The Scoop on the Poop Nobody Talks About: How to Stay Regular While Travelling

Hi there, Gail here! Today’s topic is a little taboo, so Iain wanted to make sure you knew that it was his crazy wife writing and not him! I personally don’t think it’s a big deal, and I’m willing to bet you’ve been dying for us to post about it but were too afraid to ask. That’s okay, we get it, you’re shy. No worries, I’ve got you!

Top 10 Things To Do In Dinant, Belgium (only 90 minutes from the Spa-Francorchamps Racetrack)

If you have some more spare time before or after visiting the Spa-Francorchamps Racetrack, we highly recommend a trip down the road to the town of Dinant – birthplace of the saxophone!

Ford Rouge Factory Tour – The Heart of American Automobiles

Our day began with a tour of the legendary Ford Rouge Factory, which has been a cornerstone of Ford’s production since its inception in the early 20th century. The Rouge site was initially envisioned by Henry Ford as a “self-sufficient” factory, where raw materials could enter one end and finished cars could roll off the line at the other. Over the years, the factory has evolved, but it remains one of the most advanced manufacturing facilities in the world.

National Corvette Museum – A Car Enthusiasts’ Dream

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.

Road Trip Across America: From Houston To Detroit. We celebrate The Interstate, Cars, Culture And History

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.

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.
