A blight on the skyline? Ugly duckling? Non!
Do you want sweeping views of the mountains, hot springs and has an abundance of wildlife? Nelson!
Walt Disney loved rail. His parks are full of them. If it’s good enough for Walt, it’s good enough for us.
A little European history for you kids, in this post. As a starter in case you're not aware, to get around, we humans have created a scheme based on meridians. A prime meridian is an arbitrarily-chosen meridian in a geographic coordinate system at which longitude is defined to be 0°. Together, a prime meridian…
Off we go again today, searching for - and delivering - another reason to visit our site regularly. So, as lovely and as unforgettable as they are, how many times can you visit Venice or Paris? Or, perhaps better said, how many times do you think you might want to skip Venice or…
Join us, again, as we venture into the leafy English countryside. This post focuses on more of the southern climes of the UK, way down past London and into the "leafy" parts as its known. There are dozens of lovely little villages for you to explore, but one that we like very much…
Indulge us as we look to the past of travel and, in some aspects, compare it to modern travel. In many ways, today's air travel is light years away from even the 1970s. Those of us who flew in that time period would slump into our "state-of-art" jet liner seats and marvel at how…
We love aircraft, flying and everything that swirls around it. And speaking of swirls, that might just be you as you try to unravel the sometimes impenetrable jargon that is part of aviation. The industry uses it for very specific purposes, and one of the main purposes is to keep passengers safe and…
Ahh, la belle France. We can never get enough of it. And there is lots to get. As of 2022, the most desirable places to spend your holiday time in France are 1. Paris. 2. Nice. 3. Lyon 4. Bordeaux 5. Marseilles 6.Strasbourg 7. Lille and, finally…
Here is a comparison, of sorts, that we hope you will find thought-provoking. It's a story of how two travel provider companies, (whom you've surely heard of over the decades first started way back when,) how they're different, and how they started and thrived in offering stays for holiday goers. As a primer, VRBO…
It's always a thrill to be able to write something new about our all-time favourite architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. It's one thing that his - without hyperbole - stunning buildings were actually built. But the fact that his work is so revered and - even more - loved by his army of fans…
.... that likes taking the scenic route? R2-Detour. Oh, ha ha ha. We crack ourselves up sometimes. And why not? You only live once. Depending on where you live, enjoying the Disney experience may never present itself to you for one reason or another. And that would be…
Let's get right to the point, here. Why stay in an unoriginal, boring cardboard box when you travel? You don't go to Paris to see the Champs-Elysees . . . again . . do you? When you're surrounded by luxurious 16th mini-palaces that you can actually afford, why would you stay in…
We don't know about you, but we still shiver with tears when we look back on the videos of Notre Dame on fire. Even if you've been to Paris dozens of times, that most marvelous of buildings still makes our heart race when we walk up to its doors. On 15 April 2019, just…
