Oi. Get to the point!
“Both sides believe that peace, development and cooperation lie at the core of the modern international system.”
The United States is the United States. Europe is Europe. Correct? Apparently not, when it comes to flying. If you travel regularly, you'll know about the concept of codeshare. A codeshare agreement, also known as codeshare, is a business arrangement, common in the aviation industry, in which two or more airlines…
As if the relationship between Canada and the USA isn't convoluted enough, did you know that 50% of all Canadian citizens live south of essentially the 45th Parallel. Canada is one of the largest countries by land in the world, but its population of only 38 million is about ten times less than the United…
The modern-day relationship between Canada and the United States has always been a good one. Nearly always peaceful, the two countries share many similarities: language, laws, trade and more.
Cross-border travel is another. The width of Canada and the USA are immense, 7069 kilometres from the west to the east, to be exact. Getting around can…
We were looking through some family photos the other day, mostly of my mother and father. They came from a place in Europe where money was scarce in the post-war 1950's. But they still endured. Eventually they ended up in the USA. But they never wasted a moment in living their lives…
Once upon a time, we humans got around solely on foot, or perhaps with a beast of burden to shuttle us to and fro. Slow, back-breaking and inefficient. This can't be the way forward. Sure, waterways were excellent in many locations, but were expensive to build and maintain. There must have…
Tick tock, Tick tock, sounds the clock. The planet is not cooling down. Quite the opposite. The current world population is 8,232,458,392 as of Monday, June 30, 2025 according to the most recent United Nations estimates. Most of us know about this existential threat. But most just go on their way, with nary…
And, as ever, they've got some terrific deals for avid travelers. If you act soon, you can save up to £600 per couple on wide selection of European and Worldwide tours! But, you might want to look sharp. This time of year often gives us the itch to get up and go. …
Well, here's a first for us. Being British, having lived there for decades, passport and everything, we thought we'd seen most of Great Britain (and we have.) We love the country, the people, the vibe and, most of all, the history. We won't belabor you with long swathes of prose about Britain.…
Lesotho? Lesooto? Pity the poor gate agents or travel agents when they realise that they are not up to speed on this rather nice country. Luh·soo·too is the correct way to say it. But, no matter how you say it, it's nice and it's genuinely a find that will get your friends jumping…
Pity poor Marseille. For decades it's been the brunt of derision, conflict, misunderstanding and stasis. And that's a shame, as no part of France should have to explain itself or make adjustments. But here we are. Marseille, France's second-largest city, has long carried a reputation as the "trouble child" of France. This perception…
As of this posting, the world is still grappling with the herkie jerky activities of the United States president. We won't waste any time on that, but will aim our focus on other ways to while away the hours until he goes away. There are plenty of other places to go if you…
Won't you let me take you on a TUI cruise? Anyone remember that hit? We say this all the time, but we really mean it. We're super lucky to have been able to build a super group of affiliate partners. They're diverse and ever-changing. It certainly makes our job easier and more…
It's not often when experiences like this one appears. especially when the experience leaps across so many activities. This is an exciting one for sure, and something that will surely and truly be unforgettable. Seek out serenity on remote island paradises, engage your senses in vibrant cultural capitals, and uncover the magic of…
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. That will be us all eventually. Even with a stiff wind and the best intentions, activities, adventures and endeavors will still be championed by champions of business and commerce. Chests held high, faces into the wind, these hearty individuals will damn the torpedoes to a new…
Even though we're not exactly huge fans anymore, given that our grown-up teens are now into their twenties and thirties, there is still some alure to Las Vegas, a place we used to go (and take them) many times and many decades ago. It's a place that's easy to get to, a place where…
You are not just a nationality, but a citizen of the world. You are not just for the right or left, but for what is right over the wrong.
