SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – This island offers so many visual treats – gorgeous beaches, rugged hills, beautiful churches and majestic historic forts – that dining becomes a virtual afterthought. A hunk of meat or fish, some sides of mofongo (fried mashed plantains) and mamposteao (rice and beans with other goodies), a stiff rum drink and you’re good to go, right?

TUCSON, Ariz. – For the past decade, I’ve headed to Arizona in midwinter to visit family and catch a respite from cold weather. Each year, as I leave its warm, dry air to return to my snowy home, I’m told, “You really should come when the desert is in bloom. It’s spectacular.”

Kenosha, Wis. has three museums. One explores the Civil War, one features the arts and sciences, and the third looks into dinosaurs.

Rabbit Club offers an impressive beer list

Delta delights: Southern cooking marinated in history

GLACIER NATIONAL PARK – Jagged peaks, a lucky glimpse of a bear or moose, and, of course, glaciers – these sights are just the tip of the iceberg at Glacier National Park in northwestern Montana.
