Growing up, anytime I asked my father why I had to do something I was told, his reply was, "Because I said so." So in the spirit of all self-proclaimed authorities out there, I name my blog in your honor. My disclaimer is this, I am not a travel authority or a culinary expert or a wine connoisseur. My passion for all things related to travel, food and friends is my only credibility (and perhaps my 20+ years of tourism marketing) . The rest, as they say, is because I said so.
