The small town feel of the historic district of Savannah is a great area to explore on foot. Once we had settled down at our hotel next to Forsyth Park, there was really no need to drive anywhere in the historic district. Walking around we toured the Davenport House and all of the squares of Savannah.
We really enjoyed our meal at the Olde Pink House.

We finally had a chance to get away after a busy spring (and by we, I mean Tang finally had time). Charleston was a great city to visit and enjoy the culture and food. I had not been to the area since I was in my early twenties and didn't have an appreciation for things. We enjoyed our time visiting Magnolia Plantation and exploring the historical parts of the city.
We had several good meals, but the best was at Husk. The Glazed Pig Ear Lettuce Wraps were awesome and house made charcuterie was a generous portion of quality meats.

When you decide to take a trip to the Bahamas less than a month before your December 28th arrival, you are at the mercy of the available accommodations - we made the best of it and enjoyed the diving. Far and away the best food we had was in at Bertha's; a simple beach shack within walking distance from our room.
When we asked for a menu, we were told there was none. "We serve cracked lobster, cracked conch, and chicken." Chicken!?, who orders chicken?!

While the weather may be basically the same in San Francisco all year, I much rather visit during the winter. Minus 5 degrees in Chicago means 60 degrees in San Francisco is awesome, but 85 in Chicago means it's too cold in the Bay Area.
My first trip to San Francisco was in college during our West Coast volleyball trip, but you don't really get to see much when you are traveling with 12 other guys in passenger vans.
It took five years for me to return to the city and get a more in depth tour - not that my girlfriend at the time (now my wife) was the greatest tour guide. Me: "What's that?" Her: "I have no idea."
However, food and restaurants, that is her strong suit. We enjoyed a nice lunch at Water Bar with their oyster happy hour. Dinner at Range was a good meal.

I was never a big traveler until I met my wife; not that I didn't want to, but it just wasn't something our family did a lot of when I was growing up. Most "vacations" were centered around soccer tournaments around the country.
My mom always tried to get us some culture (usually visiting a Civil War site), but like most kids, I did not appreciate it at the time. I guess I could say the same for Spanish class.
During our European trip, I would say I enjoyed Lisbon the most. It was more laid back than Madrid and Barcelona, and getting a great steak at midnight at Café De São Bento was a bonus.

This is the first of many posts of my thoughts and images of my travels. I do not have a timetable for posts or a topic of focus. I will share my thoughts on places I have been and I hope you enjoy.
