Okay I know the title is a rip off of a Bravo T.V. show but hey mimicry is a form of flattery right? Now where as the show traveled from country to country I don't quite have that luxury so instead I'm sticking around here in New Jersey (or the east coast, or America, or the world who knows?) and finding all the whole in the wall restaurants to feed my belly. The show had it easy, I mean when your in a country all the food is authentic but try and find a true AUTHENTIC restaurant ain't a walk in the park. I mean in Bangkok the authentic Mexican restaurant I use to hit up included nachos with cheese sauce, so much for authentic. With recommendations from others, the help of google and sheer determination ... read more

On our first ever visit to Cape May we’re wondering why we never came to this New Jersey beach community with a Victorian flair before! The southern tip of New Jersey is less than 6 hours from our Saratoga County, NY home even considering that RVs with a Jeep in tow can slow one down. We like to find new routes for our road trips to Florida and this three night stop was ideal. Cape May’s many highlights include sweet Victorian architecture, dripping gingerbread from porches, eaves, rooflines, and cupolas from the tiniest cottage to huge historic hotels; a hundred gas street lights for delightful strolling in the evening; miles and miles of sandy beaches; and, even for the non-shopper, quaint boutiques and galleries. Day #1 We set up camp at Seashore Campsites, 720 Seashore Road. ... read more

I've been back in America for two and a half months now and what better time to return to America than summer time! It has been a great summer, filled with fun events, fabulous weather and a journey around the world right here in Ocean/Monmouth County. The sad fact is traveling has had to be put on hold for the moment and working, really working, has taken over. This isn't to shabby, I stay busy and have a fun job, but I can't deny the pull to go out on yet another adventure. So to rectify this problem I have joined forces with my mom, brother and friend to travel the world via food! Has it become obvious how much I love food as of the last couple of entries? Well I really do love food ... read more

Today was going to be my first time flying without having someone I know with me and, being that I'm a nervous flyer, I choose a 7hr 30min flight, great! Anyway it all worked out ok in the end as this lovely Scottish lady was sitting next to me on the flight and she too didnt like flyng and so it helped with take off as I had someone to talk to and it distracted me. I was also spolit for film choice and watched Taken 2, Oz: The Great and Powerful and the Hobbit. I needed to get a taxi to my friends apartment after arriving safely at Newark Liberty International Aiport, New Jersey. I was greeted by a guy that I thought was a taxi driver and he took me to a pick up ... read more
