Food is often said to be the gateway to understanding a culture. While we aren’t foodies and our trips don’t revolve solely around food, we do love trying out some of the traditional and iconic foods from the destinations we visit. We’ve been on plenty...
OK, I have a confession to make—I’ve mentioned it briefly before, but I have a mild…well, I guess some may call it a full-blown obsession with the 90’s TV Show, Saved By The Bell. I literally watched it every day after school for years (at...
