More On Food To Go
Posted by Noemi as Family, Food and Drink, Tips
In my last post, I talked about packing up a huge picnic basket in order to provide food for the whole family while on the go. Here are more ideas for you to consider as you prepare for the long road trip.
Essential Considerations 
-Mess-free eating. This means no food like jelly, toffee, and other sticky gooey stuff. Kids may love these kinds of food but they are not a good idea when you are in the car. Also avoid food that spill – soup – and food that may leave lots of crumbs in the car. Finger foods are great for snacking, too. Think of …

Food For Kids on the Go
Posted by Noemi as Family, Food and Drink, Tips
Going on road trips is always fun, never mind the slight difficulties you may face when cooped up in the car for so long. One thing you always have to have, though, is food – and plenty of it. Kids love to eat, any parent would know that. One thing that would make your road trip more fun and less boring for the children would be to pack up a picnic basket and stop “impulsively” at a public park, an open field, or any place where you can set up your picnic.
Think about it, having a huge stock of food and stopping in scenic places along the way will add to the …

A-Maze-Ing Corn!
Posted by Camica as Adventure, Around The World, Destinations, Eco-Friendly, Events, Family, Food and Drink, Nature
Last week, I suggested visiting a corn maze for a Halloween treat. It’s a great outing for a family, especially because it has something for everyone. A corn maze isn’t just fun, it’s educational too, and all at a very affordable cost, since most mazes just charge a modest fee. And you don’t have to go far, you can find a corn maze (especially this season) just about anywhere.
The fun in a corn maze is a-maze-ing (pardon the pun). Your kids will surely be wowed at the pictures the corn mazes depict. There are dinosaurs, pirates, scarecrows and even a depiction of …

The Town That Chocolate Built
Posted by Camica as Destinations, Events, Family, Food and Drink, United States
For chocoholics like me, the town of Hershey’s is a Mecca for chocolate lovers.
And this coming Halloween should give you the perfect excuse to visit the town that was built by chocolate. Hershey’s town is more than just a chocolate factory, it’s already a resort destination filled with great family entertainment. It has a world-class theme park,
HERSHEYPARK, that’s home to over 60 rides and attractions. For daddies, there’s the Hershey Country Club with 36 holes of golf, and a chocolate spa for mom. Kids will go wild at ZOOAMERICA, and experience nature at the botanical garden. There’s also Historic Trolley Tours and the Hershey Museum, …

The Sweet Life
Posted by Camica as Around The World, Events, Family, Festivals, Food and Drink
Trick or Treat…Give us something good to eat! What’s Halloween without the candy? Halloween is supposed to be spooky and frightening, but for the little kids, it’s all about the sweets they’ll get. More than the costumes, more than the stories, kids look forward to the one day they’re given the license to run around asking for candy. It really doesn’t matter if they get to eat all of the candies, what’s important is the fun they’ll get running around collecting those candies. This Halloween, you can kill two birds with one stone by making the trip to buy candies for the trick or …

Halloween’s Harvest
Posted by Camica as Eco-Friendly, Events, Family, Festivals, Food and Drink, Nature, Travelogger
When I think of October’s harvest, the things that come to mind are pumpkin and apples. For me, apples and pumpkins have become synonymous with Halloween. What child hasn’t tried bobbing for apples, or received candy apples as a treat? Everybody in the family enjoys a nice, warm glass of apple cider, especially after coming in from trick or treating. And Halloween decorations aren’t complete without a jack-o-lantern. That’s why I’d recommend apple and pumpkin picking as an activity the whole family will enjoy. It’s a fun, outdoor (healthy!) activity that’s easy on your budget. You won’t even need to travel far; you can search the internet …

October’s Treats
Posted by Camica as Events, Family, Food and Drink, Historical, Nature, People, Tips
October is one of my favorite months. Not only is it the month of Halloween and Trick or Treating, it’s also the prelude to the whole holiday season, culminating in every kid’s favorite month, December. October became more special when I became a mom and started buying in to all that Halloween hype. Usually, by the first week of October, I’m already racking my brains trying to come up with a killer costume (pun intended) for my kids. If you want to experience the whole Halloween fun, there’s a lot more to do than just trick or treating.
• Enjoy the fall harvest. Now’s your last chance to get your pick of fresh vegetables and fruits. …

Roll Out The Barrels!
Posted by Camica as Around The World, Arts & Culture, Events, Festivals, Food and Drink
For my husband, the one word that comes to mind when October comes along is Oktoberfest. It’s his idea of heaven, and if he could go to Munich, Germany for that event, he wouldn’t think twice about it. This 14-day festival is world-renowned, not only for the beer and the activities, but also for the celebrities that participate in the revelry. With the traditional words “O’zapft is!” (translation: the barrel has been tapped), the world’s largest beer festival begins. This year, the festival is expected to attract about six million beer drinkers all over the world. But for those who want to make this …

Food and Wine Across America
Posted by Hannah Grace as Americas, Food and Drink, Gourmet, Tips, United States, Website
Last time I wrote about Food an Wine’s Go List. The Go List consists of 335 of the best places to eat all over the world. As exhaustive as the list is though I’m pretty sure that they missed some equally excellent restaurants. After all we can’t expect the staff of F&W to be able to visit all the restaurants in the world. The good news for American gourmands and tourists planning to visit America is that Food and Wine has an even more exhaustive list of places all over the country where you can find good eats.

Sep|23|2007 Posted by Hannah Grace as Around The World, Food and Drink, Gourmet, Tips, Website If you understand what I’m saying then finding a worthy place to eat is as important as finding all the tourist attractions in the area. One of the easiest, and a favorite way of mine, to find out the best place to eat is by visiting Food and …
Food and Wine: Go List 2007
Who says that traveling is all about the sights and sounds? Anyone who loves great food knows that a good trip includes at least one great meal. No. That wasn’t right. It includes one excellent unforgettable meal. After you’ve forgotten the name of the streets you’ve visited the taste of that one glorious meal still lingers in your memory.
