Once in a life time wasn't enough...
Eddie and I wish we could have something really profound to say about us or our lives which would summarize who we are, but we are not writers by any stretch of the imagination. Our story is pretty simple. We have been together for 15 years and live just outside of San Francisco. We are a double income no kids couple who loves food, entertaining, and hanging out. We're not sure how it evolved, but we know we enjoy the challenges of vagabonding. Our first long-term adventure started in Feb 2003. We living out of one bag each as we explored Europe, Mexico, and SE Asia. It was a good two years! In 2008, we found ourselves in a position which allowed us to do it again. So here we are without formalized travel plans... Stick around
