New London - Two years after opening downtown's only bookstore, founders of the Monte Cristo Bookshop on Green Street are in search of a new owner.
"Monte Cristo Bookshop will either have to change ownership or close by the end of summer," co-owner Christopher Jones revealed Friday on his Facebook page. "We will be talking to prospective new owners in the next few months."
Jones said in a follow-up interview that he will be attending Three Rivers Community College starting in August to pursue a career in computer science. His wife and business co-owner, Gina, is working toward a new career as a medical assistant, he added.
Jones said the independent bookstore made a profit last year, but the proceeds were not enough to support even one person's salary, let alone two. With a family and bills to pay, he said, it made sense to pursue other options.
"A lot of people will be very sad if this store closes," Jones said. "I'd say we definitely gave it a go the best that anyone could."
Jones said the business could be run by a retiree or perhaps as a nonprofit to benefit a charitable group, but he recommended a smaller space than his current location. He said he could see selling the bookstore - with its estimated 50,000 new and used books - for about $12,000.
If a buyer cannot be found before the end of July, he said, the bookstore would begin liquidating its inventory, which includes about 150 shelving units. Jones said about half of the bookstore's inventory is new books, while the other half are used.
"The store is very popular," he said. "We have a lot of regular customers."
Jones said the store survived as long as it did thanks to the more than 100 events he hosted annually at the shop. The free get-togethers "solidified vague notions of community and neighborhood," he said, while driving a lot of the book-selling business.
Still, Jones said, most of his customers were from outside New London, and he found it difficult to market the bookstore because of a feeling that there was little else to do downtown. Jones said New London Main Street was the most helpful organization he encountered in trying to build his business, but he said the city Planning and Zoning department also was quick to respond to requests.
"The city had open doors," he said.
Jones said it would break his heart if the bookstore had to close permanently.
"There is also a chance a new owner could take the keys and keep it chugging along forward," he said on Facebook. "I am more than happy to show them how we operate and introduce my author contacts."

Earlier this week an image of a Simpsons themed LEGO set surfaced. There wasn't an official announcement and these sort of things sometimes pop up as they are in the planning stage or awaiting approval for the go ahead. We received some great news that this set is indeed happening!
LEGO and Twentieth Century Fox are partnering to produce Simpsons branded merchandise. The set and minifigure series based on the show will arrive in February to coincide with a LEGO-themed Simpsons episode (airing May 2014 on FOX).
Scheduled to launch this February in LEGO stores and via the LEGO Shop at Home catalog and website, the construction set will recreate the iconic Simpsons family house in LEGO form. Also included in the LEGO and THE SIMPSONS construction set is the entire family: Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie along with neighbor Ned Flanders. A separate line of 16 LEGO THE SIMPSONS minifigures will launch in all mass toy retailers in May 2014.
"We are thrilled to collaborate with Fox during the 25th anniversary year of the Simpsons," said Jill Wilfert, vice president licensing & entertainment at The LEGO Group. "We know our fans will love the challenge of building the Simpsons' family home in great detail and the ability to collect quintessential characters in LEGO minifigure form will let them showcase their love of the show in a whole new way. We are also excited that THE SIMPSONS will be created in LEGO form, truly bringing this partnership to life."
"We are kicking off the 25th anniversary of THE SIMPSONS in a big way, and we think LEGO-loving fans of the show will be impressed with this collaboration that represents the best of both iconic worlds through the LEGO and THE SIMPSONS construction set, minifigures and LEGO-themed episode," said Jeffrey Godsick, president of Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products. "Our partnership with LEGO is the perfect addition to the range of product lines that will be introduced globally in celebration of this great milestone achievement in television history."
If you're as excited as I am, you'll want to see more pics. LEGO was kind enough to send us several high-res shots.
According to the box art that appeared online, this set will contain 2523 pieces. That's a lot! It will be available February 1st in LEGO retail outlets for $199.99 (USD). The line of LEGO: THE SIMPSONS minifigures will launch in May at all major toy retailers for $3.99 (USD) each.

