Queen Mary Ship and Hotel (Long Beach, California): is this old icon of a ship worth visiting today?

…ing and recorded a podcast about the RMS Queen Mary liner at Long Beach in California, it was heading towards Halloween time at the end of October. What got me thinking about writing the posting was that I received an email newsletter reminding me that one – if not THE – most haunted places in the United States was the ship and it was celebrating (is that the right word!) Halloween. Today, the Queen Mary is still billed as one of the most haunted…

Tips for Travellers: Palm Springs – California: Strange and fabulous

…y, here are my tips for people thinking or planning a trip to Palm Springs California Best time to visit is the season unless you like it very hot! The season is winter, with the peak time running from January through to May. Prices at this time ramp up with hotels costing much more, and I suspect other things too.

PODCAST 17: SANTA MONICA, LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA

…be’s beach for a bit of hot body spotting as we head down to Santa Monica, California. Around 30 minutes drive from Los Angeles LAX airport; it is easy to think of the city of Santa Monica as just part of the massive sprawling Los Angles metropolis. And, I guess, at just 30 minutes drive from the airport with the reputation of the terrible and slow traffic in the city that makes Santa Monica almost obscenely close by.

San Francisco California. Why is this city so loved by so many?

…hey also talk a lot about moving to warmer place. (6) People Maybe it is a California thing, or maybe a hangover from the hippy heritage and glory days, but people from San Francisco really do seem to be “of a type”! They are chatty, effusive and enthusiastic – but overall service and detail seems lacking. They seem to confuse friendliness with service! (7) Beautiful from other side Most visits to San Francisco seem to entail staying and being in…

The White House is not surprisingly white. It stands in beautifully lush grounds and looks impressive f…

POSH Guest House Palm Springs California: review, pictures and video

Before this guest house became Posh, it was a hotel for “bears” (large and hairy gay men). It was not very successful, and was rundown and went into receivership in 2009.

The name POSH, according to the materials in the room, was inspired by the old nautical practice in days before jet travel when those with mon…
