    These are the best breakfast burritos in LA

    Breakfast burritos are glorious – and LA has almost too many of them.  Someone has to sacrifice their health for the incredibly important Breakfast Burrito Quest, so once again, I’ve sorted the great ones from not-as-great ones (because, let’s be honest, all breakfast burritos are pretty good). You’re welcome. Here are my obvious and inarguable criteria for the perfect breakfast burrito: It needs to taste breakfast-y, which means eggs. A top tier breakfast burrito can’t taste like lunch – that would be anarchy. It needs proper ingredient distribution. The first bite is crucial – don’t give me a mouthful of just beans or guac. The corollary to this rule is…

    Take a day trip to the Elephant Nature Park in Chang Mai

    Years ago, Mike went to visit the Elephant Nature Park during his trip through Thailand. Here’s why you should go there too… There are about twenty different elephant experiences within an hour or so of Chiang Mai. They run the spectrum from very-elephant-friendly to downright cruel. The worst feature circus shows and pile clumps of tourists on the over-worked elephants (even the Frommer’s guide has a photo of people riding elephants) — and the nicest of concierges have no idea why visitors would even have an issue about this. I’m no PETA activist, but I couldn’t have enjoyed myself if I thought I was helping mistreat elephants. So after some…

    From sobremesas to so much cheese: The 12 things I learned about Buenos Aires

    Mike traveled to Buenos Aires a little while back. These are excerpts from the journal he kept while there… It’s 9:45 on a Sunday morning in November, and Buenos Aires is a ghost town. Guess this can be expected when everyone stays out until 5 am, which apparently is the norm on a Saturday night. I’m sitting a cafe right out of what I imagined Buenos Aires to be… and when the friendly waitress walks over, I’m reminded for the fifth time in five straight encounters: I don’t speak Spanish. (It’s as if 15 minutes of Rosetta Stone for a single month isn’t enough to master a language!) I order…

    The awesome hotels and best restaurants in Cartagena (that we discovered by accident)

    We took a last-minute trip to Cartagena when we found out we couldn’t fly from Bogota to Costa Rica without a yellow fever vaccine. No worries, we re-routed ourselves to the gorgeous town of Cartagena, Colombia and found some amazing places to stay, and sampled from some of the best restaurants in Cartagena! Keep reading if you want to know more about where to stay and where to eat…

    #Morocstars: Our quick and mind-blowing Marrakech food tour

    After our seven hour flight from New York to Casablanca, Megan slept on a couch in the lounge with her head in my lap, as I balanced my laptop on one leg and looked up the pronunciation of “Djemaa el-Fna.” Then we took a quick flight to Marrakech. For those curious, neither of us slept much on our flights, but now we can relax a bit in our hotel, before Megan gets dental work at Djemaa el-Fna square!! Time to look up how to pronounce “can that monkey drill a cavity out?”
