We want to travel to northern Spain at the end of June, and will be taking our 2.5 year-old. We're looking for a nice place on the water (not sure if Bay of Biscay is better than the Atlantic coast).

Is there a shot or a vaccine I need to take?

Which countries require visas to travel from the United States? Where can I get a visa?

What is the safest way for a woman to travel solo? I'm planning a trip and I'm open to any destination. Are there some places I should avoid? How can I keep my posessions safe and ensure my personal safety? Should I just join a tour?

I'm going to Europe in December. Pretty smart, huh? Anyway, I have no idea what to wear… especially for shoes (need something warm, comfortable to walk in, and probably waterproof?) and coats (want something that looks nice, but is also warm enough).

We are considering renting a house in the Turks and Caicos… any recommendations of which islands might be best, and good places to rent from?
