This is the One Hundreth posting. I know many of you haven’t been with us all the way through. However since around the 40th post we have seen a number of your regularly return to see the lastest offering.
It took us awhile but we got into the habit of introducing each destination with a musical link. Some were very direct, others a bit tenuous. We hope that these songs have introduced you to new artists and genres as well as reaquainting you with old favourites. You might enjoy this video of a 100 travel hacks. We did say some links were tenuous.
One artist that particularly caught our attention was the Belgian born Wendy Nazaré who was singing about Lisbon. The video accompanying the song was filmed in Lisbon and provides a opportunity to see and hear the sights and sounds you can expect on your visit.
The artist who has featured most, is David Bowie, with his songs about Berlin, Warsaw and Cyprus. We could have included more David Bowie tracks as he has covered other songs that we have used like Jacques Brel’s “Amsterdam”.
In terms of destinations, we have visited California more often than anywhere else. Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Pasadena and Death Valley.
We have more destinations to visit in the next 100 postings and we look forward to having you along for the ride.
Remember that Maggie is always available to give you the best advice possible on destinations, modes of travel, where to stay and what to do.
