...want to go to it. Welcome to La-la-land. Los Angeles, USA. It still has the punch and the awe and the draw that it's ever had. Just the names have been changed to protect the innocent. Some innocent, some asking for it. But, much like a modern Rome, LA has had…
Hyatt? Let's try it. As part of our job, staying up to date on the latest action in the travel world, we (like many sites such as ours) tend to be bedazzled when something new and glitzy appears, especially when it's coming from a known brand with a long history and an enviable reputation.…

Wicklow, often called the "Garden of Ireland," is a truly captivating place to visit due to…
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.…
East meets west, and we're all winners. Now is one of the better times in human history. It is much easier to get around, compared to decades past. Technology is, let's face it, amazing. And, in many cases, prices are aimed at nearly everyone's pocket. Yes, the world is generally…
When the world is spinning around, let's make the best of what's still around. And Lagos is certainly that. Lagos, Nigeria, is a vibrant, buzzing mega-city that pulsates with energy. While it has its well-known attractions, there are plenty of unusual and fun experiences that delve deeper into its unique culture and offer something…
When we get the chance, we will always, without failure, make a bee-line for Spain for our holidays. Yes, it's big and it's busy. But it's also diverse, exciting and has an infinite pull for us that is hard to deny. And, as is our wont, history is extant everywhere we go.…
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. …
We asked Gemini when was the last time that the earth and its humans were at peace with each other? Tragically, it didn't provide the answer that we'd hoped, but we'd had little hope to begin with to be honest. The AI tool offered. It's difficult, if not impossible, to pinpoint a specific "last…
There are 360 degrees to our planet, all of them unique, all of them an adventure, and every one of them a location where you can and should endeavour to make the trek. Lucky us, in this day and age, we have mobile phones, the internet, incredibly talented cameras and probably the most global…
Clumsy waiters? Clumsy passengers? Or is there something more? What are we on to here? Any one of us wo enjoys history, inevitably enjoys a bit of history. It keeps us going, keeps the mind active and wanting for more. Why is that, though? The pineapple has a surprisingly rich and varied…
Once upon a time, we humans got around solely on foot, or perhaps with a beast of burden to shuttle us to and fro. Slow, back-breaking and inefficient. This can't be the way forward. Sure, waterways were excellent in many locations, but were expensive to build and maintain. There must have…
Well, here's a first for us. Being British, having lived there for decades, passport and everything, we thought we'd seen most of Great Britain (and we have.) We love the country, the people, the vibe and, most of all, the history. We won't belabor you with long swathes of prose about Britain.…
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…
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. That will be us all eventually. Even with a stiff wind and the best intentions, activities, adventures and endeavors will still be championed by champions of business and commerce. Chests held high, faces into the wind, these hearty individuals will damn the torpedoes to a new…
“The past is a guidepost, not a hitching post.”
Now it’s your turn to be pampered.
