(40)
We craft vacations which bring like-minded people together to experience special events and destinations covering a multitude of Geek genres. We take you to the places you dreamt of as a child and help you experience the things that you love now. We give you the vehicle to increase and enhance your love for whatever Geeky thing interests you. It is our pleasure to see Geeks get together and make i
nstant bonds and lasting friendships on our tours. No matter what Geeky thing we are celebrating – participants quickly fall into spontaneous conversations because they share a common vocabulary and mutual love of that thing. Participants find themselves immersed in the culture they love, surrounded by people with like passions, in a community that embraces them. We help you create stories about the things you love…

So I am back from our Gempei War adventure and will continue to post about it for some time. I had the absolute honour to have Daniele Bolelli from History on Fire with us acting as tour historian. Check out his chilling reminder of our place in history.
A few days ago, I found myself walking through Hiroshima, at the very spot where the US dropped the atomic bomb on the city. I was on my way to Miyajima Island, one of the most beautiful places in Japan, and Hiroshima to me was just a pit stop on the way. Since the people in group I was with (the wo...
Today saw the start of the Shimonoseki Festival and we could feel the building excitement as we viewed the Dan-no-ura battlefield and the end of the Gempei war. We took in the view from the Hinoyama Roadway (closing thus year), Mimosusogawa Park, and Heike no Ippai-Mizu… As a side bar we visited Ganryujima

Covered the battle of Ichi no Tani with a view from the summit where Minamoto no Yosh*tsune led his charge … Then we did a deep dive into the death of Taira no Atsumori at the hands of Kumagai Naozane. Daniele Bolelli explained regrets and the sometimes ridged nature of honour. Eventually we ended up with a room with a view…

I was informed of the passing of a D&D great today. James Ward was best known for Gamma World, but his work on the beginnings of Dungeons and Dragons history should not be understated.. I had the great pleasure of meeting and gaming with him in Lake Geneva. He was an amazing DM - funny and and easily able to adapt to the hilarious adventure that ensued… May the gods take you in, sit at your table and know adventure…
