We are a 60+ gay couple who love adventure. We're foodies and love off-the-beaten-path places, especially street food. And while we love visiting historical and cultural sites, we always hang with the locals.

Christmas in Las Vegas: Shang Artisan Noodle and Shin Lim

Posted on April 16, 2022April 16, 2022 by Mark And Chuck's Adventures

This year we had a different kind of Christmas. For years we lived away from our families in Pennsylvania and South Jersey. But, we’ve always been home, decorated, went to church, and had friends over to our home. This year was different. Don’t get us wrong; we LOVED spending time with our friends Casey and…

Posted on April 10, 2022 by Mark And Chuck's Adventures

Visiting the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam were two of the “Must Do” things for our Christmas trip to Las Vegas. While Mark’s been to conferences in Las Vegas, he never ventured out of town. And, for Chuck, who wasn’t all that excited about visiting Las Vegas, it was a nice getaway.   A Global…

Posted on March 26, 2022 by Mark And Chuck's Adventures

Picking a location for our Las Vegas trip was no easy fete; there are tons of options on and off The Strip. So, when we stumbled on a great deal for The Vdara Hotel and Spa, we knew we were all set!   American Airlines Vacations While we often fly American Airlines and have an…

From the Holy Land to Sin City, Las Vegas!

Posted on March 23, 2022 by Mark And Chuck's Adventures

Long before our 9 Day Southern Road Trip, we had other travel plans for the end of 2021. And much like everyone else in the world who like to travel, we were in a constant state of wait and see.   Turning 60 Chuck’s 60th birthday bucket list trip was to see Africa, the Maasai,…

Dinner at O’Steen’s Restaurant

Posted on March 16, 2022March 16, 2022 by Mark And Chuck's Adventures

O’Steen’s Restaurant wasn’t originally on our St. Augustine bucket list. We decided to stay close to the hotel for our last night in St. Augustine. We knew that we had an early start to head back across Florida in the last leg of our Southern Road Trip. Neither of us is exactly sure how we…

Visiting the St. Augustine Distillery

Posted on March 14, 2022 by Mark And Chuck's Adventures

With the rave reviews online about the St Augustine Distillery, we knew it was something to check out on the last leg of our Southern Road Trip. We are not big drinkers, and to be completely honest, our home bar is overstocked. Our friends tend to bring us bottles when they come to dinner, and…

True Confession: The Lightner Museum was not on our list of things to do while in St. Augustine on our recent road trip. The Lightner Museum 75 King Street St. Augustine, Florida 32084 We love getting lost in a local museum with more extended visits. Unfortunately, with a 9 Day Southern Road Trip and only…

Peace Pie St. Augustine

Posted on February 23, 2022 by Mark And Chuck's Adventures

If you missed our last blog post, we had dinner at Harry’s Seafood Bar and Grille on our first night in St. Augustine. Our server was less than charming and basically blew off asking about dessert – so we paid our check and left. Their loss was our gain! We wandered down the block, across…
