Don't mistake the title of this post to infer "naughty cruise ships" or "filthy cruise ships", or "saucy cruise ships" although we're sure that there are those types floating about, as it were. You can imagine / infer what those titles mean (in your spare time.) But, if we step out of the…

We don't know about you, but the excitement and buildup to a trip is always enervating and exciting. But then, you get on your plane, fly to your destination, hobble down the stairs and into the terminal and then . . . wherever you go, your holiday is reset by jet lag. …
Yes, yes . . we know. That headline is not The King's "well English" but maybe it caught your attention. So, with no further ado, we will leap headfirst into yet another rail post. As we often say, rail travel is the future and the present in some places. In…
We travel a lot, and much of it can be really frustrating, especially when some of the rules and regulations seem like a test (suitcase sizes, for example) and if you have to take two airlines, their suitcase sizes are, of course different, which then forces you to buy yet another suitcase - likely one…
There's a reason why we especially like our affiliate friends, Virgin Airlines, in any of its configurations. And so we like to feature the airline when we can. Sir Richard Branson is holding up to his promises, and one of those is to promote and use Virgin Atlantic’s historic flight on 100% Sustainable…
By any measurement, two miles a minute is fast, and you're probably expecting this to be some kind of experimental speed measurement. Or maybe it's the latest idea from Elon Musk, a rocket tunnel under the sands of Nevada. Or could it be some other as-yet unknown vehicle where you need to wear…
Surely one of the most annoying, frustrating and exasperating elements of travel is the act of simply trying to find your seat on your plane. And then combine that with attempting to hustle your luggage into an overhead compartment even remotely close to your seat. What's even more annoying is that this mazurka…
The mystery still lingers
It's September of 2023. Any thinking person will be aware of and supportive of UNESCO. As we watch the world fall / burn to pieces over these past couple of years, we need the organisation even more. Big oil is still beating its chest to the call of dozens of waiting billionaires.…
The fastest sleep you’ve ever had.
Duty now for the future. Take the train, Jane.
Most of the developed world relies on rail. Do your part.
It’s a long walk to your gate. Be prepared.
One thing about the world is that you'll never run out of things to do. Lucky us. And here we feature another such place that we're willing to bet that most of us haven't heard of, let alone seen. It's Ajara. A region located in southwestern Georgia, it offers a unique…
There is a place in Germany where Nazi ideals still exist.
You really should use airplane mode when you fly, for a load of good reasons.
Either you love San Francisco or you are wrong.
Moulay-Idriss-Zerhoun is Moroccan me happy
Not your typical Wild Men of Borneo.
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…
