"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a Spanish phrase book must be in want of a holiday”

Well, not necessarily! Some people don’t want a holiday, they want a life changing experience. Just over thirty years ago as the miners went on strike and The Smiths released their first album, Andy left a trouble torn Thatcherite Britain and boarded a flight for Malaga. Clutching a Spanish phrase book he dreamed of adventure.

Thirty years on and Andy returns to the Spain of his youth, accompanied by his wife, Tania, and his two sons, Will and Tom. He still carries a phrase book but he doesn't want a life changing experience, he wants a holiday. Travel in time and space; visit Spain in two different time periods and in very different circumstances.

Travel to Malaga, Granada, Seville, Córdoba and various other Andalusian towns and cities and then head north to the Basque Country Walk in the shadow of Lorca, Durruti and La Pasionaria, as the author tries to discover the answers to some eternal questions - Is there such a thing as a life changing experience? Does the past shape the future or does the future shape the past?

Bridging USB-C hub for Mac.
Style: 10-in-1【1 HDMI+1 VGA】
Best USB C hub for a Mac. It also has interface that bridges the technology crossover for the boomers and millennials 🙂 (SD, Micro SD, RJ45, 3.5 mm audio)

Every day essential
Style: 10-in-1【1 HDMI+1 VGA】
I love it. It’s very useful for my computer. It is very well built and is durable the connection seems lose but works very well. Very easy to use. And pretty quick. I use it for my mouse and keyboard. It works very well without any noticable delay. I do not know if it can charge a computer. Mine does not use it to charge. But it works perfectly and would totally buy again

VGA compatibility issues
Style: 10-in-1【1 HDMI+1 VGA】
My Asus laptop could not sync the display scaling properly with a Samsung 1280 x 1024 VGA monitor connected via the hub. So compatibility is not universal. Seems great otherwise.

Good durability
Style: 10-in-1【1 HDMI+1 VGA】
I had the 8 in 1, but realized I needed one more usb hub for my current setup when using dual screens, scanner, printer, and drives, this seems to do well, is a bit heavier than the previous model as expected. Good material and easy to unmount quickly from the computer. Works with usb c connections so perfect for my Surface Pro 9.

One for work, one for home. Nice to have just one cable connection. All other peripherals stay cabled.
