We went back and forth…The logical thing to do when heading to London from Strasbourg would be to take the train to Paris Gare de l’Est then transfer to the Eurostar. But what fun is that?! We had family to visit in Germany anyway! So we were off! We left the beautiful French Alsace region […]
After a much delayed and heavy turbulent flight, we made it to Hanoi! A big city with lots and lots of life! We’ll preface this blog post with the fact that we were in Hanoi, Vietnam’s capital, over Reunification Day, the day North and South Vietnam became one again. It’s like being in the US […]
Usually, when one of us has a craving in this house, Dean is the one to not only execute, but is also known to make his own twist on it and this dessert is no different! We were craving creme brulee and as soon as we got our hands on a household butane torch, we […]
Not quite sure how it happened, but we only left ourselves with one full day in Sydney. No fear! We, of course, made the most of it! Luckily our flight got in pretty early in the morning, so we were able to get out and start seeing things with most of the day left. Sydney […]
Warning! Blog contains A LOT of beach and ocean photos!! Also – reader beware – blog contains SUPER CUTE fluffy koala photos! The Great Ocean Road spans from about an hour outside Melbourne for about 150 miles. It lines the coast with the most beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean. We decided to do it […]
A man we met on the plane told us we were starting our trip into Asia the right way with Bali being the first stop. He said it’ll be a nice introduction to Asia. (Technically we’ve been to Asia, but we consider India its own sub-continent) He called it “Soft Asia” and that the weather […]
Once Bubby arrived, we slowed down (with still managing to see and do A LOT!) and had one goal in mind, show her the best time we possibly could! On her first day we took her to The Eiffel Tower so she could see it in all its glory, and went to Galleries Lafayette, Paris’ […]
Hi. We’re Julie and Dean. Our passions in life are each other (of course!) food, wine and travel. “I’m gonna take you to Paris!” That was probably one of the first things I heard from Dean in the beginning of our relationship. Okay so, at first that might be weird to hear from someone you’re […]
Singapore, a city and country all in one! Everyone warned us it would be expensive here and boy were they right! We used 3 of our free nights on Hotels.com for our hotel stay here and still ended up paying a good amount! (Of course, we booked through Ebates to get some extra cash back! […]
Obviously we said yes. Multiple times. Being that Dean is from about 60 miles outside Montreal, he always told me he had to take me. In fact, before we met in person (yes, we are a very happy result from an online dating site!) he told me..”I am going to take you to Montreal on one […]
What an honor and amazing experience it has been to be featured in Travel & Leisure! We are so flattered by all the response and love from everyone. We are having the time of our lives and wouldn’t trade it for anything! Since then we’ve been featured in two more news outlets, the New York […]
Oh Argentina, how you’ve completely surpassed our expectations. Why Mendoza? There are a lot of reasons someone would want to visit Mendoza, but the things that comes to mind first is for the wine and the meat. That was enough for us. We had heard about all the amazing wines that come from here and needed […]
What an amazing city! Each place we’ve been to in Australia has impressed us but Brisbane may have just taken the top spot! It was difficult to decide where to stay as there are a lot of different areas that all have their benefits. We put all our filters into Hotels.com and found a place […]
