	... we might get these toys over on our side of the pond. Are you listening, Renault?  Even though we don't drive all that much anymore here on the west coast of North America, that doesn't mean that we still can't drool over the cars from The Motherland.  It's been many years since…
	We tend to have a bit of fun with the titles of our posts.  Why not?  Life is short. Enjoy it.  But this post excuses itself by the sheer interest of what it is and where it is.  We're pretty sure that it's a question mark to many, but it's definitely…
	...want to go to it. Welcome to La-la-land.  Los Angeles, USA. It still has the punch and the awe and the draw that it's ever had.  Just the names have been changed to protect the innocent.  Some innocent, some asking for it.  But, much like a modern Rome, LA has had…
	This is not your parent's Rwanda anymore. In these days of easy travel, social media and fairly decent prices, you can now get almost anywhere and can go to places you wouldn't have dreamed even five years ago.  But that's what travel is like now. A good example of that is today's Rwanda. The…
	Hyatt? Let's try it. As part of our job, staying up to date  on the latest action in the travel world, we (like many sites such as ours) tend to be bedazzled when something new and glitzy appears, especially when it's coming from a known brand with a long history and an enviable reputation.…

	Man, if there is anything that will get us more excited than trains and planes, it has to be trams. Sad, I know.  They're not everywhere, and that's the thing that makes them so beguiling.  Thus, being able to find one and ride one is an absolute thrill for transport geeks like us.…
	A retrospective post about sea food, seafood and gluttony. Or would that be gluten-y  Where Я your manners?  Cruises are a dream come true to most people. All you can eat, or you can drink, all you can stomach, and all you can't. And as the old old saying goes, nothing succeeds like…
	Your editor has been digging out images from slides and pictures from many decades shot and scanned from my snap-happy father.  I had rediscovered them after my better half purchased a scanner for all of them to be saved forever.  I will always thank her for that.  Parsing through them over several…

	Is it a rail station? Or is it a portal?  Why don't they get in the queue like the rest of us?  Oh yes, we forgot: freedom. The presence of a U.S. Navy entrance at a Tokyo station, specifically referring to Yokosuka, is a result of the post-World War II security alliance between the…
	When we get the chance, we will always, without failure, make a bee-line for Spain for our holidays.  Yes, it's big and it's busy.  But it's also diverse, exciting and has an infinite pull for us that is hard to deny.  And, as is our wont, history is extant everywhere we go.…
	We're forever curious, especially if history is in the conversation.  Lately, for us anyway, it feels like the world is opening its virtual kimono:  there is so much new information and content appearing all across social media.
