Most likely the most northern commercial date farm in the state of California – this remote ranch is well worth making the trek out to buy delicious dates (some 1,500 trees and 20 varieties). Actor Matthew Modine’s grandmother, Vonola Modine actually planted the first date palms here in the 1920’s entirely from seed. Today the ranch is open to visitors seven days a week – selling a variety of dates, date shakes and numerous souvenirs and other edibles in the shop. Access is on a dirt road that winds its way through a canyon eventually reaching the ranch and passing some of the date palms.

However, the actual name Chicken Noodle Soup entered the popular lexicon when the Campbell Soup Company renamed their “Noodles with Chicken Soup” to “Chicken Noodle Soup” after a radio announcer misread an add for the Camden company’s famous canned soup in the 1930s. It’s difficult for us to picture eating Tomato Soup on its own since the soup’s sweet tomato flavors harmonize so well with the toasty flavors of fried white bread and cheese. The soup’s melange of ingredients, aside from beef or chicken broth, makes the soup feel utterly Chinese.

Equally rich in color and featuring two Italian liquors, both Campari cocktails taste like an Italy in a glass. According to cocktail lore, the Americano was born in the 1860s when Gaspare Campari (yes, that Campari) added soda water to a Milano-Torino cocktail at his bar in Milan. Although mixologists later added gin to create the Negroni in the 20th century, the Campari Americano lives on in both its Italian homeland and around the world. The first step is to peel a strip of peel from an orange and create an orange twist.

If your ideal day includes chilling out on a sun lounger by the beach (Kuta Beach is one of our favorite things to do in Bali), getting a $5 massage before heading out to the bars, and dancing the night away, Kuta could be the perfect place for you to stay.

Walking and biking around town is a fun way to not only explore the city you're visiting, but a sure way of staying fit while travelling. We all have the best intentions of squeezing in a workout later in the day in order to stay fit while travelling. This way of thinking also helps to not waste your “cheat meals”.I typically won’t gorge on the free bread at dinner because I know I’m planning to eat glutenous pasta the next day. Keeping these things in mind ensures I have great energy during my travels, assists in adjusting to time zone changes, takes the guilt out of travel eating, and helps me to continue a healthy lifestyle and feel my best even while abroad.
