Dear Pisa, What is your purpose in life? If it is to lure innocent tourists to see your miniature tower — slightly off kilter — deprive them of good food, a momentum for keep sake and god- forbid a photo opt.. then, congratulations! You have succeeded. p.s. We will NOT be back. Sincerely, GQ Trippin… Read more…
Via San Martino 39 Monterosso, Cinque Terre, Italian Riviera, Italy Just our luck. After one train break down, stranded in the middle of nowhere for several hours, we boarded another train hoping it would be heading towards Monterosso Al Mare – our Cinque Terre stay for the next 3 days. We arrived 3-hours later than… Read more…
I had no idea what was in store for me when we arrived in Cinque Terre. If you think the Italian Riviera is just another part of Italy, you’re in for a big surprise.. food- wise. Turns out, I have a favorite food — Ligurian! Trattoria Bar il Porticciolo | Manarola, Cinque Terre 2009 We… Read more…
We’re back in London! Thank goodness we got most of the touristy site seeing out of the way 3 weeks prior, this time we can at least slow things down a bit. So here it is, our London at-a-glance!

Fair warning, if they sit out for some time, they tend to firm up and become slightly inedible. Gelatos in Florence is… Read more…
Tell you a secret. Rome is home to the best pizza we’ve ever had. (Just don’t ask us where it’s from.) Serious talk. I wish I knew where, but it just happened without warning. I didn’t want to eat in Vatican City but we desperately needed to refuel. You try holding it together after a… Read more…
Look familiar? Neuschwanstein Castle was the inspiration for Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle. Courtesy of our walking tour in Munich, we were tipped to take a day trip to Fussen as a mini getaway from the hustle and bustle that is the World Cup. It was a full day bike/ walk tour– lunch and admission to… Read more…
Sometimes things don’t always go as planned. Perfect. I wouldn’t have it any other way in Munich. Why? 2006 World Cup opening ceremony baby! And we’re just in time — arriving a day before the festivities. Now that’s un- planning at its best. The games will be held at one of the Best Football Stadiums… Read more…
