A New friend with two hostels in the Andes, Last Minute Galapagos cruises, and more information than your average guidebook!

Through working at the Secret Garden Hostel in Quito I learned a lot about the people who make up the places and activities that Ecuador has to offer. The Galapagos is the bread winner for those who try and make a living while keeping a healthy perspective about the way they are living.…

"Notions of chance and fate are the preoccupation of men engaged in rash undertakings" --Cormac Mccarthy

They had just come from Columbia after working the season in Colorado as bartenders. They met the third in thier…

Strawberry Rhubarb Wine at Massachusetts' Russell Orchards

Fruit Wine Selection at Russell Orchards

If you’re headed up Argilla Road north of downtown Ispwich, you’ll get the distinct feeling that you’re heading into more remote surroundings of rolling farm fields, and wooded glens. One pastoral gem that you simply can’t miss is Russell Orchards. Only about 5 minutes from Crane Beach, you’ll see a wood shaked barn to your right and once inside, it’s apparent that this is the real deal…not some knock off built within the…

In Orlando, Wizarding World of Harry Potter Mobbed by Muggles

I’m what you might call a pretty casual Harry Potter fan. I read the first book and saw most (not sure if all) of the seven movies with varying degrees of pleasure. But visiting “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter,” the long-awaited theme-park-within-a-theme-park at Universal’s Islands of Adventure after its official opening this past Friday in Orlando, Florida, I found myself awash in a sweaty sea of Potterphiles — many presumably so devoted to J.K. Rowling’s creation that they’ve… Continue

And when you're not drinking whisky, what else can you do in Valais?

Once again it may appear that all M. and I do is consume large amounts of alcohol when we go away for the weekend. So besides visiting Swhisky, what else can you do in the region of Ardon and where can you stay to get to it all?

PLACE TO STAY:

La Petite Cigale

This Bed ‘n’ Breakfast has earned every one of its four stars. Rarely have I stayed somewhere where the owners have paid such close attention to…

The Art of Europe

When one thinks of Europe, one tends to think of art. With its plethora of offerings including historical sites, museums, and even art galleries, the choices are truly endless.

P'Ardon? They make whisky in Switzerland?

Step Up Your Act, BA Cabin Crew

Just arrived back in UK from six weeks in Oz visiting our daughter & her newborn baby.
All previous trips have been Singapore Airlines or Emirates and cabin crew have been really good.
This time flew Qantas and the cabin crew were good but first leg out to Singapore was a British Airways flight and cabin crew all disappeared after serving the meal and seemed quite disinterested.
Get your act together BA cabin staff!
You might think you're good. You're not!

Don't cross the bridge till you come to it...

… And then when you do, take some time to admire it! Some of Europe’s bridges may not be able to compete with the likes of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, but what they lack in size they make up for in charm and character. Here are some that I believe deserve to be mentioned.

The ‘Devil’s Bridge’…
