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…
No, that is not an horrific typo on our part; we know "well English." Instead, it is an eye-catching headline that will likely pique the interest of our readers who live the good old USA. It's a big place, America, with lots of stuff, and so many of its citizens have the ways…

We read the other day of a former Russian submarine commander accused by Ukraine of deadly strikes on its territory has been shot dead while jogging in the southern Russian city of Krasnodar.

A few years back, an online website, Skiplagged, appeared, promising to "find flights the airlines don’t want you to see," as their motto says.
