chester-zoo/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/robcomley/   Skip the Queue is brought to you by Merac.

Lissa audio: what's a local day trip idea that won't break the bank

Toni Mazzaglia is the founder of Taste Florence food tours and she’s back on the podcast to talk about the best day trips from Florence. There’s Lucca and its stunning Medieval walls and a dish called the Pie with the Beaks. And, Pisa where there’s so much more than the leaning tower. Then, Toni and I talk about our favorites in Bologna. Plus, the hilarious rivalry between Pisa and Florence and why Italy stopped producing beer.

In this solo episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas delivers his definitive guide to Oxford — his favorite city in England outside of London and the subject of his guidebook 101 Oxford Travel Tips and Tricks. From the bleary-eyed chaos of his first visit in 2012 with an angry 16-month-old and the Mini Cooper factory ring road at midnight, to two stays as a student on the Oxford Experience program, Jonathan brings nearly 15 years of personal history with the city to bear on a comprehensive, enthusiastic, and practically useful travel guide. The episode covers how to get there, how long to stay, the Oxford Experience immersive student program, the colleges you must see, the Bodleian Library's remarkable layers, the essential museums, the unrivaled bookstore scene led by Blackwell's and its famous five-mile Norrington Room, Oxford's extraordinary literary connections from Lewis Carroll to Tolkien to Philip Pullman, the day trips that demand your time — including Blenheim Palace and the Cotswolds — and the practical tips that will make your visit infinitely more enjoyable.

Two days minimum is the right call; three is better. Oxford is just 60 miles and 40-45 minutes by direct train from London Paddington, making it one of the easiest day trips or overnights in Britain — and you can also get there direct by bus from Heathrow without going into London at all. The Oxford Experience — a residential immersive programme at Christchurch offering one-week courses for adults in July and August — is Jonathan's single highest recommendation for anyone who wants to truly inhabit the city. Courses cost £1,500–£2,000 all-in and include room, board, lectures, and excursions; book in November when the schedule is released as popular courses fill within hours. The Bodleian Library is not one library but several — the Divinity School, Duke Humphrey's Library, the Radcliffe Camera, and the Weston Library — and the best way to see them properly is to book a guided tour well in advance, as they sell out. Blackwell's bookshop on Broad Street is arguably the greatest bookshop in the world — the underground Norrington Room alone has five miles of shelving beneath Trinity College — and Jonathan has never left without spending several hundred pounds. Staff will package books in brown paper and ship them back to the US at reasonable rates. Oxford's literary connections are extraordinary: Lewis Carroll wrote Alice in Wonderland at Christchurch (Alice was the Dean's daughter); Tolkien and C.S. Lewis met with the Inklings at the Eagle and Child every Tuesday through the 1930s and 40s; Philip Pullman set His Dark Materials here; Oscar Wilde studied at Magdalen; and Inspector Morse has made every corner of the city feel like a crime scene. The Eagle and Child — the Inklings' famous pub on St. Giles' Street — has been closed since COVID and is currently being refurbished by new owners. It must reopen as a pub by heritage law, and is expected to reopen either in 2026 or 2027; keep an eye on the show notes link for updates. If you're in Oxford for even one day, you must go to Blenheim Palace — just eight miles away by bus, the only non-royal non-episcopal palace in England, birthplace of Winston Churchill, UNESCO World Heritage Site, and arguably the greatest country house in Britain. A bus from Oxford drops you at the gates. Jonathan's top Oxford hack: stay for at least one night. By 4-5pm the tour buses are gone, Oxford becomes a completely different city, and the cultural life — theatre, bookshop talks, music — begins. Arrive early to beat crowds at the sights, then save the evenings for culture and quieter exploration. Avoid mid-April to mid-June (exam season, colleges restrict access), avoid July if you run hot (medieval stone buildings have no air conditioning and bake in the heat), and buy a fan the moment you arrive if visiting in summer. September and October are ideal months to visit. ⠀ Soundbites "Most of my early memories of Oxford were driving the ring road at midnight with a toddler who would not go to sleep and who would only stop crying if he was in the car. We drove round and around, seeing nothing other than the Mini Cooper plant every time we went past." — Jonathan on his first trip to Oxford in 2012. "Oxford has this warmth to it — that yellow beige Cotswold stone, weathered and warm. And there's this scholarly, bookish vibe from the place that you don't really get anywhere else. It's not just a campus. Oxford