War is hell. Let’s put an end to it.
Want to show off to your friends? Want to add your name to the Guinness Book of World Records? Want to spend a little spare cash? Here's an odd and humorous topic for all of you high-value air travelers. This may appear to be pure selfishness, courtesy of some Johnny Bigpants, where…
Once again, we return to the UK for this post, but this post is a bit specific. You should know by now that England (and all of the UK) is filled with locations, activities and history that are hard to beat. Literally, at every corner, there is something from antiquity that will stop…
If you're a business, changing the name of your organization can be a bit of a nightmare. For example, in 2015, Google reorganized under a new name, Alphabet. Pop Quiz: how many of you recall Google Alphabet? Not too many, we would wager. Here's another one that will really prove your age:…
This could be another one of those "been there, done that" stories, where frenzied travelers (or travel bloggers) flee at full speed just to meet their self-imposed deadlines. But, seriously, that's not what travel should be about. You likely flew for ten or more hours to get there, so why rush it? …
We will remember this time in history as the time where everything went wrong all at once. Between Covid, forest fires, floods, earthquakes and people fighting each other, probably not even knowing why.
So, to add salt to the wound, there are even problems with obtaining planes to be able to shuttle those who…
Put the hammer down, good buddy. There’s a Smokey bear in the air.
Tokyo Cyberpunk City. Neon. Coffee. Noise. Lights. Food. Yeah!
There’s no getting around getting around. But we can get ahead of climate change.
The more things change, the more they remain the same.
Come fly with me, let’s fly, let’s fly away.
Happily, this is, for the most part, a philosophical question and not a pragmatic one. But what if? You're not a pilot, you've never even flown a Cessna 172 and now you, the hero, are faced with the plot of a bad movie. The pilot and co-pilot are not fully cognizant. …
For example, Singapore Airlines’ New York City to Singapore route: its longest flight path, which connects Singapore’s Changi Airport with New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, 9,585 miles away, takes 18 hours and 40 minutes
OK, all of you Billy Joe and Bobby Sue wannabes, if you're looking for the authentic Dukes of Hazzard vibes, then get ready; we have the place for you. Morph into Bo, Luke Duke and Daisy Duke at a real, if somewhat reduced service offering at the Occoneechee Nascar track in Raleigh–Durham, in North Carolina,…
A topic we often highlight - billionaires - is high on everyone's list nowadays , especially if you live inside TicTok. Achieving that amount of money was only a dream for most entrepreneurs even ten years ago. But, thanks to the connected world of the internet coupled with the sheer creativity of those…
We love cars, although we're sensible enough to know that their place (as it is now) on earth is not helping the environment at all. Having lived in and experienced a number of locations in the world, even as the earth burns, we still see six litre pickup trucks and supercars trundling (and…
Where do we even start with this one? Good intentions, excellent execution, a sound business plan and then . . pfft. Nothing. Nada, Nunca. Zwentendorf is a nuclear power reactor in Austria in the Austrian state of Lower Austria. It was decided that the region needed a power plant. …
We don't think we're wrong when we say that the Nordic people of Europe are some of the most forthright, sensible and honest people on the planet. The Nordic countries, also known as the Nordics or Scandinavia, generally refer to Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. Each country has its unique characteristics, but there…
Flying is quite the endeavor, nowadays. What with Covid 19 decimating air travel a few years back, to the proliferation / explosion of people around the globe being able to fly now, and actually doing so. Did you know that Every day, some 93,000 flights take off from approximately 9,000 airports? And at…
