Come fly with me, let’s fly, let’s fly away.
Join us – sing along with Tony Bennett. The Welsh will join right in with three-part harmony.
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. …
If there's a vice or a trade that hurts animals, we're against it. The wanton, senseless murder for sport went on for far too long to the point of annihilating a number of species, many of them endangered to being with. But, are you heading off on a mindful safari? How…
Let's propel ourselves into another epoch and era, and it's all about art. Rest assured that this will not be some stiff academia boffin boring you to tears. The period we'll be highlighting here is all about Art Nouveau and, even better, it's short and sweet and it's a treat. As a…
We like to feature Belgrade when we can, as it’s a genuinely diverse and fun place to visit. You can cast away all of the cobwebs of the olde Belgrade, as those are yesterday’s news and certainly not the reality of this up-and-coming destination.
Here's another delightful bubbling under find (for most of us.) We scour the globe every day to find little known destinations for you. It was only recently when we discovered the Perhentian Islands. A visit to the Perhentian Islands is taking a step into a rare, exotic paradise, and the perfect place to…
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
Some billionaires are solely focused on themselves. We won't necessarily point any fingers, but you'll know who they are. Lately they're getting back press for the way that they treat themselves, sometimes appearing almost like a clown or buffoon. It's truly a shame that they don't look at the bigger picture and…
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. …
Another instalment of our continuing series of webcams all across the planet, where you can - in real-time - vicariously relax in a place where you might never have been before. Here, we feature South Africa's Cape Town, and the lovely Clifton 4th beach. Picture a crescent-shaped strip of soft, powdery white sand…
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…
The USA gets lots of press, pretty much every day. Some good, some bad. And sometimes the actions of the US Government taint US citizens, whether they agree or not. That happens with many countries, of course, but the US's fingers are long, deep and pervasive, as well as persuasive. But, of…
Magically, as our technology gets better (forget TikTok and Facebook for now) the layers of our earth are - in the capable hands of archeologists - gently peeled back to go forth into the past, telling us more about ourselves. Sometimes the news is not good: humans have a habit of destroying…
(*Collapsing old buildings.) Or, when will they ever learn? Yet another post in our series of watching history disappear, like it or not. In this case, it's an example of the US government's intent to raze two important buildings in Chicago, Illinois. These historic Chicago skyscrapers should stay, as they acted as the…
