November 5, 2024 by Amanda ChalmersLeave a Comment

While visiting family in Hampshire, I decided to make a weekend of it and accept an invitation to make our base the newly rebranded voco® Winchester Hotel & Spa. Previously part of the Holiday Inn group of hotels, we were lucky enough to be among the first to have the voco® experience as the wraps came off a £2m refurbishment. The contemporary hotel, which was first built in 2010, is located on the edge of the beautiful South Downs … [Read more...]

The Heidelberg Project, Detroit – November 2024

November 1, 2024 by DaveLeave a Comment

The Heidelberg Project is located in Detroit's McDougall Hunt neighborhood, only about a 10 minute drive from downtown Detroit. It encompasses a long block of street art.

Where in the World Am I Now?

November 1, 2024 by Dave2 Comments

Driving from Mumbai to Nashik we passed road construction chaos. If I had to guess I would say completion on this project will be sometime between 550 and 750 years from now. It had the appearance of having been worked on for decades with little progress to show for the effort. What appeared to be total chaos for kilometers included piles of rotting garbage, lengthy sections of broken pavement, stones everywhere, partially paved sections covered … [Read more...]

Beyond the Vines: Paso Robles’ Playground of Lights, Bites, and Delights

October 26, 2024 by Tom BentleyLeave a Comment

Paso Robles, you know it: that quaint, semi-rustic town you stop at for a bite and a glass of wine on your drives between LA and San Francisco. Well, in between drives, Paso Robles has grown up, and in the best of ways.
