In summer 2011, I was working at a small Berlin travel agency and facing a conundrum: my clients literally held tickets to nowhere. Their planes would be taking off shortly, but their destination – Berlin-Brandenburg Airport – would not be open to welcome them. Six summers have since come and gone, but each year the same news, almost gleeful at this point, trickles out of that massive construction site south of the capital: the project has gone billions over budget and is nowhere close to opening. So whatever happened to German efficiency?

If you’re blessed with an outdoor space, then you’ve hit the jackpot. There’s nothing more divine than to chill in your backyard sipping a glass of freshly made lemonade or tending to your planted herbs.

I carefully framed the iceberg over my left shoulder and snapped the perfect selfie. A few taps of my phone later, the image was soaring through cyberspace from my location in St John’s, Newfoundland, to my various social media channels and followers around the world.
I smiled, wondering if, when Guglielmo Marconi stood on this spot in December 1901 to...
