Come fly with me, let’s fly, let’s fly away.
Let's propel ourselves into another epoch and era, and it's all about art. Rest assured that this will not be some stiff academia boffin boring you to tears. The period we'll be highlighting here is all about Art Nouveau and, even better, it's short and sweet and it's a treat. As a…
Here's another delightful bubbling under find (for most of us.) We scour the globe every day to find little known destinations for you. It was only recently when we discovered the Perhentian Islands. A visit to the Perhentian Islands is taking a step into a rare, exotic paradise, and the perfect place to…
Flying is quite the endeavor, nowadays. What with Covid 19 decimating air travel a few years back, to the proliferation / explosion of people around the globe being able to fly now, and actually doing so. Did you know that Every day, some 93,000 flights take off from approximately 9,000 airports? And at…
Magically, as our technology gets better (forget TikTok and Facebook for now) the layers of our earth are - in the capable hands of archeologists - gently peeled back to go forth into the past, telling us more about ourselves. Sometimes the news is not good: humans have a habit of destroying…
Pity the poor airlines over the last few years. Things were hunky dory until Covid came along in 2020 and turned the world upside-down. And, now that Covid is more or less a horrible memory, the airlines are trying to ramp up their service again. During Covid, many pilots left their…
Since you're here on our website, we're sure that you love travel. Some of you may just enjoy getting from Point A to Point B. Others have a more subdued interest: yes, getting there is important, but it's also fun and informational to know more about the flight, for example. One…
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…
Behold another installment of our "Hey Presto!" series of posts. This is where you can sit back, pour your desired beverage and vicariously live the lives of everyday people going about their days, doing everyday activities. These "Hey Presto!" posts make it easy for you to tour the world from the comfort of…
... or how to beat the 90-day Brexit rule and live in France for six months a year. Your editor is British, although I don't live there at the moment. But, of all of the several places that I have lived, Britain is the place that I hold dearest. So, when…
As ever - and as demonstrated by the name of our site - we try to bring you new and interesting travel news, ideas and inspirations. We think of you, our beloved readers, as adventuresome, fun, curious, open-minded, free-thinking and, perhaps, owners of creaky joints and bones. Yep. Our sympathies go to…
Are you one of those "been there, done that" kind of people? That's excellent if you are. The world is so big, we humans are so small and life is so short. So why not grab life by the horns and really go for it? How about a place that is…
This post has nothing to do with your chosen financial institution. This is an honest question about the City of lights. For those of us who have been blessed to be able to experience this most magic of places, a walk along the Left bank of the Seine river is de rigueur, bien…
Clean. Neat. Simple. That's the result (and perhaps the ethos) of The 605 team's approach to getting your attention. What is 605 and who are The 605 team? It's a fairly simple concept to understand, but quite an unusual one to us. You might know that the USA…
When your admin was young, and when the summer months finally arrived, one thing that we looked forward to was the chance to go camping. Our lovely and loving parents always found a way for us to spend our summers exploring. That's where we got our wanderlust. Rather than sitting at home,…
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…
What a headline that is. What does it even mean? Let's get to the bottom of it, shall we? Portuguese football team captain and former Real Madrid striker (and dreamboat) Cristiano Ronaldo, and international tennis legend Rafael Nadal, are behind the Tatel restaurant due to open in Spain's third-largest metropolis this summer.…
It’s logical to assume that last-minute fares should go down in price. After all, an empty seat generates nothing for an airline, so why wouldn’t they want to keep cutting the price as takeoff nears? Even $50 > $0, right? If you're a regular traveler, you'll be smart enough to know that the…
.... literally. It's not an homage to an old western film, or not even the sign for a trendy bistro that's just debuted with much fanfare where you live. Instead, this is the real thing, what you paid for. And, of course, it's in Europe, where so many things began, and so…
