SANTA LUCIA, CUBA'S UNFINISHED PARADISE

Santa Lucia was supposed to have been one the largest vacation resort areas in all of Cuba, rivaling even Varadero. There were plans to put over 7,000 hotel rooms in the area to take advantage of this remote but beautiful peninsula on Cuba's north coast. Economic necessity shelved these plans...Read more

RIP Cattle Car 3000, Gone But Not Forgotten
Canada 3000

No Rob that would have been the case had they gone out of business next week. Now I have to pay twice as much to fly on a 'real' airline. James

RIP Cattle Car 3000, Gone But Not Forgotten

Well it's official Canada 3000 as of November 9, 2001 has bitten the big one. The airline filed for bankruptcy protection November 8, 2001 after talks with their various unions on how to save their operations broke down. The promised and hoped for Government bailout never happened. As of today s...Read more

I frorgot about that. I've been mainly using T3 lately. James

PIA, adequate but in need of a facelift

In the past few years I've written, on many venues, reviews and comments on all the various airports that I've travelled through as I flit about the world. All that is except one. For some reason I have yet to cover the single one airport I have visited more than all others combined. I speak of ...Read more

....Peter, as usual. Nice point about the problem of trying to use a 'sports technique' in a knock down street fight. Too many poor sods seem to think a couple of classes, one or two moves or holds, and a steady diet of the Matrix and they're invincible. James

Loverboy, one or two a day! I'll be lucky if I can turn out one or two a week. In the last two years I only put 240 odd reiews on E, and in the 8 months on TS less than 150. I also may find myself committed to the new improved Rough Guide site in the coming months. Don't worry I intend to revi...ew the site after a closer look at it JamesRead More

Another Cyber Refugee Washed Up On Foreign Shores
General Thoughts About MouthShut

Ed/Nick: Thanks for acknowledging what I thought was a major factor on 'our' arrival here. Abababbey: As some one who's work I remember from elsewhere, and what I would consider an 'elder statesman' or 'old hand' (not of course referring to your age) here your welcome means a lot, both to me and... my fellow travellers. Ptmomsue: I've seen some of your stuff here and think I recognise you from TS. You're right, something as simple as courtesy in the end is much more important than monetary reward. I write for a living and make a lot more per article eleswhere than I will here or other sites. I write here because I choose to and want to.Read More

Another Cyber Refugee Washed Up On Foreign Shores

There's an old saying that as one door closes another opens up. While I doubt that the originator of that phrase had the Internet in mind it seems it does apply in cyberspace as well as the real world. Last March I returned from a trip and was going through the e-mails that had accumulated du...Read more
