What To Pack For A Winter Cabin Break In Scotland
A cabin in the Highlands in winter is hard to beat. Short days, long evenings by a stove, crisp walks and very little to do except slow down. It's the kind of trip people come back from feeling properly rested, as long as they've packed for the conditions. Scottish winters can be beautiful, but they're also changeable and often wet, and remote cabins don't always have a shop nearby. A bit of thought before you leave means you'll spend the trip … [Read more...]
Razor Kayaks R2 Ultra Review: Ten Fossil-Hunting Trips in an Inflatable Kayak
By Morne Mamlambo, Mamlambo Fossils My first trip in the Razor Kayaks R2 Ultra is the one you can watch in my video Fossil kayak adventure pays off.

Tasting Room Tabs – ePOS Systems in Wine Country, From Napa to the Douro
I’ve lived in Santa Rosa since 2009, and for most of that time I’ve made a living installing till and ordering systems for restaurants and tasting rooms around Sonoma and Napa. It’s not a glamorous job. But it means I’ve stood behind more tasting bars than most sommeliers, usually holding a screwdriver instead of a glass, and I notice how a winery handles its bills long before I notice what’s in the bottle. Wine country is hard on a tab. A … [Read more...]

How to Spot Tinder Scams Before Meeting Someone on Vacation
Maybe you’re three days into a trip to Lisbon, and the match notifications keep coming on your phone, then one profile catches your attention. Whether it’s a good photo, easy conversation, or plans to grab drinks later tonight, something catches your eye.
