    Maybe you quickly stopped in Budapest as part of a longer Eastern European tour, but you loved the city so much that you wished you could have extended your stay.

    Or perhaps you visited Osaka on a day trip from Kyoto, but in retrospect, you could have used a whole week to eat your way through this incredible street food destination.

    Maybe on a recent trip to Italy you devoted most of your time to the big cities of Florence and Rome, but it was the lesser known city of Modena that really blew you away.

    Or maybe you visited Philadelphia on a road trip along the East Coast, and you loved everything about it, from the great museums and the historic neighborhoods to the lively food scene.
