Do Something Different
Lloret de Mar is your relaxed secret Spanish playground.
Not your typical Wild Men of Borneo.
Reading the news recently, post-Covid it feels like everything is falling apart. Flights are delayed or - even worse - canceled with little or no warning. Some seasoned airlines don't seem to be able or willing to solve on-the-ground problems with their flight schedule issues. Calling it frustrating doesn't even begin to…
Come see “the breaded ones”

Sorry if we seem a bit repetitious and over-excited when it comes to rail travel. We have loads of articles (see here) about why rail is the way to go and why all travelers should use it when they can. The earth is on fire and now is the time to act to…
We rail on and on again (get it?) about rail. It is the past, present and future of travel. Especially the future. As automobiles continue to clog up the roads, polluting all the while, carrying - maybe - five persons in the vehicle, it becomes more and more apparent that this is…
Thun, Switzerland. Many, many, many years ago, your editor was a part-time software consultant, and a part-time musician. As one benefit of the latter career, I was fortunate enough to tour Europe, making music over a number of separate tours. Even though I had been to the UK many, many times, the music…
This is the road less traveled. Slow down and visit forgotten places.
Being a pilot is serious business.
Take some good shoes.
. . . 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…
As if Machu Pichu isn't thrilling enough, the clever Peruvian people have found a way to make your stay there even stickier and more fun. (We'll come to that in a moment.) Above and beyond that most desired location, Peru has so many add-ons or alternatives that will absolutely take your breath away, especially when…
They say that history repeats itself. Especially when the connectivity is good.
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…
Vancouver, Canada is where we live. It is a relatively new city, even though it is still about 137 years old. Founded in 1886, and like any city, it has a chequered past, as one group of people after another passes through the fledgling community over the decades. Some came to dismantle the forests…
Easyjet manage around 1,800 flights and carrying around 250,000 customers per day. They have to be good.
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. …
