Jaime Ortiz-Patiño owns one of the most famous collections of golf memorabilia in the world…and he’s set to sell it. Nobody knows the reason for the sale, but we do know that his collection is ready to be sold at auction in London on the 30th of May this year. Many of the items which will be for sale will be exhibited in Dubai, Hong Kong, and New York over the coming months to stir up some interest. The collection is made up of golf balls, clubs, programs and official documents, and also some outstanding art-work.

Over the years I have tried to stay current on tech gadgets and services offered to travelers. One of the ongoing issues is the high cost of data roaming charges when you are overseas, or at least out of your home network. Much has been written about this yet many travelers still fall victim to substantial data roaming charges upon their return home for a foreign vacation.

Bulgari – a familiar name to the ladies for exclusive jewellery and exotic perfume (I am lucky enough to have a striking amber box on my dressing-table) – are to build an equally luxurious boutique hotel in Knightsbridge, London. Influenced by the company’s history as silversmiths to the very rich and famous, the hotel will have silver as the main theme and has been designed on the same lines as the original Bulgari hotel in Milan, Italy and by the same designer.

Full English Breakfast
Ever wondered what the difference is in the full breakfast as you travel around the countries that make up the UK? Eggs and bacon will be included everywhere, but what accompanies them may differ.
In England you can expect to find sausages, grilled tomatoes and mushrooms and may be offered black pudding, baked beans and fried bread. Breakfast tea is usually stronger than most other varieties and toast and marmalade will be on the table.

The Summer Opening of Buckingham Palace commenced on the 27th of July, and this years’ exhibition runs until the 1st of October. The theme is The Queens Year and is a collection of Her Majesty’s outfits and robes (including the Robe of State) on display to the public for the first time.
The Royal Collection
Some of the state rooms are also available to the public and it is a rare chance for visitors to walk around these magnificent rooms and admire the furniture and paintings, or to escape to the tranquillity of the palace gardens. Walking amongst the flowers it is hard to imagine the busy city which is bustling on every side.

One of London’s most famous hotels is on schedule for its re-opening in October this year. The Savoy Hotel on The Strand closed at the end of 2007 and has been undergoing a very ambitious restoration to offer the very finest up-to-date facilities without destroying the much loved atmosphere of this grand hotel. The hotel has featured in many movies, and no trip to London for the rich and famous was complete without afternoon tea at The Savoy.
