THE WORLD, À LA CARTE
For those of us who can’t imagine experiencing a new place any way but food first, we’re in luck. Michelin, the bible of epicureans on the go for over 100 years, now offers foodies a new way to eat, drink and sleep their way around the planet. For travellers’ with twin appetites for great food and one-of-a-kind experiences, they’ve launched a new culinary travel series, Michelin Food and Travel.

Michelin Food & Travel experiences are wholly customizable, but here’s a few sample itinerary highlights to whet your appetite:

Discover France, a leading specialist in cycling and hiking vacations throughout France, offers self-guided trips to France that feature unique itineraries and NEW Garmin GPS personal navigation systems for all tours in 2010.
The cycling and hiking routes chosen by Discover France Adventures offer the opportunity to explore the culture, architecture, and gastronomy in the region of your choice while the new GPS units will provide additional support throughout the tour so that getting off the route is virtually impossible.
Self-guided travel is a growing trend due to the flexibility it presents and the extraordinary price that accompanies it. With extras like the Garmin Dakota GPS, self-guided cyclists and hikers visiting France get the perfect combination of support and independence. The Garmin Dakota GPS are small and easy to carry, feature an easy to read screen (even in the sun), background maps, and more.

I love traveling and reading, so one of my favorite perks of a walking tour with The Wayfarers is the reading list they send along with their info-packed booking kits.
As you may remember, I loved, loved, loved my first Wayfarers walk in Provence last May (you can read my article, here ) and, now totally addicted, I’m headed off again with them September 25 - October 6, 2009 for a walk in the Dordogne region of France.
In preparation, I’m stocking up on their recommended books for the journey and in case you want to travel along, I’ve added the following featured selection to the Great Reads section of The Travel Store at EllenBarone.com powered by Amazon. Or you can click straight thru from the slideshow below to order.
