Mr Romance 
Chicago isn’t like San Diego. Of course it’s not! What a stupid thing to say! However, I did notice there were a few places in the Windy City that valued an individual’s right to enjoy a good cigar. While Mrs Romance was busy learning at the 2013 BlogHer Conference, I decided to have some fun … Read more
I’ve been looking forward to seeing Chicago for ages. Ever since my mate Anton came here and told me about their special pizzas a few years ago. What we find here is one of the most interesting, friendly, easy to-get-to-know cities we’ve visited. I’m also a bit of a mug for cities with rivers running … Read more

Why is she … Read more

Last weekend saw Mrs Romance and me zoom off the edge of the digital map and away from all things Net-based. We were visiting friends in a little town in rural New South Wales called Putty. In this oddly named little town of no more than 200 people, there was no 3G, our phones had … Read more
Typical of all good Melbourne finds, the Cosmopolitan Hotel is tucked away down a side street. A block or two back from the St Kilda coastline, The Cosmo peeps round the corner at you and beckons to you like a cheeky Shakespearean sprite. We were happy we followed the sprite’s bidding – the hotel ticks … Read more
How much fun was our 30 Cocktails in 30 Days Challenge? No, really. I’m asking because I can’t remember. Just kidding. It was a lot of fun, and Mrs Romance and I have learnt a lot about working together so closely on this project. The final outcome – our book ‘How to Host the Perfect … Read more
