Travel the globe in NYC restaurants
One of my favourite trips was to New York City – and I have written plenty about it. Part of the trip was the food that you can get there, I’m a bog foody and so having great food is half the trip. We tried to savour and enjoy as many types of foods as…
Are Passport Holders Useful?
Here’s a question for the travelling masses – are passport holders really that useful? I have a few that I got as gifts; they are made of quality materials, authentic brand names, and look very fashionable. If I re-gift them – which I’m reluctant to do – it would be to someone special. But are…
