SRI LANKA | Sun, 4 May 2014 | By vagabondstoo | Views [1892]

FOR ONCE WE TOOK A BIT OF OUR OWN ADVICE – we stayed in Negombo Beach, not Colombo, for our last night in Sri Lanka.  Negombo Beach is dominated by three overpriced Jetwing Resorts, the kind of places that American tourists prefer.  Not ... Read more >

Singapore & Kuala Lumpur

SINGAPORE | Sat, 17 Aug 2013 | By butterfly-freed | Views [1803]

Getting around Singapore couldn't be easier. My first trip entails a sight-seeing tour on an open top bus. It may the ultimate tourist option, but it's a great way to get your bearings. What better start than to make my first watering hole stop the iconic ... Read more >

Five Castles and the Holy Grail

UNITED KINGDOM | Wed, 4 Jun 2014 | By vagabondstoo | Views [932]

THERE ARE CASTLES . . . AND THERE ARE CASTLES.  Even the largest, most luxurious were dreary, drafty and cold.  The smaller castles, like Campbell, Doune, Newark, Dumbarton and Dunstaffnage must have been truly nasty places to live, not nearly ... Read more >

Shake It Off

SPAIN | Fri, 5 Jun 2015 | By davidpearlman | Views [796]

Yesterday, I left Portugal. This was a little bit sad, as I loved Sintra, and I loved the Portugese language, although I can only say thank you. (Obrigado). It sounds like a combination of Spanish and Italian, and has a bit of a Romantic Sound. I ... Read more >
