One of the main attraction sights in Buenos Aires is the Recoleta cemetery which houses the dead of both modern and historical residents of this sprawling metropolis. The most famous denizen, in my opinion, is Eva Peron aka “Evita”. We decided to try and find her final resting place on our second day. While we […]
A Night with Dante
A cool thing about Buenos Aires is the heavy Italian influence found in almost all of the restaurants (Pizza is Argentinian fare) and in the language. You say Ciao instead of Adios, and when in doubt my faltering Italiano passed for decent communication without too many strange looks. It seems fitting that the first sight […]
Sin vs Con…The Battle Continues
There is a phenomenon found outside of the United States (though I fear it has started to infiltrate our shores as well) known as fizzy water. You find this strange drink stored right next to the far superior normal water in markets, drug stores and even in restaurants. The way you can tell the difference, […]
My kingdom for a hair straightener
Flights these days can lose their allure pretty quickly…particularly when you’ve traveled a ton…and after you’ve had three take-off and landing combinations within 12 hours.

This pact has taken us to some incredible places, our 2011 trip, for instance, was Germany, Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Belgium and revisiting Paris. And then Australia happened. Which opened […]
Speedos and Monkeys
An hour long plane ride (complete with multiple drink services and a sandwich) later and we are on the island of Phuket where it is impossibly hotter than the city – our cute beach resort dresses are quickly soaked through as we find the world’s most expensive taxi stand and commence a 2 hour drive […]
Once in a Lifetime…part 2
One extremely short week after we returned from our New Zealand adventures and I was heading back to the states while Adam started his last few months in Melbourne. On my way I made a side stop in Thailand to meet up with a girlfriend (one of “The Others” who will be known as “A”) […]