Venezuelan exports exempt from Mercosur tariff
Consensus was reached for the automotive and agricultural sectors
The Venezuelan Presidential Commission within the regional bloc formally announced that, as of January 1, several trade agreements came into effect. Also, it noted that "any type of product may be exported to Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay without being subject to export tariffs, thus marking the start of export activities through Mercosur. This market waives 100% of trade fees and tariffs for Venezuela."
The Commission, a branch of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, indicated that Venezuela "maintains 777 tariff codes with Brazil and 610 with Argentina for economy-sensitive items, and many will continue to be subject to those fees for a significant number of years, several of them until 2018. In doing so, Venezuela will protect its steel, metal, textile, footwear, plastic and other industries."
With regards to the automotive sector, "negotiations will take place in 2013 to reach consensus on specific trading standards to secure favorable conditions for our domestic industrial sector. In the meantime, current conditions will remain in place."
In relation to the agricultural and food sectors, negotiations under the Commercial Freedom Program with Brazil and Argentina have produced "preferential treatment for commodities of an extremely sensitive nature to Venezuela, such as poultry, pork and cattle meat, shrimp, fresh tomatoes, fresh onions, garlic, carrots, coffee, rice, milk and dairy products, wheat and corn flour, starch, cereal pellets, raw oil (soy, sunflower and palm), refined oil, margarine, cold meats, processed meat and fish, cocoa and chocolate derivatives, pasta, cookies and other baked products, orange and citric concentrates, mayonnaise, ketchup, premixed products and many others; as well as exemptions for the sugar sector (strictly governed by Venezuelan law)."
According to the Commission, "preferential treatment for the agricultural sector is aimed at scaling toward full tariff exemption by 2018 under a frozen-preference regime to ensure suitable development of the domestic production sector."
Step by step
The government also highlighted that agreements were executed through the Latin American Integration Association, namely the Partial Scope Agreement for Economic Complementation with Brazil and Argentina and the II Additional Protocol to the Partial Scope Agreement for Economic Complementation with Uruguay.
The Commission also stressed that "this is a very important course of events since those instruments contain the development of Venezuela's Trade Freedom Programs with its Mercosur allies, based on gradualness, flexibility and equilibrium, recognition of asymmetries and preferential treatment, as well as principles of food security, means for subsistence and rural development," adding that Venezuela will become a formal member of Mercosur's Common Nomenclature as of 5 April 2013.
Translated by Félix Rojas Alva
This is all there is
A simple reason: there is oil galore, would suffice to explain Guyana's actions. Another explanation lies in the little or none efforts made by the Venezuelan government to thwart the move by the Guyanese. This is certainly not a new problem, but a problem only recently highlighted because oil is involved. But what other resources does the disputed area hold? For most of us it is a section on the map with black and white stripes on it, a depiction of something distant, alien, a nothingness not worth paying much attention to in geography classes back in elementary school.