University is the town of Oxford." — Jonathan on why Oxford grabs you. "I was immediately spellbound. I loved it immediately. And that's the thing about Oxford — it grabs you once you visit, and you're walking around this beautiful architecture surrounded by deep, deep history. They don't even know exactly how old the university is. It's over 800 years old. When Oxford was founded, the Aztec Empire hadn't even reached its peak." — Jonathan on falling in love with Oxford in 2016. "There were riots. There was full scale urban warfare in Oxford in 1355 — the St. Scholastica's Day riot. 63 scholars and 30 townspeople were killed. As a result, the town was forced to pay annual reparations to the university in a formal ceremony that continued into the Victorian era." — Jonathan on Oxford's violent town vs. gown history. "You basically get to live as an Oxford student for a week. Morning is lectures, afternoon is tours and excursions, evening is formal dinner in the Great Hall. And one night you're invited to high table — suit and tie, port, mingling with the professors. It's a very quintessentially British experience." — Jonathan on the Oxford Experience programme. "I've never gotten out of the Norrington Room without spending several hundred pounds. Let me just say that. Five miles of shelving underground beneath Trinity College. So many books." — Jonathan on Blackwell's legendary underground bookshop. "The Pitt Rivers Museum is like the Victorian cabinet of curiosities. Dimly lit, quiet — maybe people don't even know it's there. Polynesian canoes, samurai outfits, weapons, armour. A strange and wonderful melange of human culture from all over the world." — Jonathan on one of Oxford's most atmospheric museums. "If you're in Oxford and you don't go to Blenheim Palace, you've wasted a trip to Oxford. It's the only non-royal, non-episcopal palace in England. I would argue it's probably the greatest house in Britain. And a bus from Oxford drops you right at the gates." — Jonathan on Blenheim Palace. "By four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the tour buses are gone. And it's just you and the people who live and work and study in Oxford. Oxford becomes a completely different place. That's when the cultural life wakes up." — Jonathan's key Oxford overnight hack. "Scriptum on Turl Street — if you're a bookish type, you will love this place. Beautiful blank books, journals, diaries, fancy pens. I have a beautiful leather book from there with gorgeous cream pages that I cherish so much I haven't written anything in it. I'm afraid to ruin it." — Jonathan on his favourite hidden gem shop in Oxford. ⠀ Chapters 00:00 Introduction — Jonathan sets up the Oxford guide episode and plugs his Oxford guidebook 01:48 Jonathan's Relationship with Oxford — Brideshead Revisited, American universities, and the Oxford DNA in US campus culture 03:30 First Visit: Oxford 2012 — Diamond Jubilee trip, an angry toddler, and the ring road at midnight 06:20 Second Visit: Oxford 2016 — The train from Paddington, the proper day, and falling in love properly 08:42 A Brief History of Oxford — Ford of the Oxen, Alfred the Great, Henry II, 800 years, and the St. Scholastica's Day riot 13:30 The University Explained — 44 colleges, town vs. gown, the founding of Cambridge by Oxford exiles, and Oxford today 16:10 How to Get There — Train from Paddington, Oxford Tube bus, direct from Heathrow, and why not to drive 19:30 Getting Around Oxford — Walking, taxis, park-and-ride pitfalls, and Tolkien's grave 21:10 Day Trip vs. Overnight — Why staying beats leaving, and how Oxford transforms after 4pm 23:40 The Oxford Experience Programme — Christchurch, Worcester College, the Nelson course, high table, and the Enigma course Jonathan wants to do next 33:15 Accommodation Options — Hotels, staying in colleges out of term time, and the Randolph (Inspector Morse's pub) 35:20 The College System Explained — 44 semi-independent colleges, how to apply, porters, scouts, and visiting hours 38:00 Must-See Colleges — Christchurch, Magdalen, Worcester, Merton, Wadham (Brideshead), and the peculiar All Souls 43:00 The Bodleian Library — Five buildings, Duke Humphrey's Library, the Radcliffe Camera, the Divinity School, and why you must book a tour 47:00 Radcliffe Square & St. Mary's Church Tower — The most beautiful urban space in Britain and the best views in Oxford 48:40 The Ashmolean Museum — Britain's first public museum, the Alfred Jewel, Guy Fawkes's lantern, Turner paintings, and it's free 51:00 The Pitt Rivers Museum — Through the Natural History Museum, the shrunken heads, Polynesian canoes, and the Victorian cabinet of curiosities 53:00 Carfax Tower, Oxford Castle & Prison, and the Covered Market — Views, ruins, Brown's Café, and Ben's Cookies 55:30 The Botanic Garden & Broad Street — Riverside walks, the Martyrs' Cross, and the Reformation in Oxford 56:30 Shopping in Oxford — The High Street, Blackwell's, the Norrington Room, OUP Bookshop, Scriptum, The Last Bookshop, and why to skip the Harry Potter tat 01:03:00 Literary Oxford — Lewis Carroll, Tolkien, C.S.

