…ry big tourists stops) did not speak English and so a good idea to get the hotel concierge to give you the name of where you want to go in Korean and your hotel as well. The taxi drivers seem very good natured and helpful but struggled with me trying to explain Grand Hyatt Hotel but got me there with me directing sometimes. One thing I will add is that I felt very safe in the city, and not sure if that was a function of the volume of people or the…

…s many people stayed in their cabins feeling ill! As many people have done reviews on this historic ship, I thought I woudl post some of our thoughts and observations: GOOD: · The experience of being on the QE2 and being part of the history. Being on a winter trans-atlantic crossing was a great adventure to have done. Highly recommended! · It was a fabulous experience. Even with the rough weather at the start (which I am sure the QE2 weathered bet…
…p as a destination in its own right. It was a stylish, comfortable, moving hotel with friendly and warm service. My fellow guests were mostly American, 50+ and well-travelled. I realised the draw of Windstar was the focus on the places we called on and not having to engage in the ceremony that many cruise lines follow.

Before the changes in flight agreements, they were only code shares on Virgin but now they have their own slots and planes. The plane had a Continental tail and United painted on the side. I chose them as their tim…

For Napa is home of the Napa Wine Train Company.This train company was set up by a millionaire train buff inspired by his experiences…
The most read posts on the blog are those that review airline seats and service, and so here is my thoughts on Continental Airlines in the USA.. It always strikes me as amazing at how poor the whole domestic air travel experience is within the USA. It makes me wonder why no carrier has stepped up (or in) with a flying experience that turns the whole horrible process into something more bearable. I know that Virgin is now trying this with the laun…
