Sigh . . . there are the rich, and then there are the super rich. Many of them are hidden away, amassing their fortunes behind closed doors, periodically peeking out to survey the world, much of which they already own. If that's a world where you see yourself, good luck. We support…
Do Something Different
It will come as no surprise to regular reader here how much we love Europe. There are very few places in the world that offer as much diversity, excitement and romance as that most desirable continent. And, if you happen to be in the UK and want to journey to Europe, hiring a…
Are you the edgy type? Looking for something new and different? How about going underground . . . literally. And it's actually perfect if the weather is lousy. How about Rolling hills, deep river valleys, and the world's longest known cave system? Mammoth Cave National Park is home to thousands…
C'mon. Admit it. You're still a kid. You still love all of the things that you used to love, even if your bones and muscles don't always agree. Roller coasters. Surfing. Go-karts. You know.
Well, even if your body complains, there are still lots of things to do where you…
As if being in Spain isn't enough for your average tourist, we have something here that will make visiting even more exciting, especially if you like a good deal . . and a good deal more. Arguably one of Spain’s most significant contributions to global gastronomy, the tapa comes in all shapes and sizes,…
As they say, nothing succeeds like excess. And combine that with persistence, and you've got a winner. But it can be annoying, and sometimes over the top, as is the case here.
Living near an airport has its challenges. If you love flying and planes (like we do) it's less of a…
Here's a post for the soft-spoken people. The people who bask in the quiet. Those who know the sounds of silence. There are plenty of places to find solace: your spare bathroom. Your car in the garage. Even in an underground bunker if you they'll let you in -…
Were you aware that the USA has no less than five UNESCO-designated sites? Taos Mexico is just one.
Your oasis of solitude exists!
It's OK to throw your clothes into a pile in the corner when you're at home. But, you don't really have that luxury when you travel, especially with today's ludicrous prices for checking in your luggage. Right now, you can pay from $30 to $89 per bag, and this is not even factoring…
Do you ever stop to think about your existence on planet Earth? Of all of the known planets (so far) we're the only one with blue waters, blue skies, human beings and Taco Bell. How and why did we end up here? And what else exists for us to know of this…
It's fabulous thing to have lots of money. You can more or less do what you want, even if "it makes no sense." Look at Elon Musk. Or Jeff Bezos. Sheesh.
But, back to reality, there are hundreds of wealthy individuals out there who happily and thoughtfully share their riches: …
Provence is for you. As we say, start slowly, then taper off. And then explore Luberon Market & Villages
A UNESCO site, Benin is a top country to visit on any West African itinerary.
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…
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…