Olana (Hudson) Olana is less than 50 miles north on Route 9 or the Taconic Parkway. Now is the perfect time to visit the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Hudson River School of Art painter, Frederic Edwin Church, in the home he designed with architect Calvert Vaux and on the grounds that were his visual embodiment of a bucolic landscape. The current exhibit, Global Artist, which runs through Oct. 25, portrays the multitude of landscape paintings from distant lands. The exhibit is on the second floor of Church's home, which was inspired by his trips to Persia in the 19th century. You will see works on loan from many museums and private collections that depict the Parthenon, an iceberg off Newfoundland, Petra in Jordan, the Andes in South America, and yes, the sunsets over the Hudson River. Church's own iconic paintings adorn every part of his living space, with European masters in the dining room. There is also fascinating ephemera throughout his sitting rooms, library and studio. Large windows highlight the landscape. The home is surrounded by 250 acres, now a state park, that was thoughtfully planned by Church. Apparently, he was fond of collecting seeds during his travels. As you stand on the grounds, you may feel like part of one of his paintings. Within 10 minutes is Hudson, another gem of a bygone era, where whaling vessels had safe harbor. Hudson is home to upscale boutiques of house furnishings and clothing by makers and designers, food markets and antique stores. For simple, affordable fare, try Baba Louie. Another local stronghold on Warren Street is Red Dot. Or pack a picnic basket, weather permitting, and dine at Olana. Olana, at 5720 Route 9G in Hudson, is open daily from 8 a.m. to sunset. Home tours take place daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. except Monday and start at $20 (children ages 16 and younger are free). You can explore the house on your own on Friday, Saturday and Sunday for $25. Picnics and dogs on leashes are allowed on the grounds. See olana.org. Campus Art Tour Two college campuses within an hour of the Highlands have well-kept secrets. The Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art, at SUNY-New Paltz, is housed in a nondescript building that is also home to the Parker Theater. There are three areas in the main exhibit area to explore, which is across from a studio that features local artists (e.g., the annual Hudson Valley Artists Show) and contemporary themes (e.g., language, society and power). In the Main Hall, A Living Collection highlights the museum's assortment of permanent acquisitions or commissions. The art includes paintings by American masters (e.g., Milton Avery, George Inness, Joel Meyerowitz) and contemporary sculpture and collectible objects of great distinction. One featured exhibit and program hang from four to six months and is frequently curated by a member of the art faculty. Recent exhibits highlighted the artistic heritage of New Paltz faculty and global connections amongst international artists that had all crossed paths with a teacher in New York. There is also a dedicated space to sit for a while where creative experimentation is encouraged with art materials provided in a hands-on activity room. It is a chance to ponder the impact of what was viewed during the walk through the gallery. Conversation with museum staff — university students who share artistic interests — is welcomed. Overall, the hallmark of the visit is having a self-paced tour, without rush or crowds. The low-key art adventure continues by traveling across the Mid-Hudson Bridge to Vassar. Take a lunch break at Meyer's Olde Dutch on Collegeview Avenue in Poughkeepsie, a recent expansion from Beacon. After lunch, a walk across the campus, which is an arboretum, takes you to the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center near the South Gate. The Loeb is double the size and packs more into its galleries than the Dorsky. It will take twice the amount of time to wander and absorb the art treasures. Starting with the Founding G...

