Goldilocks steps The secret to improving your life is finding a small step you can actually do. A journey of a thousand miles starts beneath one’s feet —Lao Tzu While we all know this is true, we often have a problem taking that first step. Some steps seem too big, too scary, or require things […]
I ran across an interesting dessert-and-drinks restaurant in Orlando a couple of weeks ago while roaming the internet. It’s called Better Than Sex Dessert Restaurant! We made reservations for that Friday night. That Friday afternoon, I received a text asking me to confirm… Please confirm your reservation for Better Than Sex Orlando tonight by texting […]
Google maps and Waze will both default to I-95 if you’re traveling north from Daytona, or south from Jacksonville. We’re going to tell you one of the best reasons to avoid I-95 and take A1A instead. It’s Hidden Gem #22, the Turtle Shack Cafe in Flagler Beach, Florida… and it’s likely you haven’t heard about […]
Sometimes you stumble on a great place right in your own backyard and then wonder how you’ve missed it all this time. Nic & Luc’s Scratch Kitchen was like that for us. We were hungry for brunch on a rainy Saturday morning. Instead of hitting our usual spot we decided to try a place that […]
It was time to visit Michael’s Restaurant in our quest for a romantic getaway in St. Augustine, Florida. This highly rated restaurant is a favorite of couples looking for a romantic dinner. We were ready to put it to the test. As we’d been to Collage the night before, the bar had been set pretty […]

We had the best date night at the Central Park Holiday Lights in Lake Mary, Florida! Central Park is next to some very nice little restaurants. We’re in love with the menu and food at Lonnie’s Fusion Cuisine so we stopped in there first for dinner. Lonnie’s is a fairly small place, with only five […]
One of our favorite places to spend a romantic Saturday morning is the Winter Park Farmers’ Market. It’s a positively wonderful way to start the weekend. Last Saturday morning, we packed up our market basket and a couple of hats and headed out. However, we do aim for getting there before 10 o’clock as it […]
I was drawn to the Hotel Novecento by the photos of its beautiful rooms when I searched online for lodging in Venice, Italy. While we stayed there, I was impressed by their attentive but unobtrusive service. The Italian Air Traffic Controllers called a strike the day that we were to arrive in Venice. Once our […]
After spending four nights in a smaller boutique hotel in Venice, the Hotel della Signoria (HDS) in Florence was a big shift. For one, HDS has an elevator, a convenience that our knees greatly appreciated. Though it’s a small elevator, and the sign says that it can accommodate six people, we joked just how they […]
