      Is my 2025 vacation going to be determined by Skittish dates?
      Of course not, that's unreasonable.
      Am I going to one of 3 possible cities all several hours' flight away after Aus/Ireland dates are announced?

    As an example in Sweden you get a home made type real burger with home made dressing, home made fried potatoes (10 times better then the fries as burger king), and 1/2 liter of soda for less than a Burger king Burger in Norway...
