Our departure from the U.S. this time included closing the book on one part of our life that has been there since we met. In 2009, long before I met Sue, I bought a very shiny, dark red Saab 93 convertible. It was first my, then our go to car. Sue had a very sensible …

Summer: June and July
Sorry, we've been distracted by friend visits and family matters, but have been in Chicago for a while, with a pit stop in New York. We're in the States for the summer, but need to catch you up on June and July. So, after Steven's birthday, it was my turn. I got a little distracted …
Birthday Time!
Last weekend was Steven's birthday. He likes to downplay it, so we only spent a few days celebrating (totally Sue's choice, I would have just ignored it). We wanted to get together a few of people we met at the wine tasting. In trying to accommodate the other two couples, we ended up with a …
Wine, Walk and Cannons
The weekend came a day early for us. Stephanie—(quick digression, you see that "dash" just to the left? Sue will tell you that it is an em dash, (I will tell you that because it is; this – is an en dash and this - is a hyphen) and I never never never use them …
A Whole Week in a Few Paragraphs
One of our friends asked ChatGPT (or a similar tool) to describe our blog. Apparently it said that we were slow travelers.

Four Years and Counting
It has now been exactly four years since we kicked off The Happy Idiots tour by traveling to catsit for Seuss in Paris. Wow, time flies when you are having fun. We have done so much, seen so many incredible places , learned a few (or maybe a lot) of lessons the hard way and …
Seven years in Blogland
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 …
Just a Quiet Weekend
Friday night, Sue and I went out to a restaurant that we thought was Indian food, but really turned out to be mostly Thai. The food was good, but not what we expected (I guess I hadn't really thought about it, because I was surprised when I read this). We had tried to get reservations …