The Burren is a unique karst-landscape region in northwest County Clare, in Ireland and one of the largest Karst landscapes in Europe. The region measures approximately 250 square kilometres and is enclosed roughly within the circle comprised by the villages Ballyvaughan, Kinvara, Tubber, Corofin, Kilfenora and Lisdoonvarna, It is bounded by the Atlantic and Galway Bay on the west and north respectively. Strictly speaking the territory of the Burren or barony of Burren only contains the villages of Lisdoonvarna, Ballyvaughan, Fanore, Craggagh, New Quay/Burrin, Bealaclugga (Bellharbour) and Carron.
The definite article (making it "the Burren") has only been added to the name in the last few decades, possibly by academics, as it had always been called Boireann in Irish and Burren in English.[citation needed]
Burren is rich with historical and archeological sites. There are more than 90 megalithic tombs in the area, portal dolmens (including Poulnabrone dolmen), a celtic high cross in the village of Kilfenora, and a number of ring forts - among them the triple ring fort Cahercommaun on the edge of an inland cliff, and the exceptionally well-preserved Caherconnell Stone Fort. Corcomroe Abbey is one of the area's main scenic attractions.
The territory of Burren was also called Corco Modhruadh Oirthearach. The Burren was ruled by the Ó Lochlainn clan, who styled themselves Kings of Burren, up until the upheavals of the mid 1600s. The present day descendant of the last chief of the Ó Lochlainn clan resides in Ballyvaughan. Grikes and clints run along the limestone pavement.
During counter guerilla operations in Burren in 1651-52, Ludlow stated "It is a country where there is not enough water to drown a man, wood enough to hang one, nor earth enough to bury him...... and yet their cattle are very fat; for the grass growing in turfs of earth, of two or three foot square, that lie between the rocks, which are of limestone, is very sweet and nourishing".
The rolling hills of Burren are composed of limestone pavements with crisscrossing cracks known as "grikes", leaving isolated rocks called "clints". The region supports Arctic, Mediterranean and Alpine plants side-by-side, due to the unusual environment. The blue flower of the Spring Gentian, an Alpine plant, is used as a symbol for the area by the tourist board. Burren's many limestone cliffs, particularly the sea-cliffs at Ailladie, near Fanore, are popular with rock-climbers. For potholers, there are a number of charted caves in the area. Doolin is a popular "base camp" for cavers, and is home to one of the two main cave-rescue stores of the Irish Cave Rescue Organisation.
The definitive guides to the caves of the Burren have been published by the University of Bristol Spelæological Society.
The area is also known for its long history of Traditional Irish Music. The "West Clare Style" of concertina playing performed by masters such as Chris Droney (Bealaclugga) and the music festival in Doolin are a draw for musicians from all over the world.

The Greatest Show in the History of Basic Cable!
I usually avoid saying anything is "the best" or "my favorite", but Psych really is THE BEST TV SHOW EVER! I started watching it a year ago, and have now seen every episode (to date). I can not recomend this highly enough, it is hilarious! If you are at all like me you will buy every episode from this season and pray for Apple to add the first two!
My favorite show. No contest.
It's hard for me to pick a TV show that I can call my favorite, but with Psych, it was easy. Among my other favorites are F.R.I.E.N.D.S, Gilmore Girls (I know, but bear with me), LOST, Fresh Prince, etc. There are several reasons why Psych is my favorite TV Show. First, there is something new and exciting IN EVERY EPISODE. A new case, new development in the overall plot of the show, there is no reason to not like an episode. Second, all the crime, suspense, and comedy without the gore and violence. Third, the comedy. I know that I mentioned the comedy earlier, but this show is so friggin hilarious, that it had to be mentioned again. Do yourself and your brain a favor, watch Psych.
Psych is as great as ever
I love this show, and it's as funny as ever. It's great to have NBC-owned shows back on iTunes, especially in HD!

