Ever since we were little girls we have loved water and then somewhere in our early twenties we both began to try snorkeling. That minor change in our water sport interests has entailed a fortune in travel expenses and "resort wear" necessities, but we bravely snorkel on in search of the next best reef!

Places we’ve loved: Kangaroo Island, Australia
When we began to plan our trip to Australia, Brunette - who has a ready mental to-do list in her head for at least 123 countries - announced that we had to go to Kangaroo Island.

Why won’t Sydney Warden leave Blonde alone?
[slideshow]B&B are planning a trip to Barcelona, Menorca and Girona for next month. In a rare instance of Blonde being the responsible party she completed the laborious process of registering the trip with the U.S. State Department's STEP program. The voluntary program is ostensibly to ensure that in case of a political event or natural disaster the State Department will … [Read more...]
