Work Rut

I, like most people, have a very difficult time getting out of the rut that we call work. For years, each and every day of my life has followed the same procedure; I never really noticed this until my wife pointed it out to me while we were staying at a Short breaks Scotland hotel last summer. After waking up at 6 in the morning, I have my coffee, eat my cereal (the same kind for the past 15 years), quickly read the newspaper, and am out the door by 6:45. Thus, you can see how structured everything is in my life.

The Secret is Out

With some of the most renowned scenery, Perthshire, Scotland, often referred to as Perth, is a vacation destination that has been receiving more and more attention over the past few years.

The Perry Fields of Austria

The summers are sweet in Mostviertel. Tucked between Salzburg and Vienna, the region is one of the world’s premier producers of Perry. The beverage, commonly called pear cider, is among the most refreshing of alcoholic summer drinks. Perry has a consistent mild sweetness. It is like alcoholic fruit juice. The area can provide a lovely extended vacation, weekend trip, or even a day trip from Vienna. Hotels in Vienna are only too happy to facilitate a trip to the countryside and provide advice on the closest cider inn.