Dublin to get on its bike and ban carsPublished at 12:01AM, June 27 2015
Council expected to approve a €150 million project in which taxis and private cars could be excluded from three main streets in the capital
Campaigners and politicians are calling for a boycott of the UK's biggest minicab firm after its chairman claimed that cyclists are responsible for accidents simply by taking to the roads and should expect to be hurt by drivers.
John Griffin, founder and chairman of the Addison Lee taxi company, is facing a backlash for using his column in the April edition of the firm's Add Lib magazine to suggest that cyclists are irresponsible for "throwing themselves onto some of the most congested spaces in the world" and also criticises those who are "up in arms about what they see as the murder of cyclists on London roads".
Mr Griffin's column, which calls Britain's streets an "abyss" for cyclists, comes in the week that he instructed his 3,500 Addison Lee drivers in London to ignore the threat of criminal prosecution for driving in bus lanes and to flout the ban, promising to reimburse them for any fines they incur.
Mr Griffin, whose company is a £250,000 donor to the Conservative Party, wrote: "Should a motorist fail to observe a granny wobbling to avoid a pothole or a rain drain, then he is guilty of failing to anticipate that this was somebody on her maiden voyage into the abyss.
"The fact is that he just didn't see her and however cautious, caring or alert he is, the influx of beginner cyclists is going to lead to an overall increase in accidents involving cyclists."
Mr Griffin also demanded that cyclists pay "road tax". He wrote: "It is time for us to say to cyclists: 'You want to join our gang, get trained and pay up'."
However, road tax was abolished in 1937. Car drivers pay Vehicle Excise Duty, which is linked to emissions and therefore not applicable to cyclists. The maintenance of Britain's road network is paid for out of general taxation, garnered from the income and council tax paid by most adult citizens, including cyclists.
Jenny Jones, the Green Party candidate for London mayor, wrote on her website: "I will not again use an Addison Lee taxi and am happy to join those calling for a total boycott of their organisation."
The term "Addison Lee" has also been trending on Twitter across the UK today. Lord Prescott, the former Deputy Prime Minister, tweeted that he had cancelled his Addison Lee account and called on others to do the same, retweeting a comment by a user, Dan Rogers, who wrote: "Lots of corporate accounts will be cancelled over this."
Another user sent an open message to the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, asking: "Boris if a cyclist is killed by Addison Lee illegally in [a] buslane will you back corporate manslaughter charges against them[?]"
Some users agreed with Mr Griffin's call for more training for cyclists — a demand also made in The Times's 'Cities fit for cycling' campaign. Yet another tweeter, Dave Brown, wrote: "The idea of training new cyclists isn't a bad one, but how badly expressed."
Dr Robert Davis, chair of the Road Danger Reduction Forum, wrote on the BikeBiz website, describing Mr Griffin's words as a "display of self-pitying bigotry and victim-blaming" and criticised his claim that motorists have more right to be on the roads because they are "sitting inside a protected space with impact bars and air bags".
A protest has been planned by cyclists and pedestrians to converge on Addison Lee's London offices at 6pm on Monday.
UPDATE 3.11pm:
John Griffin has told The Times: "My foreword in Addison Lee's magazine Add Lib, has caused quite a storm on Twitter. In the article, I argued for compulsory training and insurance for London's bicycle owners and I stand by my contention.
"I accept that the tone of the article was perhaps a little too inflammatory. It was meant to entertain and generate debate, but the online reaction has obscured the main message that there are many inexperienced cyclists who need better training to be safe on London's busy roads.
"Contrary to what has been reported, at no point did I suggest that motorists are never to blame. Both cyclists and motorists have a responsibility to use the roads safely.
"Cycling is a serious issue and lives are at stake. There have been huge campaigns recently to encourage cycling, but hardly any have addressed improving safety and road awareness for cyclists. If my article causes a debate around whether cyclists need training and holding to the same standards as other road users, bring it on."
However, point five of The Times's 'Cities fit for cycling' manifesto does state: "The training of cyclists and drivers must improve", while cyclist training has featured heavily throughout the campaign, in articles about Bikeability training for children, road awareness training for adults, extension of training programmes in schools, and advice for cyclists on how to stay safe on the roads.

On July 2, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker signed SB 121. Wisconsin already permitted write-ins and already said that they should be counted for candidates who had filed a campaign finance report. But, except for presidential write-ins, the old law did not specify a deadline for such a campaign finance report to be filed. The bill says write-ins shall be counted if the write-in candidate files a campaign finance report by noon on the Friday before the election (however, presidential write-ins already had a write-in filing deadline that is somewhat earlier, and their own rules on filing).
Wisconsin is to be commended for allowing very late filing by write-in candidates. A major purpose of allowing write-in votes is to allow for last-minute unexpected events that might cause the need for late entry of write-in candidates. Yet states like Texas, Florida and Ohio set write-in filing deadlines several months before the election.

Petition Update
Thank You All Who Have Contributed to this Democratic Effort
Sebastopol, CA
Jul 16, 2013 — But one small drop in what, in accumulation, will hopefully come to resemble a tsunami of outrage and indignation, the contributions by all who have taken the time to make their opinions known here are a wonderful and uplifting example of the purest realization of democracy. We do care, are connected and know a steadfast involvement demanding accountability from our elected representatives.
Again, thank you all.

