It’s no secret we’re a couple of foodies. But beyond loving great food, we both LOVE to cook. Mark is a classically trained chef who worked in the industry for several decades. However, he openly admits that he enjoys cooking more now that it’s not his life’s work. On the other hand, Chuck grew up…
No, we’re not really Merida Mexico or even Yucatan locals. The truth is this was our first trip to this portion of Mexico, and to say we are more than novice Spanish speakers might still be an exaggeration. However, wherever we travel, we try to get away from touristy places and eat and shop with…
Mayan influences are very noticeable in Merida and across the Yucatan. There are dozens of incredible Mayan ruins in the region surrounding Merida.

Safe Space Coast dining options for our Florida Road Trip / Staycation 2020 was a big part of our planning. We were only doing outdoor seating, where servers wore masks and we looked for places with CDC precaution in place. SQUID LIPS 1477 Pineapple Avenue Melbourne, FL 32935 Squid Lips in downtown Melbourne fit the…
The irony is not lost on us that our first post after sharing our trip to India is about burgers. We rarely eat red meat, but when we do, we LOVE a great burger. And, yes, we were craving burgers when we got home from India. St Pete’s Top 10 Burgers We’ve only…
Looking back through nearly 5,000 photos, writing several dozen blogs, and 100 or so Instagram posts, we’ve had a lot of time to reflect on our fifteen-day journey across India. Over 50 Travelers Okay, shortly, we’ll have to stop saying that as I’m looking at my sixtieth birthday approach, and Chuck celebrated that milestone…
