It really is true. I was pickpocketed twice on the same train ride within a ten minute span. This might be because I have never been mistaken for a local, but based on all of the locals in Buenos Aires who are fearful of pickpockets, I doubt this was the case. Instead, I think I […]
Let’s face it. Movies like Sideways, Bottleshock, and French Kiss glamorize wine tasting to be a romantic and whimsical event and have us yearning to traipse through wine country on a sunny day drinking to our heart’s content.

In preparing for our RTW trip in January, Tony and I are excited to toss all of our stuff and scale our lives down to one backpack each. Sure, a few tears might be shed when I have to give up my shoe collection and the 100+ tops that I have been known to color […]
