Almost 300 years ago, 50 musicians climbed onto a barge on the Thames and premiered Handel's Water Music for King George I. I found myself humming snatches of the catchy baroque suites as I crossed the Millennium Footbridge over the river a few days after a magical concert at St. Martin's in the Fields Anglican church. My partner and I wandered into Trafalgar Square at sunset on a Saturday night and were able to secure excellent seats to hear London's most talented young classical musicians perform in one of the world's most famous baroque music venues.
London's theatre district has given itself over to tourist-oriented musicals, but it was first famous for edgy plays. As soon as we arrived in the city, we bought a Time Out guide at a corner store and picked the play that suited my nost...

So, on balance I'd say it's very safe. Just stay on the well-worn tourist track. That's what we did and I had a fantastic time with our van of four journalists from Montreal, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and me, a native of Winnipeg from Vancouver.
At night, the journalists boarded a traditional dhow boat for a 45-minute cruise to Mombasa's Old Town. We walked the ancient streets that lead to Fort Jesus, a fabled Portuguese bastion with metre-thick coral walls built in 1593. Much of the fort's history was detailed in a sound and light show with actors in period costumes. The fort's key role in the slave trade was not mentioned.
Everywhere in Kenya, people were very happy to see us, greeting us with "Jambo" (hello, in Swahili) and "Karibu" (welcome). They'll be happy to see you, too.

Shamefully, before being invited by the U.K.'s tourist bureau , I knew little about Manchester and only what's obvious about Liverpool. Which meant that I was destined to become yet another one of the 600,000 tourists who arrive annually to tour the haunts of the Beatles.
The Greater Manchester area has 2.5 million people, compared to less than two million in Greater Liverpool. But Manchester's city centre is compact and easy to get around.
Until October Air Canada has direct flights to Manchester from Toronto. Star Alliance partner British Midlands offers direct flights from Chicago. And Zoom and Air Transat also have direct service from Toronto. From Manchester you have your choice of transportation for the 40-mile trip up the road to Liverpool, or you can fly to London and connect di...
