We live in North America, but have lived in other parts of the world, too. It still boggles our minds how so many the residents of this part of Mother Earth still cling to the idea that a fossil-fuel burning vehicle is the way to go when it comes to getting around. Admittedly, some have…
Europe is filled with history - sometimes you literally trip over it - but the best art is in the museums. And if you've been in any of the European museums. you'll know that much of the world's best art is contained in them. And, of course, that's because some of the world's best art…
If you read our site often, you'll know how much we love history, especially if it is one that you can touch and admire from close-up, rather than afar. And, unlike many travel choices, what you see is what you get. No tampering, no shifty "enhancements." No virtual reality. It's what…
Mother Earth is still fighting the good fight, despite so many of us giving her a hard time. She keeps warning us, but many of us are still not listening. And if things keep going the way that they are, there won't be any rooms where she will send us when we've misbehaved:…
We could be wrong, but it feels like Covid is on the decline and that we can again breath a collective sigh of relief, pun intended. But, to be sure, it's not gone completely so be safe out there, as they say.
And, as thanks, we can start to live our lives again but,…
Camping is one of those love it / hate it propositions. Most of us are not in love with mosquitos. And, even in the summer, sleeping on the ground in a tent can be a lumpy and cold prospect. But, to be sure, the outdoor locations are usually mind-bogglingly beautiful, and you…

These kinds of posts are always fun - the birth of a new baby, as it were. In this case, the baby is an Airbus A350 that is now proudly part of ITA. And who is ITA, you may ask? Well, out of the troubled, yet much loved, Alitalia comes new…
We travel a lot, and we love Venice. We've been there many times. You never know what you'll find, as not only does the city change (festivals, art, new places to eat) but it also stays the same and you can follow its ever-changing pulse if you so desire. But this post is about a…
Walk in the worn out shoes of DaVinci. Anyone who has visited the oldest cities in Italy - take Venice for example - know that the streets are tight, twisty and sometimes confusing. And that, of course is due to the fact that so many European cities are hundreds, if not thousands, of years old.…
... with the sound of savings! Chances are, when you think of visiting Europe, you might find yourself defaulting to the "classic" locations: Italy, Spain, France etc. And as much as we love those places, too, there are so many other countries that are "bubbling under" that deserve a little love from you. One of…
We love to travel, and we've been to (or lived in) more than thirty five countries in our lives. We hope that you'll keep us in mind when you look for travel options. We focus on self-travel options, but also have excellent tour companies, too. See G Adventures, below. But, if you're looking for something else…
If you haven't visited the Vatican in Rome, please be sure to add it to your list. Not only are the Vatican buildings, themselves, incredible, but the Vatican museum will blow your mind. As you may know, the Vatican itself is an independent city-state and enclave located within Rome, Italy and it is a distinct…
We love Italy, in all of its manic, passionate, explosive, colourful and diverse personality. Everyday living there almost pushes the best of everyone into living life to the fullest, if not the extreme. And, it has always been this way - for thousands of years. And, so we are fortunate to live in a day…
In addition to its other many allures, Canada cannot escape the universal tagging of poutine. (In case you're not up to date, poutine is a sumptuous Canadian concoction made of french fries, gravy and cheese curds. It's addictive) Not that we Candians complain, but c'mon now, there is more to the country than just that.
For…
The Covid-19 pandemic has caused pandemonium everywhere, especially when it comes to the world of tourism.
As you'll know, Leonardo DaVinci's Last Supper is one of the most visited and admired tourist attractions in the world. It did not escape the travel drought, either.
But, happily, it is now open again for you to visit. The Santa…
Sometimes, all you need is a nice low-level flight over a beautiful place. How about Italy's Dolomites?
And when you touch down . . .
The Italian Dolomites are divided into Western Dolomites and Eastern Dolomites by the Cordevole creek (a tributary of the Piave river) which flows through the province of Belluno. Dolomites are also divided…
We don't know about you, but we started crying like babies when we saw James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 being trashed in No Time to Die. They don't make them like that anymore.. That's like adding glitter to the Mona Lisa.
But, like little childen, we were soon distracted by the mesmerising, almost, surreal beauty of…
