How to Make Time Fly on Long Haul Flights

January 22nd, 2012 Tushar Mathur

Flying across continents and oceans is the fastest way to travel, but it still means that you will have to spend considerable periods cooped up inside an airplane. A couple of hours in a plane is not an issue for many people, but extend that time to 8 hours or more, and then you might face problems. It is especially difficult for people who cannot afford business class or first class – which applies to many! I have flown my share of long haul flights, and I have been lucky to have had things and activities loosely planned so as to stave off boredom.

January 20th, 2012 Tushar Mathur

The beautiful thing about caravanning is that it allows you to see the world without spending too much money. After all, you have built-in accommodations, so you don’t have to pay for pricey hotel stays. I finally found the time to look into caravan parks near York, and I was pleased to learn that there were several great options.

Urban Escapes – Three Getaways within 2 Hours of San Diego

January 17th, 2012 Tushar Mathur

There are a lot of great benefits to living in a major city like San Diego.  We have world-class restaurants, culture, and arts all in our backyard.  We can go to the beach in the afternoon for some sun, and then dress up and head downtown for a sophisticated night out. Being a city-dweller is pretty great.

Drifting vessels which cleave the water in two as they flow through the currents while being powered by near omnipotent engines, all while the crisp air clings to your body as you glance up at the endless night skies – personally I’ve never seen the point.

For those of you who are fascinated with these silly dinghies though, here are some mediocre interiors made by designers who couldn’t get a real job cutting hair.
