Big Berry Bliss: Glamping Slovenia in the Heart of Bela Krajina
After learning how to make the bread, she popped it into the oven to bake before bringing a tray of shot glasses and what else but homemade rakia! Our lunch of traditional Slovenian food was amazing and everything was homemade by Sonja. She started us off with beef soup with really delicate egg noodles. The main dishes were roasted chicken, a risotto-like buckwheat-mushroom porridge, roasted pork, and cheese struckli - layers of light flaky dough with cheese between the layers.
Food in Lafayette, Louisiana: What to Eat and Where To Savor The Cajun Flavor
Oysters. You either love 'em or hate 'em, and if you love 'em, what's your favorite way to eat 'em? Raw, chargrilled, fried, steamed, or stewed? There are as many great places to eat them in Louisiana as there are ways to top them. One of the strangest and yet so wonderful experiences a foodie (or boozie) can have in Lafayette is the beloved Daiquiri-To-Go, a phenomenon as simple as it sounds.
McMenamins Forest Grove: Jerry Garcia is Alive and Well at the Grand Lodge Hotel in Oregon
There are 90 guest rooms in the Grand Lodge with whimsical artwork giving each room it's own distinct personality. Names of former residents adorn the doors of the rooms along the first floor hallway. There's a bit more of this on the second floor but some rooms have different titles like "The Lavender Room".
A First Timers Guide to Key West: Must-Sees and Hidden Gems in Florida's Conch Republic
The easiest way to get to Key West is by plane. Many commercial carriers have connections to Key West and the city airport is modern. Plenty of taxis wait outside the terminal so getting to your hotel is easy and inexpensive. If you have the time and desire you can drive. Key West is 165 miles from Miami on US1, about 3 hours and 45 minutes on a good day. But be warned - traffic can be downright brutal and 3 hours can easily turn into twice that.

Foodie Florida: 10 Unique Places To Eat in Tallahassee
Our recent Gulf Coast Road Trip that wound through coastal towns in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Florida presented us with more unique local foods and experiences than we ever expected. We ate sea-to-table oysters in Gulf Shores, moon pies and neon pink hot dogs in Mobile, and boudin balls in Lafayette, to name just a few. And as we headed back to our home state of Florida, the landscape - and the food - started to change.

Mamma Mia! 12 Foodie Things to Do in Bologna Even Nonna Would Love
No one does Happy Hour like Italians, unless you're on a cruise somewhere and don't care about starting your happiness before it's 5 o'clock somewhere. Otherwise, you're good to go in Italy every day around 6:00pm, so get in the spirit. The work day in Bologna begins winding down in late-afternoon, when the chairs and tables come out and friends start to gather for Aperitivo.
CHECKING IN: Tarpon Lodge: A Taste of Old Florida & Life Along Pine Island Sound
Driving onto Pine Island is like stepping back in time to Old Florida. There’s still just one way on and one way off this largest of Florida’s barrier islands, passing through the tiny fishing hamlet of Matlacha with its funky shops, galleries, and open air bars, then over a draw bridge - affectionately nicknamed “The World’s Fishingest Bridge”.
Exploring Florida's River of Grass: Awesome Things to Do in the Everglades
The Native Americans who lived here called it Pa-hay-Okee which means "into grassy waters." In 1947, writer Marjory Stoneman Douglas created another well known name for the Florida Everglades in her famous book Everglades: River of Grass.
Things to Do in Gainesville, FL: (Hint) So Much More Than the Florida Gators!
If you're a fan of America's southern football, you may know Gainesville, Florida as I did -- home of the University of Florida and the Florida Gators. But after a recent visit there, I was kind of blown away with all the cool things this university town has to offer. With its charming southern downtown and distinctly diverse feel, there are so many things to do in Gainesville no matter what your taste, budget, or affinity to football.
Gainesville Food Tour: A Mouth-Watering Intro to the Best of Gainesville, Florida
The Gainesville Food Tour is a perfect introduction to the awesome food scene in Gainesville and Alachua County. Walking gives you a good overview of the historic downtown and ideas for additional eateries you'll want to try before you leave. The dishes at each stop were plentiful - not just a bite - and whet your appetite to come back and sample more of the menu. Tour tickets cost $55 USD which is a good value for the food tastings, info, and overall food experience.
San Gimignano, Tuscany: Why You Should Eat, Play & Stay Longer Than a Day
We recommend you rent a car and enjoy the drive. The distance from Florence to San Gimignano is around 60 km from the airport and takes about an hour. (Add link to Driving in Tuscany article). Depending on your budget, and whether or not you’d be comfortable driving in Italy, there are of course other ways of getting there, but we love the freedom of driving and staying late. You can also take a bus at Busitalia SITA Nord Autostazione next to the train station in Florence.
Discover Italy Through These Authentic Slow Travel Tuscany Experiences
When it comes to traveling, we have a thing for authenticity. Travelers don't want manufactured tourism - the kind that doesn't relate to an area's culture or feels out of context for a place - it can even make you uncomfortable. Travelers today are looking for a deeper, more meaningful connection to the places they visit when they travel.
Podere Il Casale: A Pecorino Toscano Cheese Tour in Pienza Italy
Taking a food tour in Italy is like discovering the secrets behind some of the world's most tantalizing cuisine. If you love Italian food (and who doesn't), food and wine tours in Italy are a great way to go deeper than just eating great Italian food - to learning how it's made and the tradition behind it. We've taken several food tours in Bologna and loved them, especially one we did in the historic city, and another in the gastronomic region north of Bologna.
