Provence is for you. As we say, start slowly, then taper off. And then explore Luberon Market & Villages
This is kind of an unusual post for us, as it focuses on the place where we live, as it happens. Every big city has its own unique characteristics. Whether it's the climate, or the views or the language or the food. Some of these characteristics might blend from city to city…
Without a shove, where would you be now?
Another railroad story for you and, sadly, it's another one that doesn't paint the USA's Amtrak in the best of lights. And, to be sure, we like Amtrak and take it whenever we can, so we are not slagging the service at all. We're merely presenting…
Japan is a wonderland of the beautiful, the mystical, the serene, the playful and the historical. Especially with the latter, if you count years using this imperial era system, this year (2022 on the Western calendar) would be 2681 in Japan. Not many countries can claim that. If we use the standard…
Hey, 23-hour party people! You know who you are and where you like to go - one of which is Ibiza, Spain's party jewel of the sea. Did you know that Tourism accounts for 84% of Ibiza's GDP? The population of Ibiza swells from 152,000 to over 450,000 during peaks months of the summer…
We're sorry. We couldn't resist playing with that lousy pun of a post title. But this cruise down the Nile does come with a mummy-back guarantee. Ahem... now back to reality,
Remember the wide-eyed wonder of learning about ancient Egypt at school? Our affiliate friends, Titan Travel, are offering this comprehensive Egypt…
.... responsibly. For many travelers, one of the biggest thrills is being able to visit locales and see animals in their own habitats, unshackled, roaming around as it should be. Elephants, tigers, rare birds - you get the picture. Safaris are a great way of doing that (and we have a…
It's not what you think. As our earth starts to turn into a sauna, places change. One of which is a small ski resort in France. The snow disappears sooner than it should, grass appears and the skiers disappear, as well. This is not an isolated case and, unfortunately, it's likely a…
Here is a tale about making sure that you have made sure that you have booked the correct place: it is paramount. Double check your work before handing it in. Call ahead and confirm.
Every day, we scour the Interwebs to find content that we think you'll like. We try to steer away from the typical standard normal usual stuff that you usually see in your inbox. We love to travel, we've done it a lot and we want to find new and interesting options for ourselves…
Don't be afraid of the dark. We humans have found a way to conjure up almost any scenario, whether real, imminent or purely fictional. "The end is nigh!" "We only have X number of days on this planet before it implodes!" Well, in our opinion, so far, so good -…
Women are busy. They do a lot. So many rely on them. It's not an easy job. So is it any surprise that they want to go out, have a blast, let off some steam and paint the town red? No, of course not. And, so, some adroit travel…
Does trying to book a flight on an airline sometimes feel like witchcraft? That is, you poke around on dozens of travel sites, pull out your calculator, plug the figures into your spreadsheet, compare with other sites and then end up with different costs as you go from site to site? (Don't blame…
... and she is terminally pretty (see video below.) Well, as you'll know if you frequent our site, we travel a lot, and as part of that, we inevitably need to stay overnight somewhere. Naturally. You will also know that we love architecture, especially architecture in which we can reside. It could be…
From our viewpoint, Chile is a country that doesn't get enough "travel love," compared to so many other countries. We might be a little bit guilty of that too, but not for long. To be fair, Chile is quite a hike to get to. Flight connections are not always easy, nor cheap.…
Stay at the SpongeBob Water Tower. Spend a holiday with Spongebob, Patrick, Mr. Crabbs and the entire Bikini Bottom clan. There are three floors in which to frolic, do the twist and get into all sorts of trouble.
Want to take a cruise, but perhaps have a few conditions that need to be met first? The cruise can’t be too long, the ship too crowded and not to the Caribbean again. Well, we have an option: Montreal and beyond, eh?
There are probably very few people who wouldn’t like to sleep in a castle. And not a pretend castle made of drywall and ill-conceived decorations situated in Atlantic City. We mean a genuine castle, with hundreds of years of almost mind-boggling history, paintings of the landed gentry from the year 1430!