Along with hearing about volcanoes, waterfalls, black sand beaches, and gorgeous landscapes, one of the biggest things people associate with Iceland is how expensive it is. And honestly, that conversation comes up constantly. It's one of the most common questions when I am helping travelers planning their first trip here. Iceland has built a reputation online for being adventurous and fascinating, but also very expensive. And to be fair, it absolutely can be. Publications like Travel + Leisure have even ranked Iceland among the most expensive travel destinations in the world. From my perspective as someone who has lived in Iceland since 2016 and helped thousands of travelers through my podcast, social media channels, private consultations, and my in-depth video course, The Savvy Traveler's Guide to Iceland, what stands out to me is this: most people don't create a realistic budget for Iceland. Inside This 5-Day Iceland Budget Guide Knowing where to start with Budgeting for 5-days in Iceland Why the Season You Visit Changes Your Entire Budget What Kind of Iceland Experience Do You Want? Flights to Iceland Accommodations: The Biggest Budget Variable Rental Cars & Iceland’s New Road Tax How to Save on Renting a Car and Camper Van in Iceland The Hidden Iceland Expense Most Travelers Forget: Parking Fees Food Costs in Iceland Activities & Tours: What to Expect Use Discount Codes Strategically to Save Money Unexpected Costs Realistic 5-Day Iceland Budgets by Season Winter Budget Breakdown Shoulder Season Budget Breakdown Summer Budget Breakdown Knowing Where to Start with Budgeting a 5-day Trip for Iceland I think that people don’t always create a realistic budget for Iceland because they don’t know where to start. Travelers are often unsure about  how much to set aside for accommodations, activities, rental cars, food, parking, or even how much the season changes everything. So instead of just throwing random numbers at you, I want to walk you through how I would personally budget for a 5-day trip to Iceland depending on your travel style, the season, and the choices you make while you're here. Because the reality is that a 5-day trip to Iceland could cost one person around $1,300 and another person over $4,000 — and both of them could still have incredible experiences. The Season You Visit Iceland Changes Everything If there's one thing I really want travelers to understand before budgeting for Iceland, it's this: the season you visit impacts almost every single part of your trip. That includes accommodations, rental cars, flights, activities, and even how you spend your time while traveling. I'm honestly not exaggerating when I say that the exact same hotel room can literally double or triple in price depending on the month. For example, a hotel room that costs around $120 per night in winter can easily jump to $250–350 per night in summer. Same room. Same location. Same hotel. The only thing that changed is the season. Now, I don't say that to scare anyone. There are also unique events that can create unusually high prices, like the 2026 total solar eclipse in Iceland, where some accommodations are charging thousands of dollars per night because demand is so intense. That's not the normal reality for Iceland travel, but it does show how much seasonality and demand affect pricing here. Rental cars work exactly the same way. In summer, demand skyrockets, and travelers are often shocked by how quickly prices increase if they wait too long to book. What Kind of Iceland Experience Do You Want? Another huge part of budgeting for Iceland is understanding the type of trip you actually want to have. I think social media sometimes makes this harder because people see inspiration online and accidentally start comparing their budget to someone else's completely different trip. Maybe you want to see the Northern Lights, but you're planning to come in summer, which, by the way, isn't possible because the sun barely sets. Maybe you want to base yourself in Reykjavík and do day trips, or maybe you want to road trip around the country and stay in multiple places. Perhaps you want to rent a camper van or stay in luxury hotels for part of the trip because you're celebrating something special. All of those decisions affect your budget. One thing I regularly help people understand during my private video consultations is that Iceland often looks much smaller on the map than it actually is once you start driving around it. For example, if someone wants to stay in Reykjavík the whole trip but also drive to Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, I explain that this is about a five-hour drive one way. That's ten hours of driving in a single day before you even stop at waterfalls, black sand beaches, or anywhere else along the route. That's why route planning matters so much in Iceland, not only for your sanity but also for your budget. Flights to Iceland – Cost per Season Flights to Iceland fluctuate constantly depending on the season, where you're flying from, how early you book, and global fuel prices. For winter, flights are often around $400–700 roundtrip, while summer flights can range from $600–1,200 or even higher. And honestly, airfare pricing lately has