The Grand Life' is the funny and touching memoir of the life and times of Patrick Langley Griffin OAM, growing up in the post war years of a gloomy Britain in the 40's and 50's, then through his long career an hotelier in some 'Grand' hotels in England and Australia. Part 1: 1946 to 1947 Patrick L Griffin OAM, growing up in the post war years of a gloomy Britain in the 40s and 50s, through his fifty years as a hotelier in grand hotels across the UK, Europe and Australia. His memoir is filled with characters famous, infamous and hitherto unknown. From his first star encounter with Charlie Chaplin, the memoir is filled with tales of film stars, rock legends, celebrities, Heads of State and politicians, as well as the British Royal Family. No less enjoyable are the tales of ordinary folk, just as full of laughs, tears and crazy behaviour. The memoir is full of humour, candour and genuine empathy for the common humanity that binds us all. Born in Rugby, England in 1946, his early youth was spent in Swanage, Dorset, where the family had moved to escape the German bombing while their father served in the RAF. Although not academically inclined, his charm, wit and unfailing ability to make lemonade when he was given lemons ensure his childhood and public school years are filled with adventures and hilarious mishaps. His career started in 1963 as a trainee manager at Te Grand Hotel in Eastbourne, a very traditional Victorian-era five-star hotel, where he found his passion for hospitality. Half a century of social and political change comes to life, from post- war austerity and bureaucracy through the Swinging Sixties and the 'Summer of Love' in Amsterdam, to England's industrial upheaval and 'Winter of Discontent' of the Seventies. He moved to Australia as the century drew to a close for a new beginning, opening two hotels that would set a new benchmark in luxury hotel standards. His resilience and sense of humour helped him to survive and thrive.

The topos of the journey is one of the oldest in literature, and even in this age of packaged tours and mediated experience, it still remains one of the most compelling. This volume examines the ways in which the legacy of the Grand Tour is still evident in works of travel and literature. From its aristocratic origins and the permutations of sentimental and romantic travel to the age of tourism and globalization, the Grand Tour still influences the destinations tourists choose and shapes the ideas of culture and sophistication that surround the act of travel. The essays in this collection examine a wide variety of literature—travel, memoir, and fiction—and explore the ways travel and ideas of “culture” have evolved since the heyday of the Grand Tour in the 18th century. The sites of the Grand Tour remain a powerful cultural draw, and they continue to define ideas of taste and learning for those who visit them.

Our Grand Journey of Self-Exploration opens the door to connecting with your spirit truth. Whether this is your first journey of the soul or not, you will transform your thoughts about communicating through life, soul-to-soul, regardless of whether the soul is in the physical or in the spiritual realm. We all have a direct connection with the divine, and we can consciously choose to identify with the soul self of others before seeing the physical self. In seeing the soul self of others, you will be able to lovingly communicate their desires and fears with loving support. It is a time in history that is saying its time to appreciate the soulful connection we have to our loved ones in spirit. That is where we are as a collective, you know. Were at that juncture in the human history where it is time to let go of the fear of the unknown, of the fear of death, the fear and uncertainty of what exists beyond this physical world that we cant see with our physical eyes. By the soul of Peter D. Conn.

In the eighteenth century, modern tourism was born as the English flocked to see the European mainland, the majority of them following what was commonly called "the Grand Tour." Geographically, it was a generally agreed-upon route that reached its climax in Italy; but the tour was also seen as a route to self-knowledge and as an unrivaled opportunity to form valuable social contacts. Thomas Nugent's The Grand Tour was the single most important book articulating this new phenomenon of mass travel. It achieved the authoritative status of a Baedeker long before Karl Baedeker's birth. Nugent's great work, here reprinted for the first time since the eighteenth century, is a vital document in the history of tourism and the culture of eighteenth-century Britain.
