If you haven't already noticed, we're kinda geeks / dorks here when it comes to certain things. One of which is rail. Why pollute the environment at 65mph when you can hurtle down the tracks at twice that speed - comfortably in a reclining seat, we might add - and where you can…
Partytime
If' you're a parent (or even if you're not,) you'll look back with happiness when you see this. Harken back to the days when your kids were small and easy(ish) to entertain. Almost anything that you did for them was a winner. It could even be riding around the yard in…
Maybe unknown to some. Maybe a bubbling-under hotspot. Maybe on everyone's lips except ours. But, in any case, let's talk about Siargao. It is a stunning tropical island located in the Philippines and has become increasingly popular among tourists in recent years. Here are several reasons why you should consider visiting Siargao…
Mustique is renowned for its exclusivity and privacy. Good luck getting there.
Hey presto! You’re now in Spain.
One thing that Europe doesn't lack is history. It's been around forever, it feels like. Actually, though, the history of Europe is traditionally divided into four time periods: prehistoric Europe (prior to about 800 BC), classical antiquity (800 BC to AD 500.) What is even more amazing than that, is that so…
Time is tight, as well as short. Money can be, too.
Luckily, there are big thinkers who think small in big ways, if you know what we mean. We're thankful for them.
One example is the capsule hotels that are dotted around - mostly in Japan, but in other countries as well. They're exactly what they say…
War is not funny, nor is it something to be admired. But, learning about the horrors of war is something worth doing. History is destined to repeat itself if we don't. We feature history here on our site for those very reasons.
Drive a tank? Yes, you can. And,…
No matter where you live (almost) you're certainly going to be some distance from Australia. For example, from Sydney to Canada is 18 hours, 31 minutes. From Incheon in Korea, the flight time is 11 hours and 05 minutes. And from New York City, it's 20 hours and 41 minutes. It's…
.....just a good pair of shoes. – James Carville. And an open mind. Long considered a place of debauchery and overt sin (what with its booze, crazy street antics and reputation for "saucy" entertainment) the City of New Orleans is all of that, and so much more. New Orleans, located in the…
Boy, you read the news every day and it seems like there is an endless parade of people who make flying miserable. Here are some examples. Prepare to be amazed.
"I was on a flight with really bad turbulence. It went on for about 10 minutes, and then the old lady next to…
Let's have a moment of silence for those who have tried and have failed. Here are just a few. We're sure you'll recognize a few: Sir James Dyson, Steven Spielberg, Thomas Edison, Walt Disney, Albert Einstein, J.K. Rowling, Abraham Lincoln, Jerry Seinfeld... the list goes on and on. But, as…
It’s the most dominant fast food chain on the planet, serving 68 million customers a day in 120 countries. You won’t spot the golden arches, though, anywhere on one tiny island in the easternmost Caribbean. “Bajans didn’t like it,” says Michael Harrison when asked about the absence of McDonalds in Barbados. “When they want a…
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…
Women are busy. They do a lot. So many rely on them. It's not an easy job. So is it any surprise that they want to go out, have a blast, let off some steam and paint the town red? No, of course not. And, so, some adroit travel…
Stay at the SpongeBob Water Tower. Spend a holiday with Spongebob, Patrick, Mr. Crabbs and the entire Bikini Bottom clan. There are three floors in which to frolic, do the twist and get into all sorts of trouble.
We love history, and we love living history even better. And what does that entail? Certainly learning about history is exciting enough, but when you can see it or, in this case, sleep in it, then that's when things get really exciting. It would ne nice to sleep in Windsor Palace,…
It's January of 2023 and we're absolutely loving the Amazon series The Bad Guy. Set in modern Palermo, Italy, it is an hilarious, unpredictable, subtle, violent and binge-worthy story of Mafia families, how they interact and the predictable / unpredictable outcomes that you would imagine. But, unlike most Mafia sagas, it is packed…
Surely this has crossed your mind at one time or another. Let go of your humdrum day-job for a bit. Fly away and do nothing but simply have fun. Take the kids if you have them. If not, simply act like one. And we have the place for you. …
Looking for your next travel destination? Are you a music fan? Do you like to mix the two, maybe with a little ganja and history? Well, we have the perfect combination for you. You've probably guessed it - it's Jamaica. You know it - the Caribbean island nation, that has a…
