Heathrow Airport is the largest airport in the United Kingdom in London and is a major hub for all sorts of international and domestic English travelers. It’s not abad airport really although when you first get off of an international flight and are herded off to a security screening it can be a little overwhelming…
As an avid traveler I am always collecting travel tips from wherever I happen to get them as well as developing my own list of travel tips and suggestions. I happened to find this video on YouTube that has some good suggestions, but I’d like to give you the benefit of some of my practical…
After Tonya arrived in Brisbane and we visited the “Bottle Shop.” for bottles of course we then made our way into the hills beyond Brisbane. It seemed at some point that we might have been lost. But as is so often the case (at least in my life) the destination is just around the corner.…
