. . . it's really really where I'm going to. If you're a gamer, then do we have the holiday for you, and this is a win-win situation, for sure. Firstly, it's based in and centered around Brussels, Belgium, where the history looms large, the beer cannot be beaten, nor can the food.…
Thanks to the Electric Interwebs, we modern species of humans are able to go back in time to either remember, or to learn anew. Not surprisingly, one of the most memorable places on earth is Los Angeles, and it has been for decades. As busy and as thriving as it is, we discovered…
When it comes to history, some people would rather crawl under a rock than sit and watch historians argue about who is right and who is wrong. Of course, there is usually an answer that the boffins land on eventually, otherwise we all would still be living in caves. We love history, so…
We don't know about you, but we still shiver with tears when we look back on the videos of Notre Dame on fire. Even if you've been to Paris dozens of times, that most marvelous of buildings still makes our heart race when we walk up to its doors. On 15 April 2019, just…
Years ago, when your editor was a wee sprog, I discovered progressive rock music. One of the leading promoters of that genre was Richard Branson's Virgin records. Those of you of a certain age will certainly remember Tubular Bells: Sir Richard brought that most amazing event / LP to the public. …
We've been to Cartagena, Colombia many, many times. Why, you may ask? We have family there, but - even more - it's such a wonderful place to be (as is all of Colombia.) Relaxed, hip, diverse, fun and rich in history. And the food transcends. Located on the northern coast…
Singapore is a captivating destination with a unique blend of modernity, culture, and natural beauty. As Simon and Garfunkel once said, slow down, you're moving too fast. You've got to make the morning last. But, if you're a go for the gusto, to-the-extreme, what's in it for me win-win situation, been there,…
Once again, we return to the UK for this post, but this post is a bit specific. You should know by now that England (and all of the UK) is filled with locations, activities and history that are hard to beat. Literally, at every corner, there is something from antiquity that will stop…
... a rail tale, as it were. We write about Cleveland, Ohio, USA every so often. Interestingly, the city seems to capture the attention of thousands of people regularly, even though it is slowly shrinking away. So, why would you want to visit Cleveland, Ohio and - in this case -…
This could be another one of those "been there, done that" stories, where frenzied travelers (or travel bloggers) flee at full speed just to meet their self-imposed deadlines. But, seriously, that's not what travel should be about. You likely flew for ten or more hours to get there, so why rush it? …
It's sometimes a stigma if we signal that we want to be alone for a while. There is nothing wrong with that. Usually we're our best company - at least we can be honest with ourselves - maybe. Being alone provides the opportunity to connect with your thoughts, feelings, and interests…
You've undoubtedly seen the photos. You may have even been to this most famous mountain itself. You may have even taken the iconic train ride to the top, but what else do you know about the Jungfraujoch? Do you know how it operates? How does it operate in an extreme blizzard?…
We have a real find here for you in this place. Once you stay, you'll never want to go back to an everyday hotel again. The Dive Bar, Motel & Swim Club in Nashville, Tennessee. You may be too young to remember places like this. Or, perhaps you're too old to remember.…
Join us – sing along with Tony Bennett. The Welsh will join right in with three-part harmony.