become even harder to predict because of global fuel market instability and international conflicts affecting energy prices. Those things trickle into airline pricing too, so whenever I give ranges for Iceland travel costs, I always want people to understand that these numbers are based on averages and trends, not guarantees. One thing I personally recommend is signing up for airline email lists, like Icelandair or Delta Air Lines, because they regularly send flight sales. I also use Google Flights to track pricing trends, and you'd honestly be surprised how much prices can fluctuate from one week to another. Accommodations in Iceland: The Biggest Budget Variable Accommodation is usually where people underestimate costs the most. For budget accommodations like hostels, guesthouses, smaller rooms, or shared bathroom situations, you're generally looking at around $400–700 total for five nights in winter and about $700–1,400+ in summer. For mid-range accommodations, such as private hotel rooms, apartments, or guesthouses with private bathrooms, winter pricing is usually somewhere around $700–1,400 for five nights, while summer can jump to $1,200–2,000+. And yes, summer pricing really can get that high. If you're considering a camper van, that can sometimes help reduce accommodation costs, though prices vary dramatically depending on the vehicle and the season. I always recommend booking accommodations as early as possible for summer travel. Honestly, if you can plan a year in advance, that's ideal. Six months minimum is usually what I suggest if possible. Rental Cars Cost & Iceland's New Road Tax If you're planning to leave Reykjavík, I strongly recommend considering a rental car because it gives you so much flexibility. Winter rental prices for a smaller car are often around $120–150 per day, while SUVs are closer to $170–180 per day. In summer, smaller cars can easily be $150–200+, and SUVs can go even higher depending on the size and capability of the vehicle. For a five-day trip, many travelers spend somewhere between $600–1,200+ once you include gas and insurance. And there's another thing travelers now need to budget for. Starting in 2026, Iceland implemented a kilometer-based road tax system that applies to vehicles, including rental cars. Iceland Kilometer Fee Information Most travelers won't calculate this themselves because rental companies typically include it either as a per-kilometer fee or as a flat daily charge. For example, Go Car Rental Iceland currently charges approximately €10.50 per day as a flat mandatory road tax fee. Fuel prices in Iceland have lowered somewhat since the road tax was introduced, but global events still impact fuel pricing significantly. How to Save on Renting a Car & Camper Van in Iceland Through my discount links with Go Car Rental Iceland and Go Campers, you can save 7% on your rental. Go Car also includes free 4G WiFi, while Go Campers includes a free sleeping bag. And honestly, the WiFi is incredibly useful because you can check weather, road conditions, maps, email, WhatsApp, and social media while driving around Iceland You can head to gorentals.is/allthingsiceland Once you enter your travel dates, the 7% discount is automatically applied. For Go Car:When you get to the extras section, select 4G WiFi. You'll see the price stays the same, even though it has been added.  For Go Campers:Choose a sleeping bag under the “extras” section, and same thing, the total price won't increase. And just so you know, using my link gives me a small commission at no extra cost to you. It's one of the ways you're supporting All Things Iceland and the content I create. So thank you for that. The Hidden Expense in Iceland that Most Travelers Forget: Parking Fees Many waterfalls, black sand beaches, scenic viewpoints, geothermal areas, and hiking spots now charge for parking. This is especially in popular areas like the Golden Circle, South Coast, Snæfellsnes Peninsula, and downtown Reykjavík. I've seen this change a lot over the years since I moved here in 2016. There were many places that used to have completely free parking, but because of the increase in tourism, road maintenance, parking lot maintenance, and of course landowners wanting to make money, parking fees have become much more common. I usually recommend budgeting around $80 USD total for parking during a 5-day trip depending on how much driving you're doing. You can also use the Parka app to look up parking fees in advance, which can help a lot with planning. If you're unsure where to go or how to organize your route efficiently, I highly recommend checking out My Iceland Map on Rexby. It includes 350+ personally recommended locations around Iceland that I've visited and enjoyed myself. Food Costs in Iceland Food absolutely adds up in Iceland if you eat every meal out. A casual restaurant meal is usually around $20–35 per person, while a nicer dinner can easily be $40–80+. Coffee and a pastry are often around $10–15, and cocktails in Reykjavík can easily cost over $20 each. For five days, I'd say a budget traveler who cooks some meals or makes sandwiches could probably spend around $150–300, while a mid-range traveler who eats out more regularly could spend around $300–700+. One of my favorite budget hacks is booking accommodations with breakfast included. Then you can eat a larger breakfast, make sandwiches or grab snacks for later, and only pay for dinner out. For groceries, Bónus is generally the cheapest option, while Krónan is another great alternative. And surprisingly, IKEA Iceland is one of the cheapest places to sit down and eat a full meal in Iceland. I’m not suggesting that you eat at IKEA every day but I just think it is fun to share that random information. What to Budget for Activities & Tours in Iceland This category really depends on what type of traveler you are. Some people are perfectly happy exploring waterfalls, scenic drives, geothermal areas, and hiking trails, which can keep costs relatively low. Others want glacier hikes, snorkeling, whale watching, ice caves, and snowmobiling. All of these activities can add up quickly. The Blue Lagoon and Sky Lagoon are generally around $100–150+, glacier hikes are around $100–200+, whale watching tours around $118–150+, and ice cave tours can range from $150–300+ depending on the experience. One of my favorite lower-cost alternatives to the major lagoons is going to a local swimming pool like Laugardalslaug. It has Olympic-sized pools, hot tubs, a cold plunge, slides, and it gives you a chance to experience Icelandic swimming pool culture alongside locals for a fraction of the cost of the lagoons. And if you love museums, there are actually certain times of year when you can visit many for free during events like Winter Lights Festival in February and Menningarnótt (Culture Night) in August. Use Discount Codes & Links to Save Money in Iceland One of the easiest ways to save money in Iceland is by not paying full price when you don't have to. My free Iceland Discount Code Bundle includes discounts for rental cars, camper vans, tours, activities, hotels, outerwear, and more. Most tour discounts are around 10% off, and when you apply those savings across multiple activities, it really does make a noticeable difference in your final trip budget. Always Leave Room for Unexpected Costs This is honestly one of my biggest Iceland budgeting tips overall: always leave room for flexibility. Weather changes quickly in Iceland, and road conditions can shift plans unexpectedly. That could mean rerouting, staying somewhere an extra night, changing accommodations, or adjusting activities because of storms or warnings. Whenever possible, I recommend keeping a few hundred dollars of flexibility in your budget if you can. It just makes the trip feel significantly less stressful. Realistic 5-Day Iceland Budget by Season For winter travel between November and March (excluding holidays), a budget traveler is usually looking at around $1,300–2,000, while a mid-range traveler is closer to $1,800–2,700. Winter tends to be cheaper because hotel demand is lower, rental cars are less expensive, and there are fewer crowds. The trade-off, of course, is less daylight and more unpredictable weather. For summer, budget travelers are usually spending around $1,800–3,000, while mid-range travelers are closer to $2,500–4,000+. Summer costs rise because of peak tourism demand, midnight sun season, easier travel conditions, Highlands access, and limited accommodations. The biggest reason I wanted to make this episode was honestly to help people manage expectations. Iceland can absolutely be expensive. But once you understand how seasonality works, where your biggest expenses are, and how to budget realistically, it becomes much easier to create a trip that works for your finances and travel style. And honestly, being informed ahead of time makes Iceland feel so much less overwhelming. The Random Fact of the Episode Did you know that Iceland has around 41 active volcanic systems — including volcanoes beneath the ocean? According to Náttúra Íslands (Natt.is), a volcano is considered “active” if it has erupted within the last 11,000–12,000 years, which is actually pretty recent in geological terms. The most active volcanic system in Iceland is called Grímsvötn, located in Southeast Iceland. It has erupted on average about once every decade over the last thousand years. Meanwhile, Iceland's largest volcanic system is Bárðarbunga, and many of the country's enormous lava fields were created from eruptions there. What's also fascinating is that volcanic systems in Iceland are often made up of: a central volcano, plus a fissure swarm, all connected to a shared underground magma chamber deep within the Earth's crust. Which honestly explains why Iceland can sometimes feel like you're standing on another planet. Icelandic Word of the Episode ferðakostnaður — travel expenses or cost of travel Pronunciation: FEHR-tha-kost-na-thur This felt like the perfect word for this episode because honestly… that's exactly what we've been talking about the entire time.  In Icelandic: ferð = trip/journey kostnaður = cost/expense So together: ferðakostnaður = the cost of traveling. Example: “Ferðakostnaður á Íslandi getur verið hár á sumrin.” “Travel costs in Iceland can be high during the summer.” And trust me… Icelanders definitely understand this too, especially when traveling around their own country during peak season.

