In years gone by I would pick travel destinations based on some factor other than the local cuisine. One day it occurred to me that hey, I could actually travel to a destination because of the food and not have the food be an accessory to the trip. What a revelation! Suddenly I was planning vacations to destinations that had restaurants, farms, and purveyors of excellent goods. Even the simplicity of an island vacation changed for me.

I recall my first intentional vacation to Napa Valley. My head was so spun around by the food culture that I knew I had to move to CA.

That is such a beautiful story! I was more the type to just up and go. No reservations, no planning haha. *Sigh* It's been a good 7 years since I've done that kind of travelling around, at least for more than a weekend at a time (which is still quite enjoyable) . Maybe I will get back into it *smiles*
