Travel Excellence

We've been talking about having a travel blog for a while. Even though our vacations are Totally Awesome (TM) it's not really so we can tell everyone how super we are. (Though we are, indeed, super.)

We have a lot of friends who travel to really fabulous locations that the average bear wouldn't necessarily consider and we are hoping that we can use this as a forum for our peeps to post fun ideas and experiences and give each other feedback. Like a Trip Advisor but for Awesome People only. And if you want to go somewhere and you see someone has commented about it, please ask us if they have the same travel taste. Some people like to be uber active and others not so much, etc. We hope it'll prove to be a fun forum.

And the name. Now that I think of it, I think the story really wont be as funny to other people as it will be to us. When we were in Argentina for our honeymoon we stayed at The Most Amazing Hotel: Llao Llao (it will get it's own post someday). Oddly, at this super fancy hotel their English language spa brochure was alarmingly Asian-sounding (as in bizarrely translated for those who think I am simply offensive.) There was a facial whose title was just Facial Excellence and it was all about achieving facial excellence. So it became our running honeymoon joke - we have to achieve dining excellence, sleeping excellence, etc., etc. Yeah, you had to be there.

So, let's see if we can all achieve Travel Excellence! Woo!

Welcome to the blogosphere! I look forward to many pictures, posts, and--here's hoping--rants from the both of you.

Yesssssssss! I am so psyched you are blogging. I was just looking at my google reader the other day (and all the unread posts) thinking that I needed to add something new and far more amusing :-) And here you are!