Because of this, when people ask me why I chosen to become the music director there, my answer of "because it's dope", admittedly isn't very descriptive. »Read Full Blog Post

Eden Hazard set to join Chelsea from Lille
Sought-after Lille midfielder Eden Hazard looks set to sign for Chelsea this summer after announcing he is joining the "Champions League winner".
The 21-year-old had reportedly attracted interest from several of Europe's top clubs, including Manchester City and Manchester United.
Eden Hazard timeline
Jan 1991: Born in La Louviere, Belgium
Nov 2007: Makes first-team debut for Lille in 2-0 defeat by Nancy
Nov 2008: Given his first cap for Belgium, aged 18, in a substitute appearance against Luxembourg
Sept 2008: Becomes Lille's youngest-ever goalscorer with a strike against Auxerre in 3-2 win
May 2009: Wins Young Player of the Year award, the first overseas player to do so
May 2010: Retains Young Player of the Year award, the first player to do so
May 2011: Helps Lille win a league and cup double, as well as winning Player of the Year
Oct 2011: Notches first international goal for Belgium
May 2012: Wins Player of the Year again after scoring 17 league goals
But the Belgian is reportedly heading to Stamford Bridge on a five-year deal for a fee said to be around £32m.
Hazard wrote on Twitter: "I'm signing for the Champions League winner."
The midfielder, who is currently on international duty with Belgium and is expected to face England on Saturday, has used the social network to tease details of his transfer in recent weeks.
However Chelsea declined to comment on any move, saying: "As with all transfers, when we have something to announce, we will announce it in the usual way."
The playmaker, who made his Lille debut as a 16-year-old in November 2007, has been capped 26 times for the Belgian national side.
He was also named 2012 Player of the Year in France, becoming only the second player in French football history to win the accolade two years running - this came after picking up back-to-back Young Player of the Year awards in 2009 and 2010.
In 2011, the youngster also helped guide Lille to their first league championship since 1954, while 17 goals this season aided qualification for next season's Champions League.
And football journalist Philippe Auclair said French football has "lost its best player".
"The way his transfer has been played out live on Twitter [will mean] a few people have already lost patience with the type of character he is," said Auclair, France Football correspondent.
"But in terms of raw talent he is absolutely spectacular. Technically, he is superb. He is very quick, and although he is still very young, he is quite experienced - this was his fifth season with Lille.
"But he only has two goals in 27 games for the Belgium national team so he is not quite the finished article yet."

Hmwe Paya - Snake Pagoda
On the Mandalay-Meiktila road, is Paleik, the home of this snake pagoda. There are 2 pythons which reside in the recess with the gold Buddha image, curled around and with it. They have carers, who feed and wash them daily at 11am, and look over them throughout the day. This is not a much visited pagoda by tourists, but there are many Myanma people who visit here, and have photographs taken with the pampered pythons.
The pagoda was built in the early 20th Century.
I was eagerly brought forward to get nice and close to the cold slithery things - just to reinforce my snake aversion. The Myanma onlookers were much amused at my response when I refused the sinuous adornment for a digital image!
There is also a large courtyard with dozens of naga images, and a photographic gallery, showing people with the snakes curled around them. Aaaagghh....not good for a snake phobic!
Something very different to be sure!

U Bein's Bridge
Stretching across the Taungthaman Lake is a teak bridge, which, at 1.2km long, is said to be the longest in the world. It joins the Maha Ganayon Kyaung, where there is a large monastery, and the village of Pahtodawgyi. The bridge is named after the mayor of Amarapura, and this footbridge is constructed from salvaged material from Inwa Palace. Its amazing to think that most of the materials in this bridge are nearly 200 years old. Some of the upright teak posts have been replaced by concrete poles, but most are the original timber.
The subject of much artwork, this picturesque bridge was one of my favourite things in Mandalay. We walked across the bridge, but came back in a little boat, which was paddled by a very elderly gentleman, who has undoubtedly paddled the shallow lake thousands of times in his life.
The bridge is an essential connection across the lake, and has undoubtedly been pounded by millions of feet. There was a constant stream of "commuters" the whole time we were there.

