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…

  • Food is a major component of any trip. I remember a good restaurant as much as I do a great beach or an amazing sight.
  • Let's be honest here.

    Member Melissa Solin writes in her blog post on her trip Cairo that her favorite experience was the traditional Egyptian meal. In a country with pyramids, ruins, museums, and fascinating culture, that's a pretty strong statement (must've been one heck of a meal!).

  • Sitting in a bucket of ice for about 4 hours. I realize this isn't really the proper temperature for it but on a really hot day like today, that's what I'm looking for...a white wine that will hold up to a really low temp.
  • Hi Darryl, What do you mean by an "extremely well-chilled chardonnay?"
  • It's another Cocktail Hour on The World on Wheels. Today, it's around 110 degrees on the patio so we extol the virtues of an extremely well-chilled chardonnay: http://tinyurl.com/2d54225
