We had 6 hours to kill today in Singapore and decided to do something we haven’t allowed ourselves to do in quite a while: go to the movies. We all know how expensive going to the theatre can be, and for a couple who are trying to save money, it’s a big no-no. So, it was [...]

We're now taking that idea on an extended round-the-world trip. Follow us as we share the good, the bad and the downright nasty of life on the road.
