We're pretty confident that Sri Lanka is one of those places that almost all of us aspire to visit, but never manage to make the trek. It could be due to time, your place in time or your imagination running away with you. Let us allay any things that might get in your way,…
Ah, Venice. What can we say that already hasn't been said? One thing that we're sure has been said or muttered is "how can I reliably get on a Vaporetto? They're always full or late." We might have the solution for you. Our affiliate partners, Klook, have taken a good…
Well, he's at it again, almost the world's ombudsman as he leaps from place to place and situation to situation. That's Walk With Me Tim. He's blown wads of cash, badly, in Vegas. Blown even more in some of the most expensive hotels on the planet, as he always looks for the…
We're quite sure that you, our erudite readers like to get around. You're not content to sit on the sofa and watch soap operas. As the toil and trouble from those TV characters goes in one ear and out the other, you're already miles ahead and plotting your next, real adventure. It's fun…
It's not nice to fool mother nature. As humans, we've been tempting fate when it comes to where we live, what we do and our place on the planet for too long. Some of us revere the planet and do everything we can to save it. Others bludgeon onward without a care in…

Another day, another chance to be zealots and convey the miracle that is rail. We have enough rail content on our site to keep you busy until the cows come home. We often feature the USA's Amtrak, because it often needs a little love. The US government doesn't really give it…

Quito? Neato! This time by train.
We're very fortunate that many of the big content creators have, over the past year or so, been releasing stories, videos and how to visit places that you might want to visit. The films are created, released and then made available on YouTube. When you have creators…
We tend to have a bit of fun with the titles of our posts. Why not? Life is short. Enjoy it. But this post excuses itself by the sheer interest of what it is and where it is. We're pretty sure that it's a question mark to many, but it's definitely…
This is not your parent's Rwanda anymore. In these days of easy travel, social media and fairly decent prices, you can now get almost anywhere and can go to places you wouldn't have dreamed even five years ago. But that's what travel is like now. A good example of that is today's Rwanda. The…
Hyatt? Let's try it. As part of our job, staying up to date on the latest action in the travel world, we (like many sites such as ours) tend to be bedazzled when something new and glitzy appears, especially when it's coming from a known brand with a long history and an enviable reputation.…

A retrospective post about sea food, seafood and gluttony. Or would that be gluten-y Where Я your manners?
Cruises are a dream come true to most people. All you can eat, or you can drink, all you can stomach, and all you can't. And as the old old saying goes, nothing succeeds like…
Your editor has been digging out images from slides and pictures from many decades shot and scanned from my snap-happy father. I had rediscovered them after my better half purchased a scanner for all of them to be saved forever. I will always thank her for that. Parsing through them over several…
East meets west, and we're all winners. Now is one of the better times in human history. It is much easier to get around, compared to decades past. Technology is, let's face it, amazing. And, in many cases, prices are aimed at nearly everyone's pocket. Yes, the world is generally…
