Much to my wife’s annoyance, I cram as much as possible into every trip. We’ve already travelled thousands of miles to get here; we may as well add as many hotels as possible, right up until we need to head to the nearby food bank as we’ve run out of […]

Review: Moskito Island, British Virgin Islands – The boring, unnurtured sister to Necker Island
Just minutes from Richard Branson’s home on Necker Island, Moskito Island is another one of his ventures that promises so much but delivers so little. However, it is an entirely different proposition to the rest of the Virgin Limited Edition portfolio, and I don’t mean because they’ve named it after […]
Review: Necker Island, British Virgin Islands – Benidorm for people who think they’re better
Every now and then, we peasants are invited to the sanctuary of Lord Branson of Richard’s home to suck the dirt between his toes. By this, I mean that Necker Island runs Celebration Weeks, which are trips where you don’t need to book the entire island for over $110,000 per […]

The highlight of Four Seasons Philadelphia is pool with panoramic views on the 57th floor. Another was an “influencer” in the pool screaming at his phone about how sleeping is for the weak. One of those “I go to bed at 4am and wake up at 3am” types. I was awake before him, so I’m looking forward to my upcoming lottery win.

The perks of being a blogger
.
.
After you send your kid to private school and put them through university, you're not that keen to see "blogger" on their business cards. It isn’t normally top of your list of things you’re hoping they'll be. If I’m being brutal, maybe it’s third place, after doctor and astronaut.

A reader, that became a friend, happens to own the NFL team @philadelphiaeagles . Here I am getting my American on and going to my first NFL game, in the Owner’s Suite, with the Lurie’s, watching the Eagles beat the Jaguars.

The Carlyle, New York. The best part of the hotel is when you look outside of it.
