2011 was a wonderful year full of traveling to exotic places both near and far. We thought it would be fun to put together a quick video look at the places we've seen. Take a look and let us know what you think.

We love the holidays and one of our favorite things about the holidays is the music. I'm fairly certain we have just about every holiday song in existence. As always we added a few more to our collection this year.

We all like to bring home souvenirs from the places we visit--bottles of wine from Bordeaux, emeralds from Rio, cutting-edge electronics from Tokyo. As a food-lover, my favorite souvenirs are foodstuffs from my travels. Unfortunately, many edibles from abroad aren't welcome when you return to your home country.

"Healthy eating" goes beyond making nutritious food choices. Over and above, healthy eating incorporates eating food that is safe to consume and won't get you sick.

This October, my husband and I traveled to India. As we told friends and family about the journey, we heard one mantra over and over: "You're going to get sick." This prophecy came from all quarters--folks who seldom leave their home state to seasoned world travelers to our guidebooks.
