What’s the first thing they did with it? Took it to the Gobi Desert of course!
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…
Not long ago, the title of this post could (and still does) convey the allure and beauty that Alexandria has to offer, but now with the GEM Museum finally being open, it's time to make your way to Egypt to be amazed with what the museum has for you. It's astounding, really. …
We've been to Las Vegas many times and, despite our Puritan feelings of guilt, we never fail to have a good time there. Sure, it's insane (using that word in its correct context) and OTT (over the top,) and the powers that be there always have a knack to conjure up something new that…
Guildford, Surrey, UK. Get your virtual walking shoes ready to explore this historic and still very lively place.
We all have feelings: even buildings, cars, aircraft or tacos have feelings. There are instruments that can measure it and prove it. There are songs written about it. Often, when we enter a building, we can even viscerally feel its presence. Some are bright, bouncy and welcoming. With others, you can…
Remember the days of yore, when you could simply and easily book a flight from the comfort of your laptop, getting top savings almost without even really trying?
Wherever you go in the USA, one thing is for certain. You can always count on California for a hip, welcoming and relaxed experience.
Oooh . . . a little chance for us to write a post about two things that we love: German cars, and the people who love them. And why, perchance, would this be interesting in the slightest to you, especially if you don't like classic cars? Well, number one, it's about history (and…
We love travel. We love places. We love people, everywhere. But one place that always tickles our fancy is Japan. If there has ever been a country that has gotten the balance right, it's them. The country and its people seem - almost effortlessly - to display to the world…
Public transit is the way to go! The more we use it, the better it (and the planet) gets. We are constantly banging on and on about why we should leave the car behind, when we can. As if we even need to say this in this day and age, here are…
Every place needs its day in the sun, no matter what. Humans need a place to reside, perhaps with a sense of pride, even if there is little to boast about. Some of us have the capacity and ability to jet off to places new, while others never (or rarely) experience the freedom…
. . . on route 66. Somewhere in the mists of our minds, that phrase must still dwell. Of course, it is a remnant of a USA that existed long ago in a time when things were not as complex as they are now for that country. The song and the promise…
No, this has nothing to do with high school wrestling in the United States. That would be known as a half-Nelson. Our topic today is far more interesting in our view, especially if you're one of those who love to uncover and discover places that have long been buried, or ignored, or forgotten,…
This is not an homage to Duke Ellington, but it could be. He proposed that you take the A train, but is this ticket even better? For sure, if you want to discover all of Germany. Starting from May 1, 2023 unlimited travel on many trains and public transport throughout Germany is…
Leave it to the Japanese (as ever) to create an efficient process, but then to add a layer of fun on top. Sure, in this case it's mainly for making commuting more efficient. About 800,000 people take the trains daily and their network now extends to numerous cities, covering over 2,400 km. Specifically, you may…
Rent classic British cars from the 1960’s and onwards. Go on, son. You know it makes sense.
There are 195 countries in the world today, more than enough to keep you busy for the rest of your life, likely. And, when the inevitable comes and taps you on the shoulder, suggesting that maybe you should slow down on the quest to see all 195 of them, you might want to think of your Plan…
Even as we approach our "sunset years," it's clear that most of what we used to be is still with us. Our playfulness. Our sense of humour. Our love of life. Our desire to travel. Seeing live music and enjoying it just as much as we did when we were…
