Cheers, Sears!

Thanks for the memories. Although this post is devoted to a well-known and beloved chain of US stores, Sears & Roebuck, the brand was - and still is - remembered almost everywhere. If you needed to buy something, Sears was almost always the first stop: they would inevitably have it. In its…

Dutch Treats

We love The Netherlands. From the tulip fields, to the canals, to the people themselves, the country stands out in not only the European Union, but also in the minds of those who enjoy balanced and open-minded individuals who keep the greater whole in the frame as a model of how to live. …

How to Amtrak

Yes, yes . . we know. That headline is not The King's "well English" but maybe it caught your attention. So, with no further ado, we will leap headfirst into yet another rail post. As we often say, rail travel is the future and the present in some places. In…

A promo for Bromo

Up until a few days ago, we'd never heard of Mount Bromo, let alone get a hankering to want to visit. After some clever investigation courtesy of your editor's clever better half, we started to look into. It's one of those places that you will need to make a concerted effort to visit,…

Two miles per minute

By any measurement, two miles a minute is fast, and you're probably expecting this to be some kind of experimental speed measurement. Or maybe it's the latest idea from Elon Musk, a rocket tunnel under the sands of Nevada. Or could it be some other as-yet unknown vehicle where you need to wear…

Not so Faroe way

Have you been to Iceland? We have and it was certainly one-of-a-kind in so many ways and a must-see if you've not been. It feels like a European Nordic country, but also feels somewhat isolated and disconnected to its European mainland cousins. Hard to describe, but certainly unforgettable. If you have been…

Drone alone? not anymore

We were spending some time this morning, relaxing and perusing the latest offerings from the Internet, especially what's up on YouTube. We happened upon the video below, courtesy of the author and filmmaker, Laura BC. At first, the video appeared to be a tutorial on drone videos; you know, finding the right…

And your car can sing

Tell me that you've got everything you want, and your car can sing. Another delightful "out of left field" post here, and this one that anyone can enjoy, assuming that you have a car (or any vehicle with tires) and the right road. Having a map or GPS isn't a bad idea, either.…

Here's a toast to those intrepid pioneers and can-do-ers who - in most cases - went for the prize and came back a winner. For example, Davy Crockett, Edmund Hillary, Bear Grylls, Sir Ranulph Fiennes OBE, Karen Darke, Freya Stark just to name a few. These luminaries and dozens more have made our…

You have the will. Now here is the way.

Please forgive us if we appear to be a wee bit too zealous when it comes to trains and rail travel - we can't help it. After living in Europe, we've gotten used to the availability, frequency and sheer joy of fast scheduled rail services that girdle the European continent. Looking forward, you…

Luxury for all!

Why should the rich be the only ones who get in on all of the good things in life? Well, yes, of course, they're rich. But why does that matter? Yes, you're right, I understand that their riches often pay for the luxuries that us Hoi polloi have. Fine, so they…
