Halligen’s Island

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale a tale of a fateful trip, that started from this tropic port, aboard this tiny ship. Does that ring any bells, Cap'n? If you lived in North America or Canada in the 1960's you'll know that song - the theme from Gilligan's Island. …

It’s not an illusion….

.....  it's an Ilyushin IL-96-300 from Madrid, touching down in Havana, Cuba. And the blogger here is rather pleased. It's less about the flight and more about the aircraft, the Ilyushin il-96-300. In some countries, the idea of Russian planes and the country of Cuba get sabers rattling and spittle splattering in all directions.…

Another European-focused post for you, and this one steps into the focus in that it isn't a travel article, per se, but it certainly affects those who wish to visit the continent. If you're a European citizen, you can also disregard the topic; you're exempt from the conversation just by the fact that you're…

Back to the futuro

We love to look back at the past, although sometimes its painful having seen how little our species has learned over the decades. So, it's a bit of a thrill to be able to rewind to something unique and rather amazing that was born, faded away and then has come sharply into focus once…

We snuck inside an abandoned airport

This post comes with all precautions and disclaimers alerts: What the creators of this video did was most certainly not permitted, nor was it a great idea (although we love the idea) and, to be honest, their kinda innocent take on the whole escapade is kinda endearing, although you might want to discourage any…
