Monday Escape: Blackpool, England

Tom — Fri, 22 Jul 2022 15:06:00 +0000

Some say that Blackpool was the world’s first resort for the middle class, or perhaps even the “working class” as the lowest tier is known in the United Kingdom. Its best days clearly seem behind it, but with one of England’s best and longest beaches, the place is still very popular in high season. With […]

Monday Escape: Inverness, Scotland

If you like long summer days that may not be all that warm, then it would be hard to beat Inverness, Scotland. It’s considered the UK’s northernmost city, although with only about 50,000 inhabitants it feels as much like a town than a city. And among other things, during June and July, the sun is […]

Monday Escape: York, England

England is one of those countries that so much of the attention for visitors is put on the largest city, most of the rest is ignored. London is obviously one of the world’s great cities, but it has plenty of its own problems, not the least of which are that it’s crazy expensive and also […]

Sri Lanka is known almost equally for its lovely beaches and for its enchanting hill country, with most of the population and tourism being in the south of the country. Kandy is the largest city in the hill country so just about everyone who visits the country stops there for at least awhile. Fortunately then, […]

Monday Escape: Malacca, Malaysia

Tom — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 03:48:01 +0000

Somehow Malaysia continues to stay out of most conversations when people are discussing where to spend a holiday, and there are advantages to go along with the disadvantages of that. It’s not as exotic as Thailand or Cambodia, not nearly as cheap as Vietnam, and not quite as modern as Singapore, so it kind of […]

Monday Escape: Boracay Island, Philippines

Tom — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 03:27:13 +0000

Fans of the Philippines typically struggle as to why the country doesn’t get as many visitors as its neighbors such as Thailand and Indonesia. The one exception within the Philippines is Boracay Island, which lately has been a magnet for visitors from all over Europe as well as within Asia. Only about 8 kilometers tall […]

Monday Escape: Manila, Philippines

Of all of the capital cities in Southeast Asia, Manila is one you don’t hear many people raving about. There are some good reasons for that, as we’ll discuss, but many people do visit and there is quite a bit to see. The country as a whole is praised for its beauty and beach resorts, […]

Monday Escape: Cameron Highlands, Malaysia

Tom — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 03:38:22 +0000

When most people think of perfect year-round weather, they typically think of places in the Tropics which never get cold. But when you spend a lot of time in the Tropics you realize that you need air conditioning most of the time, if not all the time. So where do people in the Tropics go […]

Monday Escape – Budapest, Hungary

Tom — Mon, 10 Sep 2012 10:46:11 +0000

While its architecture might not be as interesting as its most famous buildings suggest, Budapest is still a handsome city and one that should be on everyone’s list. One thing it’s important to realize is that Budapest was yet another city that was largely demolished during WWII, and most of its central city was rebuilt […]

Monday Escape: Bratislava, Slovakia

Tom — Mon, 27 Aug 2012 13:48:18 +0000

Seemingly among the more forgotten European capital cities, Bratislava is relatively small and low key compared to Prague, and it also suffers a bit by being in the shadow of Vienna, but it’s still definitely worth a visit or even consideration of a place to live. This is a city that could not be closer […]