La rappeuse anglaise Little Simz "speaks a lot of French, oui, oui, oui" (dans sa chanson Young, album Lotus). Je me suis donc demandé : qu'est-ce que Paris peut offrir à une artiste comme Little Simz ? Mathilde et moi lui avons concocté un programme de visite qui commence dès qu'elle sort de l'Eurostar, Gare du Nord.  Si je propose des choses classiques : manger une crêpe, visiter Montmartre. Mathilde, passionnée de musique contemporaine, a d'autres références : où trouver des vinyles, où passer une soirée branchée et écouter de la bonne musique.  Vous pensez que le rap n'est pas votre "cup of tea"? Eh bien, je pense que vous allez apprécier le discours de Mathilde, qui a vingt-cinq ans et travaille dans l'industrie musicale. C'est bien aussi d'écouter les plus jeunes parler de leur ville et de la musique qui les fait vibrer. Et tout ça, en français ! Trop bien !  Cet épisode est plus long que d'habitude. Il sera suivi la semaine prochaine de la suite de notre entretien.  N'hésitez pas à compléter l'expérience linguistique et culturelle en vous abonnant aux lettres qui accompagnent les épisodes sur www.onethinginafrenchday.com Ce podcast vous plaît, ce serait super sympa de laisser un avis sur Apple Podcast ou sur votre application de podcast.

Is a winter day trip to Nantucket actually worth it for golf?In this podcast (which you can watch on YouTube), I break down the real, door-to-door cost of playing Miacomet Golf Course in the winter, where greens fees drop from $255 in the summer to $70 before April 30. I've played Miacomet twice during the winter months. I'll walk you through everything you need to know — parking, ferry timing, taxis, food, and why this course plays so well in the offseason.If you're curious about winter golf in Massachusetts, affordable golf trips, or whether island golf can be done in a single day, this video will help you decide if this trip is worth it.LINKS:Watch on YouTubeSubscribe to the Newsletter Baystate Golf on IGSeanMeliaGolf on TwitterBaystateGolf.com

Virginia and Jeanette have decided to take a last minute day trip to Walt Disney World to enjoy the holiday decor. They will exchange the hustle and bustle of the city for the Disney bubble! Sit down with the ladies to hear them work out (in real time) what they will be doing on their big day. Going into this recording, all they knew was that they were going for the day and that they wanted to spend some time (but not all) in Magic Kingdom. What else will they plan? Tune in to see!

Virginia and Jeanette reunite to talk about their holiday day trip to Walt Disney World. Because Jeanette had limited time on December 5, she flew down the day before and got some solo time. Virginia arrived first thing on December 5 and after Jeanette had to head out, got some solo time of her own.  Trip Dates: December 4-5, 2025 Post Trip Interview: recorded 12/17/25   Episode Specific Links: Follow Jeanette (@pixiejeanette) on Instagram and listen to Jeanette's previous episodes of the podcast!

In today's episode, host James Cox sits down with Chicago‑born jazz virtuoso Brian Culbertson – a multi‑instrumentalist, composer, producer, and the man behind the acclaimed album “Day Trip.”From Brian's early days tinkering on piano at eight, picking up trombone in the school band, and discovering the magic of a home studio at twelve, to his modern‑day workflow that blends live horns, synth‑laden beats, and the Output Arcade plug‑in that sparked the track “Sandcastles,” the conversation drifts through:The instrument journey: why piano became his songwriting hub, how drums shaped his groove sense, and the challenge of playing piano passages that push his limits.Music theory & learning: a down‑to‑earth take on why theory is “baby steps” and how a good teacher can make it approachable for anyone.Creative influences: everything from Earth, Wind & Fire and Tower of Power to classical, EDM, Mongolian metal (The Hu) and dark hip‑hop—showing how eclectic listening fuels fresh ideas.Production vs. performance: why the studio feels like home, the painstaking process of polishing a record, and the tricks he uses to translate studio vibes to a live stage.The “Day Trip” story: how nine songs were written in just four days with co‑writer Nicholas Cole, and the emotional contrast between rapid bursts of inspiration and years‑long labors of love.Beyond the music: Brian's passion for wine, the creation of his signature blends, the Napa Valley Jazz Getaway he co‑hosts, and the balance of artistry with entrepreneurship.Get ready for a deep dive into a musician's mindset, a handful of quirky anecdotes (no secret studio rituals—just a shower and a good vibe), and plenty of tips for anyone who dreams of turning a musical spark into a polished record.Press play, lean back, and let the conversation remind you why, when words fall short, music always finds a way to speak.

This week's podcast episode is extra special because it's our last episode before January.  We're talking about some of our favorite Christmas traditions, Fran's recent day trip to New York City, and then we slow things down to reflect on our December memory verse: "But the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.'  Luke 2:10–11 As we close out the year, we're reminded just how deeply God loves each one of us personally, intentionally, and completely. We pray this conversation brings you peace, joy, and hope as you finish out the Christmas season.  Each episode is recorded on the campus of Union University!
