After 3,500 miles in the car from Boston on our recent cross country road trip we finally arrived in our favorite city in the U.S. – San Francisco. San Francisco holds a special place in our heart. It was where Tony lived for five months in 2009 for his former job at Wells Fargo and […]
I have a very important Breaking News story: We LOVE food. Okay, it’s not that little of a fact… it’s a HUGE fact. We love food so much that we sometimes let it dictate where we travel to. Our adventures to France, Italy, and Thailand weren’t just influenced by the history and culture of these […]

Tony and I spent this past month on the Thai island of Koh Samui, house-sitting a beautiful luxury villa and taking care of some amazing German Shepherd dogs.
