Today marks seven years since we started our blog and to “celebrate” that anniversary we pulled out our old school method of planning a trip Morocco - we were so young in 2017! Our first trip together was prior to this blog, we took a three week trip to Morocco. Sue found some super cheap …
We seem to have fallen into a routine in our blogs where we talk about what is happening now or has just happened. I thought I would take time to give you some insights into how we decide to go places, why we pick them and how much effort we (read mostly Sue) spends figuring …
I have been somewhat of a hiatus from the blogosphere. Sue has been doing all the heavy lifting of keeping our blog up to date and all of you informed of our travels. I am deeply grateful that she has been shouldering that burden, but the time has come for me to do some scribbling …

Happy July 4th to all our American readers. As Sue said in the last post, we wrapped up our eating fest in Chicago and headed down to Houston to visit Sue’s middle brother. Our three-hour flight to Houston took us a couple of hours longer than expected because we sat on the runway in Chicago …
What happens when you go home after a year of COVID in a new state whose cuisine doesn't exactly excite (if you could go get it anyway?) Foodganza! Here's a rundown of the restaurants we hit. Not all in Evanston, but pretty close. It's been a whirlwind, so I may have them out of order, …
