  Phusion Grille is a great contemporary/eclectic mix restaurant at Woods Hole, MA - right on the water. We enjoyed a lobster bisque and the tuna sushi over fried wontons for apps. For entrees, Scott got the lamb loin special, and I enjoyed a 1.5 pound lobster in a spicy asian coconut sauce, YUM!

  This was the BEST hotel to stay at in istanbul, Turkey. The staff, service, quality, food, and LAUNDRY service was amazing. We especially loved the view of Hagia Sophia from the rooftop terrace and our room, rm #304.

about

Greetings fellow travelers and foodies! This blog captures all the wonderful journeys I have made so far in my life, before I met my husband and also in the 10+ years I have been with my husband and now baby girl. The earth is a beautiful place and I would like to keep it this way. Traveling is so good for your soul, opening up your eyes to the different people and cultures of this planet but also to realize that we are all still very alike and all want the same things in the end.
