best way to travel from Europe to UK (near Manchester) with two people?
Looking for recommendations for two people to travel from continental Europe to a conference center near Manchester in the UK, with a good balance between sustainability, convenience and cost. We'll be traveling in the middle of May. We've already found some options, but there might be deals that we're simply not aware of or routes we haven't considered. [more inside]
Would we really need snow tires?
I know ask.metafilter loves to recommend snow tires. But would we really need them in our situation? [more inside]

We're going to have a 7-hour layover in Lima, Perú this Monday, including dinner time.

All-weather handling + Rust: Subarus vs. other makes
We need a new-to-us (probably used, late model, low mileage, smallish hatchback) car. We've had Subarus for many years, and we love how they handle in snow and when there are rain puddles. But our car sits undriven a lot, so rust has been a big problem. In terms of handling, how do other makes with snow tires compare to Subarus without them? And in terms of rust, are there some makes that deal better with being driven infrequently? [more inside]
Best airplane neck pillow thingy these days?
I'm about to start traveling by plane a lot more often than I have since, oh, 2019 or so. Now that I'm approaching 50, I need recommendations for a neck pillow thingy that won't leave me with super-strained neck muscles (migraine inducing, massage-requiring) after a long and/or overnight flight. [more inside]

Best airline for travel from US to New Zealand?
We're planning a trip for our four-person family to NZ. We're visiting family, who are native New Zealanders, and they're graciously being our tour guides, so we don't need guidance on what to do or where to go. But it looks like a dozen airlines fly there from the US. What are the best choices? [more inside]

Scotland with a friend: Edinburgh to Skye
MeFi has some fab posts on this topic, so for now limiting this request to ideas around a proposed Edinburgh to Skye route over, say, a 10-day period in a shoulder month like May or September. We are two open-minded active outdoorsy women who want a balance of quirk, adventure and comfort. Plenty of mindblowing scenery a must. [more inside]
Can I use a NACS-to CCS adapter now?
We recently got an EV (2024 Hyundai Kona), and as we plan for a road-trip this summer, I am hoping to clear up some things that confuse me about fast charging on the road. Specifically, I want to know if I purchase one of these specific adapters if I will be able to charge at Tesla Superchargers if I *need* to. [more inside]

New York recommendations (specifically for a group of Parisiens)
I have some colleagues going to New York in mid-April and looking to spend 4-5 days being tourists after work stuff. What would you recommend for either NYC activities or nearby? (more specific questions below) [more inside]
80th birthday in the Grand Canyon-- Which way? April or May?
My dad turns 80 this year, and as a birthday present, we’re going on a 7-8 night trip in April or May to the Grand Canyon. I’m thinking that we will fly there, rent a car, and focus mostly on landscapes and cultural sites. We’ll definitely stay overnight in the Grand Canyon, see sites around Flagstaff, and see Petrified Forest.
In this early stage, I'm asking, what general route should we take, and when should we go? [more inside]

Where do I search for ~month long rental for a family in Mexico?
I am interested in finding a place for two adults and one child to stay for about one month in Mexico (or another beachy location). I know about airbnb, vrbo, and... not much else. Where should I be searching? [more inside]
Fun in Phoenix/Scottsdale?
My best friend and I will be in Phoenix/Scottsdale in March for four nights. We're seeing a Cubs game, staying at the Biltmore, but would love other suggestions for fun. My BFF isn't a hiker, so unfortunately that's out. We're middle-aged and will have a car. Thanks!

Manhattan nap spot (free or museum admission)
I’m looking to get a quick catnap in sometime this afternoon in Manhattan, like 3-4pm. What would you suggest? Something that combines with something else (musuem, cool interior) that’s not the obvious tourist spots like the NYPL. Comfy, and not hassled by folks and can keep my bag and laptop secure.

Safely traveling in South America, or learning to parent adult children
My underemployed, kind of broke, 27-year-old adult son is going to Nicaragua to work remotely for a month in a bungalow.
I am not even sure where to start with all this.
- How do I persuade myself or my spouse that travel to N. is relatively safe?
- How do I determine if a place is safe? Its very complicated, as discussed here
Food and relaxation recs for very short trip to Miami
I'll be in Miami from March 2-5 for a work event. I'll have Saturday and Sunday to myself before the event starts. I'm not of a mind to try and cram in a proper tourist overview of the city in such a short span. Instead, I'd like to slow down and relax. Seeking recs for nice places to do... nothing... to eat and enjoy a view. [more inside]
Celebrating in Berlin
My parents (early 70s) are celebrating their 50th (!) wedding anniversary mid February and are taking us (myself, my brother and SIL (40s) and their daughters, 13 and 15) to Berlin for the week. Woohoo! We're Dutch and going by train. My parents and I have been to the city previously, brother and fam have not. Give me all your recommendations please! [more inside]
