Dust. The Japanese service stations are leaving the rest of us in the dust. Wow! When we lived in the UK, we were rather impressed with our roadside services, especially with the ease of entering and exiting. We also appreciated how we could just step out side our car, stretch and sometimes…

It's August of 2025 as we write this post. America's Stable Genius (as he calls himself) has the world on pins and needles as we wonder what can possibly happen next. Where can we go? How can we plan? Website "The Travel" have come up with a few ideas. Canadians'…
If life leaves you with lemons, make lemonade. We humans really have the chance to make things better. A better world, a better future, better relations and better lives. All it takes is some positivity, some elbow grease and a lot of help. Oh yes, in this case, a good example…
UPDATED. Forget your F16 fighters, your advanced weaponry, electronic warfare, cyber warfare, and information warfare. You know nothing. Ancient technologists would just laugh you out into the street. When you watch the video above, you'll see what we mean and you will certainly be humbled. Meet The Murud-Janjira fort in Maharashtra, India. The…
Note to self: always trust your government: especially now. Stupid isn't limited to our current governmental workings, but it's in full force as of this post. Here's an example. Fort Montgomery has a complex history tied to border disputes and military conflicts. Initially, an unnamed fort was built on the site in…
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.…

These days, we get the feeling that, due to some countries and their so-called leaders, the rest of the world is on pins and needles. Just what we need is more war, right? Every so often, though, there are rays of sunshine that break through to shine a light on simple goodness. …
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…
Well, try as hard as we can, the dumbness of Royal His Dumbness still lingers over on this side of the country. He just doesn't seem to get the message does he? Maybe he can't read. So, we are based in Vancouver Canada. Today we wandered downtown to see the city because the…

Roads worldwide are excellent. What is your next adventure?
Whatever floats your boat, sailor.
Relax en trip? Pay less? Save the planet? Ferry interesting!
You CAN get there from here.
Who you gonna call? Oh, ha ha, we can hear you say. Another misguided pun. True, but we're not the only guilty ones. In London, they have Ghost Bus Tours. We took one of their adventures a while back and it was loads of fun. And what a fun…
How many trains run through sand? Not many.
