We live in Canada, but have lived and traveled all around the globe for decades. The country is still somewhat of a haven if you want to bask in common sense, politeness, and general good vibes. There are many cities in The Great White North, but most of the accolades go to the…
We're pretty sure that the stable genius isn't going to any thing about it, other than bark "drill baby drill." So it only makes sense that mother Europe will pick up the toys that you know who threw out of the pram. Just in case you haven't been paying attention, Solar energy is…
Here's a timely post, one focused on one of the more popular countries at the moment, and that would be Canada. It's always been there, for sure, but it's only been in the past few years where it's really had its place in the sun (even if there's snow.) People usually think of…
“It’s Niagara Falls. It’s one of the most beautiful natural wonders in the world. Who wouldn’t want to walk across it?” Nik Wallenda, a man famed for daredevil stunts, said this about Niagara Falls when asked why he wanted to walk across on a tightrope.
We're going to come out clean on this post. Utterly selfish. Me me me. What about, you may ask? It's about how and why Iberia has added a 9-Hour Airbus A321XLR Flights To Canada. You see, we're up here in the Great White North (where it actually be called the Great…
Whole lotta Meota? It’s only natural, eh?
“Life is like a train ride. The passengers on the train are seemingly going to the same destination as you, but based on their belief in you or their belief that the train will get them to their desired destination they will stay on the ride or they will get off somewhere during the trip.”
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.

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.…
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. Our choice is consuming "the real thing" rather than memes and sites like TikTok. …
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…
