Share Our Strength Culinary Events: Taste of the Nation, Dine Out, and the NYC Food and Wine Festival
02/08/2015 by
Usually my research leads me to the latest travel trends, the best beaches or the newest theme park rides (that is, when it isn’t sending me off to cute puppy pictures and amazing online shopping opportunities). Sometimes, though, it takes me down an entirely different path. It all began with Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville (which probably […]
Walt Disney Parks to Enhance Access to EpiPen Auto-Injectors
12/05/2014 by
As a parent, I’m thankful that I don’t have to worry about food allergies – or any other type of allergy, for that matter. I can’t imagine the stress and worry that parents of children with severe allergies must go through, especially when traveling. Many theme parks have implemented special menus and created alternate choices […]
Black Friday and Cyber Monday Caribbean Island Travel Deals
11/25/2014 by
I am not one of those people that will be rushing out at 2:00 a.m. to snag all of the great Black Friday deals. Nope, I’m more of a lay-in-bed-until-10-and-then-drink-hot-chocolate kind of person. You won’t find me in a store on Black Friday. And if you do, call the police because I’ve probably been kidnapped. […]

Celebrate Your Super Disney Side with a Walt Disney World Vacation in 2014
02/13/2014 by
My favorite Super Bowl ad is always the one where some revered player says “I’m going to Disney World! (or Land as the case may be). The folks at Disney sure know what they’re doing because that is always the time of year that I most want to be in a Disney park or resort. […]

Half Shell Raw Bar, Key West, Makes Cover of Kenny Chesney single ‘When I See This Bar’
08/26/2013 by
Laid-back beach bars, island locations and good music always seem to go hand in hand. If anything can bring it home even more, and toss in an artistic touch, it is an artist/performer like Kenny Chesney. A Key West establishment that sings of the images and feelings evoked in many of Chesney’s songs has just […]
