Email This PostCalling in sick from work in Orlando? I’d suggest you spend the day in Mount Dora.
It started with an idea. If you were to call in sick this summer, where in Central Florida would you go? We asked for your input, you voted on your favorite, and that’s where we went: Mount Dora.
Together with Bess Auer from Orlando Travel & Event site, Central Florida Top 5, we planned to spend the day in Mount Dora, to check out how to make the best of your sick day. And while Bess called me that morning to say she had some surprise personal business to attend to, Brian and I continued on our adventure. We’ll connect with Bess again in the future.

Sitting in an auto dealers waiting room isn’t really good for anything except wasting time. But on Saturday, through serendipity I heard on the television that the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile was going to be in Orlando. Now, with 3,000 more miles to go before I needed to sit in that dreaded, shredded, paddingless chair, I charted a course to one of America’s most beloved icons.
Where is the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile?
That’s the question I’ve asked myself many times. Along with the hamburger, I’d say the Oscar Mayer hot dog is America’s culinary gift to the world. Since 1936 this 65mph hot dog has traveled America’s highways and byways. If you’re lucky, perhaps you’ll pass it driving along the road.

Email This PostWhat is Bunny Chow?
Let’s start with the most obvious question. Bunny Chow is not made from bunnies. It’s a traditional Indian Dish found in Durban. Bunny chow is made from hollowing out a portion of a loaf of bread and filling it with a curried inside. While disagreements exist as to the origin of the recipe and name, all that matters is that you should taste a “Bunny” ( as it is often referred to), if you make a trip to Durban, South Africa.

Email This PostOne of the lingering questions I’ve always had when I talk with South Africans is, “what does it feel like to drive through your country and see all this poverty, all the time?”.
And I think I’ve found the answer. After seeing it all the time myself, you become desensitized. But yesterday I was reminded how desperate the lives some people lead. Here’s what happened…
When I first arrived in South Africa, my jaw would drop at the tin shacks and people doing whatever they could to make money (selling car chargers and sunglasses at every street intersection). But now, after seeing so much, I can understand why so many South Africans ignore the issue. It’s just too much. It’s overwhelming.
