Traveling and Vacation with Mom - You can Still Have the Best Meal in Town

Vacation with family and friends is quite popular with our family.  Mom love to travel and we always include her in the planning of our trips.  What is great is that no matter what location or Destination you visit for #Vacation - Mom always can whip together some of the best meals.  Often Mom can make the best meal in town and can be challenged with new locations.  Be it from Christmas Cookies or Apple Strudel we are always spoiled by Mom's Wonderful Cooking.

We have been doing the Hawaii Circuit for 30 years and Thanksgiving in Hawaii is quite easy.  Turkey or Ham are easy to find, mom located the yams and apples for Apple Strudel all came together to make the best Holiday Meal.

When in Mexico we had Turkey Tacos and that was a different twist on a Thanksgiving away from home.  Many restaurants offer holiday meals catered to the Tourist visiting from afar.  This is smart to have some great meals on this list to cater to visiting customers.  

Holidays in Europe offer so many different opportunities.  You can go to the Christmas Markets in Germany and find everything you need to make a local cuisine into a masterpiece.  Check out the Christmas Markets http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_market.  If you are in Ireland what a fun time to celebrate any occasion in a Pub. 

Remember when globe trotting you need to know what is going on in the area and just plan around the local festivities and plan some local meals with food from the local markets.  This is a fun way to check out the street fairs and the local offerings at the Flea Markets.  When in Hawaii you will see some of the most beautiful flowers grown locally.  They are amazing.

Happy Travel and remember you are what you eat so make it good.
