The most northerly pub in the world; driest desert (see photo); wettest place; your most easterly, westerly, southerly and northerly destinations you've reached so far; your highest and lowest places; your longest plane journey—you get the picture.

Cultural experiences are among the key reasons many of us travel, and they are manifold, from performances to exhibitions to festivals. Here the topic is consumer-oriented cultural travel & tourism in all its forms.

On my Superlatives Guide to Our Planet group thread, recently, I mentioned a new whisky to be produced in England, of all places and my native country. An article on this St. George Whisky mentioned that it was ready for bottling after three years.…

Best spot for spotting bald eagles w/in 100 miles of NYC: the Pennsylvania - New York stretch of the Delaware River. And this is the best season to see them, because Canadian baldies spend their winters here. Visit Eagle Institute HQ and/or http://e…
Four places all measuring 8,000 square miles...and I've already been to El Salvador, which just leaves Djibouti, which--trivia fans--for a decade was named The French Territory of Afars and Issas, which might be the coolest name for a country ever.…

Beverley Byrne said… - Good afternoon young Terence, Thanks for that info. Crikey, it's cheap isn't it. Problem solved. We do have a permanent address here so that's no problem. We'll look into it when we're back in January. Are you going home for christmas? We're flying back tomorrow. Quite a shock I suspect it's going to be. Lady xmas party the day I arrive home, not the best way to shine and impress the new ed. Have had a couple of travel feature commissions from a City mag, one gulet sailing in Turkey in May which will be lovely. I love Turkey. So not all gloom on the travel front. Take care until we communicate again. LOL BXX

- Hi again, We brits are like busses - nothing for days and then three come along at once. Love your photos. They should be published - or have they?
Now then young Terence, I have an AAA related question for you. Is there any way of having a partial membership with the AAA which includes towing facilities? We're thinking about buying a car out here and as we'd only be here for a few months out of each year, wondered if there was a reduced membership for this sort of thing. Probably not your remit but spookily you got in touch just as we were discussing the possibiltiy. How's life in New York by the way? BXX

- Hola. Well, well. If it ain't old Tel. Great to hear from you. I'm in Florida at the moment at it's pissing down. What you up to your end, travelling madly? Looks like I've been laid off travel writing for The Lady since arrival of new editor who seems anti travel and keeps commissioning all her mates. So if you ever need anyone to do anything fabulously cheaply - you know me; cheap is my middle name. However, otherwise wolf is being kept from door. Did you go to that awful WTM in UK? David obviously did, I can't bear it. Take care hon, bxxx

- Welcome, Terry! Can I entice you to join us also at the Travel Journos' Corner? Also, FYI, our Finnish friend Helena is on here.
Any suggestions and feedback on the site welcome. And don't forget what I said about the blog! Have an excellent rest of the week...
