. . . . or just flushed with embarrassment? One of the thrills of creating this website is marveling at how creative some content creators are. Whether it's turning an old, past its prime Airbus jet into a swish hotel, or sleeping in caves with bats, we travel lovers have our work cut…
When we look back in history, most of us seek past knowledge, or perhaps ways of living. It could be protective measures to ensure that our families are safe and sound, so that we can continue the lineage. We could be seeking higher ground and simply a better way. Let's look at some…
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…

Oz is one of those places that everyone wants to visit, and that's no surprise, when you consider the depth and breadth that the country has to offer, even if it is rather far away from where you might be at the moment. Why is that? Perth's unique character as a travel destination stems…
This could be your foot in the door, or your escape out the window of sorts. Plus, it's a very civil place to be in this rather fraught day and age. Even better, when you inform your chums, the bragging rights will shoot through the roof. Longyearbyen is the northernmost city in…
History is peculiar. Is it correct? Is it real? Who are the victors, and why? Lots of questions. Luckily, we have the will, the brains and, nowadays, the technology to separate the wheat from the chaff. One bit of history that has persisted for many decades in American history is…
Is this typical European efficiency or someone's idea of a joke. Or both? The Netherlands and Belgium share a 450 km border, which is notable for its complexity, particularly in the town of Baarle. This border is part of the Schengen Area, meaning there are no regular passport checks. The border's intricacies stem from historical treaties and land swaps, resulting…

Or have they? We love YouTube. Not only for what it offers, but also how it opens doors to the planet. Your editor is of an age where history is a big feature and, also, a reminder. The other day, a video popped up (above) showing Iran in the 1940s. (see above.) …
Tip-toe through the tulips. We're feeling a bit frisky for this post, hence the title. We suppose that it could remain the play on words in the title, and we're sure that most of you know what Encanta means, given that it is all over Disney products. But, we're not here to…
Or both? Bring euros. They're welcome and so are you.
