Sitting at a waterfront table at the Nambawan Café in Port Vila, Vanuatu, I gazed out to sea and coveted the sight before me. Blue skies, even deeper blue sea, and the tallest, most elegant sailing ship I’d ever laid eyes on. Worth a cool USD $100 million, it was the floating home of [...]

Hallelujah! A hotel utterly conceived around the understanding that those checking in might be suffering from a common ailment called jet-lag.
The Quincy Hotel, Singapore, ticks all the boxes.
Early check-in to suit arrival times of transworld planes? Check. Super-fast transit from showing passport at front desk to bedroom with blackout blinds, (with [...]

We didn’t do it, but we think we saw who did.
But then again, if you’d been freaked out by a red queen, you might need a quiet puff to calm down too.
We found Alice at Antony, a grand old house in Cornwall that Tim Burton used as a location. After we’d partaken [...]

I am not afraid to admit that I am a Deadhead, so when I heard that The New York Historical Society was hosting an exhibition this summer of artifacts from the forty plus years of The Grateful Dead’s career, I was ecstatic. I decided that the most appropriate time to visit the museum was [...]

I don’t even like cars, [...]

If you were to ask a nutritionist if it’s humanly possible to gain two kilograms in just three days I think he’d say no. However, I can vouch, through personal experience, that it is entirely doable. Such is the magic of the Great Barrier Reef’s Bedarra Island that for weeks after our return I shall [...]

The bargain of Venice is the 7-day Vaporetto ticket at 50 euros - steep to start with, but terrific value if you make a point of chugging up and down the Grand Canal to all the museums (although it would take months to visit them all) and going to as many of [...]

This month I had the opportunity to experience Target’s First Sunday’s at The Brooklyn Museum. I attended the opening of Andy Warhol’s: The Last Decade and as someone who is a sucker for Mr. Warhol, it was quite an evening. My favorite pieces of his career, which can be seen at the museum, [...]

One of my absolute favourite things to do in Paris is to visit The Museum of Natural History. The museum itself takes little time to view and is worth the visit simply for the main gallery of marching animals. Sensational.
Paris Museum of Natural History, 36 Rue Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 75005 [...]
