Train train, we're on the roll again. Can you ever get enough rail? Those of us who have ready access to rail know what we mean: we even take it for granted. But not everyone or every place has this staple way of traveling. And even if rail is there, it's…
Relaxation
We're pretty confident that this post will ring some bells or at least offer a laugh or two, and even some sound ideas. Question: what do you do when you consider yourself a world traveler, tried and true, with all of the scratches, burns and bump that it entails, but then, slowly and…
What kind of place is this, anyway? It's sandals, and you are free to simply be you. While many all-inclusive resort companies offer a standard package of a room, buffet meals, and house drinks, Sandals Resorts distinguishes itself by operating under a self-coined "Luxury Included®" philosophy. Rather than competing on price, Sandals differentiates itself…
Yes, your time has come. You've shut down the laptop, handed in your badge and have relinquished your spot in the car park. So, are you ready to take on the brand new day? Looking forward to start slowly, and then taper off? It's a great feeling. We've passed that…

Ahh, La Belle France, especially places like Cannes are not to be missed. Can you ever get enough of it.

They are located in seven coastal destinations across Mexico, including Nuevo Vallarta (Nayarit), Riviera Maya, Los Cabos, Acapulco, Puerto Peñasco, Puerto Vallarta, and Mazatlán. If you haven't been to that…
We love the Beatles. Have even seen some of them live. One of the songs that we have lodged in our brains is Back in the USSR. Playful, joyous and super catchy. Kind of some of the positive elements we need nowadays. After pondering the song, I wondered if there's a…
Do you ever feel like you're suffocating, or are trapped in a place where you really don't want to be? The longing for quiet places is not just a modern "escape" from city life; it is a deep-seated biological and evolutionary drive. In 2026, as we grapple with the highest levels of "information noise" in…
From a biological perspective, we're mostly water. That's why waterside holidays always thrill us when we have the chance to kick off our shoes, plop down on a lounger and let the world go by. You may have tried this tried and true method of letting it all hang out. But, life…
We've always been big fans of rail. From the time your editor heard trains echoing while I was young and being asked to go to sleep. The sound. The Rumble. I've also lived for many decades in England, where rail is expected, not a nice to have. With rail readily at…

Other quotes emphasize the cultural dedication to quality and a meticulous approach, such as Akio Toyoda’s quote about learning from mistakes, or describe the passion in the culture and modification…

The travel business can be a wild one, especially in this day and age, where "influencers" are piling on the "content." As we often remind ourselves, we genuinely are thankful for being in the travel business and having the opportunity to discover, and then share our good fortune with you. One such affiliate friend…
Dust. The Japanese service stations are leaving the rest of us in the dust. Wow! When we lived in the UK, we were rather impressed with our roadside services, especially with the ease of entering and exiting. We also appreciated how we could just step out side our car, stretch and sometimes…
Truly, genuinely. Here's something that your editor recently discovered from a tip by my better half. And, unlike most clickbait these days, this content actually does what it says on the label. Even better, it's focused on mature travelers like you and me. As it says "From the timeless charm of…
