After 5 weeks in Spain Blonde and Brunette were fairly bedraggled. We'd had a wonderful time but had also had many frustrations, not every single one of which was our fault. Maybe. We had arranged to exchange Blonde's condo in Boston for both a condo in Spain on the lovely Costa Brava and a home, from the same family, in Madrid. We knew the home in Madrid was in the suburbs … [Read more...]
Sushi for (some) one in Marco Island, Florida
Many days the thought of coming up with new content for the blog is so taxing that the stress can only be alleviated by consuming chocolate and wine. Today our blog topic was figuratively dropped into our laps and literally dropped into our swimming pool. The way to recognize that good fortune turned out to also be with chocolate and wine but with a celebratory, not consoling, … [Read more...]
NASCAR here we don’t come!
[slideshow]Prior to our recent trip to Barcelona Blonde and Brunette decided to line up some activities that would be both enjoyable to do and fun for our readers to hear about. This post is about one that did not fall into the "enjoyable to do" category so we hope it at least qualifies for the "fun to hear about" one. Using Viator we booked the Barcelona Guided GPS Go-Car … [Read more...]

It’s Saturday night – rent this party bus!
B&B saw this saucy, tempting party bus for rent along the main drag in Willemstad, Curacao. At first we imagined that the poles themselves danced or that people of Polish descent were the dancers, but then we finally got it. The sign; not the bus. Wonder if that air conditioning unit affects the gas mileage? How can we get invited to a party in this bus? Is there enough … [Read more...]
A trap to keep pests out of your panties!
Blonde just made a run to Whole Foods and was quite shocked to see this product on their shelves. She saw it and her brain read "Panty Pest Traps". Wow - great idea but don't you usually wants pests out of your panties, not trapped in them? (Although it's happened more than once.) Then she saw that it was about keeping moths out of your panties and thought it was being marketed … [Read more...]
How do you like your chicken chest? Striped?
One day B&B stopped in Lucca for lunch, found a lovely restaurant with an outdoor patio, sat down and were given this menu. We, particularly Blonde, started to laugh until we were crying when we read the menu. Remember: The waiter was not amused. He was even less amused to have the menu be photographed . Can't please everyone! Remember: This is not an etiquette or … [Read more...]
