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…

The world is a rather big place, blanketed with water, glorious water. In fact, about 71 percent of the Earth's surface is water-covered. And that H20 that courses through us also draws us in as humans as if we were hypnotized. Did you know that up to 60% of the human adult body is water?…
Reach for the stars and you may get a handful. And that is an idiom (that we just made) up that might well describe the pickle that Dubai is in now with it's gobsmackingly huge Ain Dubai project. Intended to be the largest Ferris wheel in the world, this awesome - literally awesome…
Tell me that you've got everything you want, and your car can sing. Another delightful "out of left field" post here, and this one that anyone can enjoy, assuming that you have a car (or any vehicle with tires) and the right road. Having a map or GPS isn't a bad idea, either.…
Europe for less than £795. And that includes up to 15 days!
There’s always room for one more.
Step by step. Inch by inch.
Double your pleasure, double your fun. Trainball, anyone?
You know our mantra here on our site. We love travel and we love history, and we love it when we can combine the two. And we love it even more when we find hidden treasures around the globe. Even more, it's always a thrill to be able to highlight history in…
.... that likes taking the scenic route? R2-Detour. Oh, ha ha ha. We crack ourselves up sometimes. And why not? You only live once. Depending on where you live, enjoying the Disney experience may never present itself to you for one reason or another. And that would be…
Let's get right to the point, here. Why stay in an unoriginal, boring cardboard box when you travel? You don't go to Paris to see the Champs-Elysees . . . again . . do you? When you're surrounded by luxurious 16th mini-palaces that you can actually afford, why would you stay in…
Why should the rich be the only ones who get in on all of the good things in life? Well, yes, of course, they're rich. But why does that matter? Yes, you're right, I understand that their riches often pay for the luxuries that us Hoi polloi have. Fine, so they…
Malta is the answer. And it's a place that many often forget about, which is a huge shame. If you're not in the know, Malta itself is a beautiful Mediterranean island nation with a rich history, stunning landscapes, and a unique culture that makes it a compelling destination for travelers. And it's easy…
Either you love San Francisco or you are wrong.
Lloret de Mar is your relaxed secret Spanish playground.
Come see “the breaded ones”
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…
Here's another instalment of our ongoing Hey Presto parade of Webcams, worldwide. You may not be able to be there, but you can be there, if you know what we mean. Webcams provide a real-time connection to places, events, or situations that you might not be able to experience otherwise. This can create…
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,…
Every day, we pour over what the internet has to offer, evaluate whether it's worthy or not, and if it is, we leave it here for you to enjoy. Some of our posts are rather simple - such as the one today - because not everyone who is on the Internet needs to…