Walk around Pyin U Lwin
Organise a taxi and go to Pyin U Lwin/Maymyo and visit a town that is still locked into the late 50s. The central point is Purcell Tower (erected in 1936)but from here you can explore the main streets and visit some of the major buildings which are great examples of British colonial history such as the Hospital, the government schools, the cemetry, the main Church of England.
Travel along Circle Road and there are also some wonderful examples of the houses that the colonial British lived in in their heyday.

Take some time out at U-Bein Bridge
U Bein Bridge is located in Amarapura. It is a 1.2km teak footbridge across the Taungthaman Lake.
What you will see is hundreds of villagers going back and forth, fishermen in the water, boatmen hoping to catch some passengers.
Along the bridge there are a number of "pitstops". You could easily sit here and just simply take a break and observe the passing parade and the activities of the stall owners as they sell their wares (fresh fish, snacks, water, toddy).It is very peaceful despite the hive of activity along the bridge.
If you walk across the bridge on the other side is the Kyauktawgyi Paya.
Around the bridge there is a outdoor seating area and women cooking and a variety of stalls selling artworks and other crafts.
We asked our blue taxi driver to take us here as well as Sagaing. (cost US$20)

Sagaing-ancient capital of the Shan Kingdom
This isn't really off the beaten track but you do have to hire a car or a taxi to visit Sagaing from Mandalay. Sagaing was the capital of the Shan Kingdom and is now a major Buddhist centre with over 500 stupas and 6,000 monks and nuns. Unfortunately we were not able to explore the area in any great depth.
However, we were able to go to the main site- Saigaing Hill and in so doing see some of the other fabulous pagodas from a distance! Enough to whet our appetite to visit again!
To enter Saigaing you have to pay a fee of US$3.00. At two lion gate you climb about 350 steps upward and maybe 500 metres horizontally.There are a number of viewing platforms on the way to take in the view. Once you get to the top the pagoda itself is quite beautiful and you have nearly 300 degrees of views of Sagaing, Sagaing Bridge and the Ayerwaddy river.

Visit on Mandalay brewery
To visit on Mandalay brewery is not easy , because you need permission for this . Brewery belongs to the Government. I got the permission.
I had meeting with general manager major Mr. U Thaung Myint , who works there already twenty four years.
In spite of cordiality ,everything was very strictly. To make photos was prohibited. Only after I beg for it , he permitted me to make a few pics but only in special places. When I made photos of brewery from outside , he ordered stuffs to close every window. Then he shaw us old brewery building ( since 1886 ) with old British equipment ( still working ) , and permitted to shoot it , but I gave promisses that never print this pictures for a public , because he must be fired. So I won`t , I just show only one pic of the brewery from outside , that major gave me. It is of no restriction. Pay your attention - in this photo all windows are closed and no workers..
Then we taste beer ( he - russian , me - Mandalay lager ) , and at last he presented me box of Mandalay lager ( 12 bottles x 640 ml ) . Heavy gift to carry to Russia !

Mandalay sunrise
For some of you the Sunrise may be off the beaten path?! LOL When I'm traveling I love to get up for sunrise. Especially in Asia where it is hot during the mid-day. It is so comfortable (for me) to walk around in the morning just as sunrise comes up and you get to watch the city come alive with activivity. Most of the locals in Mandalay were wearing some sort of heavier jacket in the morning. Some even wore a winter ski hat. It was just great for me. The temperature seemed somewhere around in the low 70's F or low 20's C. Which is hotter than most of our summer days in Kodiak. LOL

From Hsipaw it's a 80km ride which took me 10 hours to reach Namhsan where I could stay at a local house as there are not yet any guesthouse.

It was a good experience to spend their a night in the nons section.

A Bullock cart picked up this lady by the Pwe Kauk Falls. These carts are used to carry people as well as commodities over the dusty roads throughout Myanmar. The bullocks are so docile and placidly plod their way through the day.
How to get there?

We hired a taxi for a combine trip.

Sorry for boring you with the sunrise photos but it was such a beautiful morning. My son and I wandered around for a couple hours before we ate breakfast.

