One of our valued affiliate friends, VRBO, sent some details to a place we'd never heard of - McAllen Texas. The email featured lots of nice places to rent, so we were curious. What is McAllen Texas like? What's there for us (and you!) to see and do? So, as you…
We love cars, especially classic, luxury and exotic. We've had a bunch of them over the years, but we also realise that they have an impact on our planet, so we take the trains as much - if not more - than we do cars. But that doesn't reduce our love of beautiful…
If you have no interest in automobiles, skip to our next post. We're being a bit selfish.
Spend some time on our site, and you'll periodically see posts about SAAB cars. We love them, and have owned almost a dozen of them - including a classic 900 cabriolet to this day. And…
Never ones to not think big, the Saudis have the will and the resources to think beyond. They ask "what if we could start again? THE LINE rethinks everything we know about how people live, work and play. A 170 km-long vertical city, designed around people, rather than cars. A revolution in urban living. A…

Mother nature has provided so many mind-blowing spectacles for us humans to explore and desire. So much so that we will likely not see them all. But that doesn't stop us from trying, especially when some of them are so accessible and "special" in the true sense of the word.
Portugal is (to us) a…
Even if you're not a history nut, Greece is always a delight. From the non-stop frenzy of Athens, to the perfect silence of island like Paros, Greece always has a pleasant surprise for you.
One of the world's most popular tourist destinations, ranking in the world's top 20 countries, Greece will capture you, calling you to slow…
Some simply believe, no matter the odds. If you’re a religious ephemera afficianado, then the Hill of Crosses is a place that you should seek. Located in northern Lithuania, not far from the city of Siauliai, the hill is the resting place of over 100,000 crosses, crucifixes, statues and carvings places on the site by…
Big dreams can have big repercussions. Even when you're smart. To make a long story short, Henry Ford was a hard charger with big plans. In the march to better processes and bigger profits, Ford wanted both. But, in the late 1920's, Ford realised that one rather large problem was delaying…
We always get thrilled when we hear of another groundbreaking (literally and figuratively) archaeological excavation. Due to technology, they're happening ever more frequently with sometimes stunning quality.
Situated in southeastern Turkey, the subterranean city of Matiate has recently been unearthed and is truly gasp-inducing in its size and quality. To give you an…
We're big fans of camping, especially because it can be so economical. From throwing your sleeping bags and tent into the back of your car, all the way up to renting a comfortable campervan, it's a great way to see the world without going bankrupt.
We're sure that many of you consider camping as…

We humans are always looking for good ways to improve ourselves. We want to be more efficient, more healthy, more loving and loveable. It's part of who we are. Thoughtful things, such as howing up on time. Dressing appropriately. Remembering the little things. Holding the door open. Et cetera.
Some people…
If you know us, you’ll know that we have a sweet spot for some companies. One of which is Europe’s EasyJet.

They also have teriffic holiday packages, as well.

We think it's safe to say that most, if not all, of our erudite readers are always happy to eat Mexican food. As much as we love Taco Bell, there is nothing like the real thing, made by real Mexican cooks (and, ideally by someone's madre.) And, the sheer number of dishes that grace the…
To us, anyway, there are few things that have the potential to go bad on a holiday than hiring a car. Paperwork as long as your arm, terms and conditions that are an enigma wrapped in a paradox and shrouded in a conundrum. And, even worse, you don't get the type of vehicle that you…
Want to really impress your sweetheart? Yes, a ring is nice. So is a holiday in Tahiti. You can never go wrong with a new convertible.

Well, even if your chances of being launched into space via Blue Origin, or SpaceX or Virgin are slim to…
If you're a tech buff - especially a car buff - you will most likely be aware of Morgan Cars. Made by hand - literally - by a small but passionate crew in the Malvern Hills of England, the cars look like something that would have been driven by The Green Hornet or Dick Tracy. …
