I’m a huge fan of Southern food. I grew up on it and can’t get enough of it. Of course much of it isn’t the healthiest food around, but that doesn’t stop me from finding some good fried chicken every few months or checking out a Soul Food restaurant like Weaver Ds. If you are interested [...]
Known as the Peach State, Georgia is a place of diversity. You can spend a day beach combing, back packing or boating as you revel in its beauty.

Carnival Cruise Lines is not stopping at Mexican ports until further notice. Even though I think the scare over the Swine Flu is overblown right now in the U.S. I do think this is a smart precaution. I do wonder how much more this is going to hurt Mexican tourism. Between the increased [...]

I’m just south of Myrtle Beach today exploring the area for new write-ups. When we arrived in Horry County a couple of days ago we noticed a large smoke cloud. Later we learned it was from the forest fire. On Wednesday night we could smell smoke in our hotel room even though we were at least [...]

Georgia cities are filled with parks that offer safe and manicured trails that are perfect for short hikes and walks. The coastal Georgia area offers miles of natural beaches and pristine areas that are [...]
