The National Corvette Museum is conveniently located off I-65 exit 28, across from the General Motors’ Assembly Plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Spanning 115,000 square feet, this museum is a shrine to the Corvette, showcasing more than 80 ’Vettes as well as concept cars – including one of the original 1953 Corvettes, the only 1983 Corvette in existence and other rare and unique Corvettes.
Kentucky is synonymous with bourbon, so naturally on our way from Bowling Green KY to Dearborn, we couldn’t pass up the chance to visit the famed Jim Beam Distillery – it just happens to be the home of our favourite bourbon and one of the most iconic names in the industry – so it was a must-see.
There are a few changes for travellers going to the UK and European Union starting today (January 8th). The UK’s ETA expansion is just one example of several new electronic entry programmes being rolled out around the world.
There’s something liberating about the open road – the rhythmic hum of tires, the changing landscape outside the window and the promise of new experiences just a few miles ahead. Ever since Gail and I were little kids, it has been engrained in our childhood. As adults, this is what we were looking for when embarking on our latest road trip adventures that began with a mid-morning flight from Toronto to Houston, Texas.
From our base just outside of Speyer/Hockenheim in Germany, we do day trips that are easy to get to and worth the journey and fuel to visit. This trip to (Schloss) Drachenburg Castle / Drachenfels Castle / Drachenfelsbahn was over-ambitious at first because there were so many things to see on the way there – it actually would have been a weekend trip instead of just one day.
Strasbourg is one of those cities that has been on our list to visit for a number of years. After putting it off on one of our many trips to Germany, we finally made it a point to drive there and have a visit. Our base in Germany is nice and central to so many regions. Located close to Speyer/Hockenheim, we are only about 45-50 minutes from Strasbourg, so there’s no excuse NOT to go in reality…

We posted the video of our day at Cannstatter Volksfest in 2018, but forgot to add the article… oops. Well here’s the article, better late than never ;>) Oktoberfest…. It’s as German as high-quality cars, the autobahn and superb beer. In this instalment from our recent Germany trip, we’ve covered the beautiful medieval city of Tübingen and the amazing Lichtenstein Castle from our base just outside of Speyer/Hockenheim.
Although not exactly a travel article, this was an experience that included travel and adventure… Originally published on a racing website in 2007, we’ve included it here for our readers to hopefully enjoy. We both got to enjoy the experience, but Gail wrote the article. Ride of a lifetime … we’ve heard that expression used before with previous generations of Champ Car and Indy Car two-seaters, and to me it always sounded so cliché – so when I was asked to help promote the Champ Car F1X2 (F1 times 2) two-seater program I promised myself that I would find a more apt description for the experience. Unfortunately I have to admit that there really is no better way to sum it up … it is a thrill of a lifetime … every race junkie’s dream … something you’ll never forget.
Part 2 of our long weekend exploring Mont-Tremblant, Quebec. This time we’re doing the Treetop Walk, Sentier des cimes Laurentides – the only one in North America
