Hawaii makes chocolate - and it´s delicious!

Original Hawaiian Chocolate Factory When you come to the Aloha State, go beyond the mai tais and and enjoy some divine, locally grown chocolate! The Hawaiian islands are home a number of chocolate-making companies, and most are bean-to-bar businesses. Hawaii is the only U.S. state which grows cacao, then processes and makes it into bars and other cocoa products. I've done my share of eating chocolates on the different islands, and I find the chocolate confections not overly sweet and…

Its cuisine is cited as one of "5 Reasons Why Colombia Is Among the World´s most Appealing Destinations"

Pierrick Lemaret,Colombia's location and varied environments - from coastal to mountain to rainforest to rolling plains - as well as ethnic heritage including pre-columbian, Spanish, and African, give the country's cuisine a flavourful depth indeed. That includes ingredients that might be unfamiliar to visitors, such as the fruits arazá, dragon fruit, lulo (aka naranjilla), passionfruit, and soursop, as well as fish like the freshwater bocachico and gamitama (related to the piranha).Some of the…

Thanks for the interest in our St. Louis and Cincinnati legs of our Midwest Baseball Tour. Now it's time to put the Gateway City behind us as we head into the final stretch. Today, on The World on Wheels, we get some presidential history, eat some great barbecue, and visit some Kansas City landmarks as we get ready for our last baseball game: http://tinyurl.com/2d2r82u

It's game time in St. Louis. We finish up the St. Louis leg of the Midwest Baseball Tour by taking in a game at Busch Stadium and having some frozen custard. It's online right now with a new report, new pictures, and video at The World on Wheels. Let's Play Ball! - http://tinyurl.com/23zoh7t

My friend Claudine Hemingway Knapp has recently written a small Guide to French Cuisine using the Tour De France as an organising theme see http://tinyurl.com/2dodyvg

Anil - I've experimented a lot with different rums and juices. I look forward to seeing what you come up with. I use lime a lot because I like the taste better than lemon.

Darryl: Have you tried using Dark rum and some native fruit juices ? You used limeade, and amaretto. I just picked up some Don Q rum last week from Puerto Rico - I will experiment and report back.

One of our best trips was when the hotel gave away our accessible room and had no choice except to upgrade us to the Presidential Suite. It's another trip to the Big Apple, today on The World on Wheels: http://tinyurl.com/2unyw8o