Set in 520 acres of lush, secluded estate beside the rugged Fife coastline, the Fairmont St Andrews - just three miles from this week's British Open - captivates you from the moment your cab noses on to its long driveway.
The exterior resembles an elegant French chateau, but as soon as you step inside, the tartan carpets, paintings and the warm hospitality remind you that you are in Scotland. The bright, airy glass-roofed atrium adds an American flavour, as befits a hotel bought by the up-scale North American chain Fairmont 10 years ago.
Other than the giveaway in its name and the occasional low-flying aeroplane, guests at the sumptuous Luton Hoo could be forgiven for being unaware of its proximity to Luton airport.
The peace, calm and luxury make the hotel feel like a rural idyll, yet it is just 30 minutes up the M1 from North London. A winding, gravel drive flanked by towering trees, brings you to the magnificent palladian Mansion House built by Robert Adam in 1767, its 1,000 acres of parkland containing gardens landscaped by Capability Brown.
V The trouble with newish country house hotels is that, polished and swagged within an inch of their lives, they spoil us for the real thing. Like Ston Easton Park, a really grand old pile relatively recently converted to a hotel. Being seriously old, it has a fascinating history — but age brings its problems. So I had to get over the fact Ston Easton has a shabby, discoloured façade compared to the splendid mansions of golden Bath stone a few miles away, and that my vast bedroom smelled faintly musty.
No-one does old-style glamour like the Italians, and it's particularly true in Naples, the very essence of old-style, baroque, schmaltzy Italy. So it's no surprise to find a wealth of recession-defying silk, marble and silver at the Grand Hotel Vesuvio overlooking Vesuvius, Sorrento and other heart-stopping delights of Naples Bay.
With its own quay at the V&A Waterfront, Table Mountain as its backdrop and Robben Island across the water, the Cape Grace occupies one of the most magnificent locations in Cape Town and is just a short stroll from the smartest shops and restaurants.
A near faultless five-star hotel, with all the amenities to match - including huge rooms, flat-screen TV and free wi-fi - it is the friendly, professional staff who make the Cape Grace so special, seeming genuinely to care that your stay in the hotel and the city is perfect.
In a constantly-changing world, London's Mandarin Oriental reassures by appearing to be totally constant. This is, of course, an illusion - even the name of this august old lady of Knightsbridge has changed, and the restaurants and bars have been in constant flux in response to fashion. No more than you'd expect from a hotel with Madonna's seal of approval.
Lake District hotelier Robert Whittington knew I was a kosher customer from the moment I booked - he knew from my Hendon postcode.
"It's Jewish guests who keep me in business," he said as we checked into the vegetarian hotel, just half a mile from Grasmere, and overlooking the Valley of Easedale.
It's not really suprising he has such a large kosher clientele - he was the only 100 per cent vegetarian hotel to be found via a Google search.
And after only a few hours at the hotel, set in 30 acres of gardens, it was clear it was more than just the food that made it so popular.
If anyone could bring a touch of class to an area whose reputation has been damaged by overbuilding and too many package tourists, it's Fairmont. The company which now owns the Savoy, and is overseeing a restoration to its art deco glory days, has shown, in its Mayakoba resort on Mexico's Caribbean coast, that it can also do eco resorts.
You don't expect an airport hotel to be glamorous, but that's the first word that comes to mind arriving at the Sofitel Gatwick. Blame it on the soaring atrium and impressive water feature which greet guests emerging from the tunnel which links this hotel (it looks like such an anonymous box from the outside), with the North Terminal.
Of all the gin joints in all the world, you won't find one with more varieties of mother's ruin than The Feathers in Woodstock. But there are more reasons to visit this charming country inn than a quest for the ultimate G&T.
It may not be apparent at first glance why Gwyneth Paltrow and Johnny Depp have graced such an unassuming establishment. The tiny reception area is a lot less showy than that of the neighbouring Bear, and with its proximity to Blenheim Palace, Oxford and the Cotswolds, pretty Woodstock is positively spilling over with places to stay.
