What People Think

I have a good friend who was mugged More

Give me sunshine

I have just returned from two weeks of busy business and pleasure travel in the UK and Spain looking primarily at solar heating and solar based refrigeration technology that can be imported into Africa. I loved the trip but have to be honest and say I enjoyed Barcelona and Madrid more than London. Not like there is anything wrong with London, far from it it is a great city, but the sun shines so much more in Spain than it More

Singapore, here we come

I had always seen all these tall claims in lucky draws about winning this prize or that prize but could never bring myself to believe that someone actually ever wins these things. It was just such a huge coincidence that I had gone for some last minute gift shopping with a colleague since we were going to our boss’s house for the first time for dinner. At the department store there was a lucky draw sponsored by Singapore Airlines for More

However, I saw a country full of extremes - both beautiful and darkened by misery, both developed and supressed by communism. Although my feelings for Cuba were quite contraversial, my two-weeks stay there was almost as amazing as the most More

Two Tips to Get The Most Out of Your Next Cruise

I’ve had the opportunity to enjoy two cruises. One was to Alaska and the other to the Bahamas. The destinations couldn’t be more opposite, the cruises were on two completely different cruise lines, and I traveled one with a large group and one with a small group. Basically, the two trips were complete opposite, yet I’ve learned a couple things about cruising in general that everyone should know.

First of all, what should you look for in a room when More

The nightmare of a cancelled flight

However well you plan your trip abroad, there are always some things that you can’t plan for. On a recent trip to the South of France a few friends and I arrived at the airport in plenty of time. We joined the appropriate budget airline queue and we waited. And we waited. And we waited. Eventually, after some hours had passed, our flight was called forward, so we checked in and waved goodbye to our luggage with a definite sense More
