Good morning Spring is in full fling, and I hope your summer, due to officially start in just a few weeks on Memorial Day, is shaping up to be a great one. But, please, cast your mind a wee bit further ahead, for the early and late fall, too. What are you doing then? How […]
Good morning A couple of articles for you this week after tonight’s newsletter, one serious and one not quite so serious. The serious article was a struggle to write. For some time now I’ve been trying to make sense of electric vehicle sales. They are probably the most talked about new automotive technology ever, and […]
Have a look at this map of the world. Like many other maps, it omits one very special country – a country rated as the most honest in the entire world by Transparency International, and the country the World Bank rates as the best in the world to do business in. Can you guess which […]

We’ve been enjoying Christmas Market river cruises for almost 15 years – sometimes on the Rhine, sometimes on the Danube. Sometimes upstream, sometimes downstream. Don’t get us wrong – all are wonderful experiences, and hundreds of Travel Insiders have happily shared them with us over the years. The time has now come to offer you […]
Good morning Our Frontsight experience was enjoyed by all who attended over the last weekend, and most of the participants plan to return for another experience in the future.
