I'm glad you found a nice place to escape to, Samantha. I'm hoping this government imposed isolation ends soon.

Thank you DrFumbleFinger. This whole no travel thing is making me insane, l We've missed two trips already, one because of sickness over Valentines Day and one one because of this irritating virus issue. We also have two more (2+ week road trip through 11 states for our anniversary, and a trip to Atlanta for a convention) before the end of June that will prob not happen. Just so frustrating. I am also worried about a trip to AZ in Sept, NH, VT, and ME in Oct and CA in Nov. Not knowing when...

Time's about up for United's fleet of 50-seat regional jets; other airlines are dumping them, too.   Just as airlines carefully price tickets—often day to day—to maximize their revenue and avoid unsold seats, they also massage their...

  Japan's first domestic passenger jet, the Mitsubishi Regional Jet (MRJ), had a successful test flight from Nagoya airport.   Mitsubishi's MRJ will seat about 80 passengers and will compete with other regional passenger jet...

France recently merged some of its regions, reducing 22 to 13. Some of them are just now getting permanent new names, and not everyone is happy.

I expect it will be one the finest regional jets made. I hope they succeed.

I know turboprops are safe but I always feel uneasy when I fly in one.

Barry Barford heads to the stunningly beautiful wine country in Australia's Hunter Valley.

Thai food is known for its delicious flavours, astounding variety and aesthetic appeal, like these dishes from different regions of the Thai Kingdom.

Excellent article and photos!

I like durian, but have never come across the concept of a durian curry. The massaman durian curry sounds intriguing.

Thank you, Marilyn, very kind.

Yes, I must admit I haven't actually tried that one. Durian, of course, is not for the fainthearted!

This award-winning Australian regional city stands out from the crowd.

Judy Barford continues her tour of provincial France with a visit to Lyon.

As you say: "arguably the country's gastronomical capital". I used to come to Lyon a couple of times a year for several years (on business) - and you can certainly eat very well here!

Last year, France regrouped its local government borders to create regions and eliminate extra layers of government; a recent survey and recent statistics have picked the winners and losers.  

Following a decision last year to simplify its administrative structure and save money on bureaucracy, France has drawn a new map, reducing its 22 regions to 13, and proposing new capitals for the 7 new merged regions.

With its enchanting old town and romantic canals, Colmar exudes a timeless elegance that has captivated visitors for centuries.

I loved visiting Colmar and the Alsatian wine country. Our favorite place to stay was in the small commune of Obernai just outside of Strasbourg. Obernai is gorgeous in the fall with many local festivals. With our car, we would drive down the Wine Route and end in Colmar. A friend of mine took a Rhine River cruise for his first time in Europe and I told him to take the Colmar excursion. He and his wife said it was the highlight of their trip.

It is such a lovely city! Excellent article and photos.

Thank you for the comments, much appreciated.
