Traveling is my favorite activity and I usually travel with my sister, the perfect traveling partner. Our favorite things to do when traveling include sampling the local cuisine, enjoying outdoor activities, learning about the culture, and taking pictures. Oh, and did I mention how much we love to eat?

Pereybere Feb 15 '07 | Pereybere, Riviere du Rempart | |
Wang Thai "This thai restaurant, situated above the grocery store in Pereybere, has a wide selection of options, including some local seafood along with the the traditional thai fare. We loved the mixed fruit drinks, although they were more artfully presented the first night we dined there. The phad thai is flavorful and filling, with perfect bite-sized chunks of tofu." | Pereybere, Riviere du Rempart | |

The Botanic Gardens and L'Aventure du Sucre Feb 19 '07 | Pamplemousses, Mauritius | |
Winer Walzer Cafe "This cafe, only a short walk away from the botanic gardens, offers up some lovely light snacks. We had crepes (chicken and mushroom; ham and cheese) and refreshing fruit juices. It was also very reasonably priced!" | Pamplemousses, Mauritius | |
Ilot Gabriel Feb 20 '07 | Grand Baie, Riviere du Rempart | |
South Mauritius Feb 21 '07 | Mahebourg, Grand Port | |
Le Jardin Creole "A cheaper option than Les Copains D'abord, this restaurant is near to Blue Bay and offers interesting pizza options as well as seafood and creole dishes. I really enjoyed my white tuna in a honey lime sauce and would also recommend the smoked marlin pizza. If you like dessert, you will be happy with their menu!" | Mahebourg, Grand Port | |
Chantemer "If you are staying here during any sort of problematic weather, be prepared to be treated as an unwelcome freeloader rather than a paying guest. Our Lonely Planet mentions the owner goes out of her way to be helpful. The only thing she went out of her way to do was to remind us constantly of how hard on her it was, to have guests!" | Mahebourg, Grand Port | |
Points of Interest Around South Mauritius Feb 27 '07 | Mahebourg, Grand Port | |
Les Copains D'abord "This lovely restaurant on the Mahebourg waterfront provided us with two wonderful meals during our stay. An excellent appetiser is the palm heart and crab dip, served in a shell and delicious on their warm olive bread. Their portions are generous; I was not able to finish my seafood pasta (lunch) or my wild boar curry (dinner)! With both lunch and dinner our meals ended with a complimentary shot of 10-year-aged rhum! Be sure to come in the evening for live music." | Mahebourg, Grand Port | |
Central Mauritius Feb 28 '07 | Curepipe, Plaines Wilhems | |
Kuala Lumpur Mar 01 '07 | Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia | |
Marche "For a luxurious dining experience at a restaurant with great decor and excellent service, head to this restaurant! The staff were all very polite and the chef even came out to talk to us after our meal to get our opinion on the food!" | Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia | |

Genki Sushi "The most fun I've had at lunch all trip!" | Hong Kong, China | |
Central and Kowloon Mar 05 '07 | Hong Kong, China | |
Pret a Manger "This British chain of take-away food is a wonderful option for people who like fresh, tasty, and healthy food! The sandwiches, salads, and wraps are all made fresh daily and there are many excellent smoothie and dessert options to grab as well. I could eat here every day! The only bad thing about the Pret we went to is that it is located in the Central MTR Station - not very good ambience but convenient if you are hungry and traveling by MTR!" | Hong Kong, China | |
Kowloon Mar 06 '07 | Hong Kong, China | |

Hotel Hvolsvollur "A very nice breakfast and clean shared showers were provided; however, the room was on the threadbare side and there was something noisy going on behind the hotel in the morning. Watch out for the giant spiders!" | Hvolsvollur, Rangarvallasysla | |

Guesthouse Akureyri "Right in the center of town, views over the shopping street, plus a large room! What more could a tired traveler ask for?" | Akureyri, Eyjafjardarsysla | |
Bautinn "This was the best dining experience we have had in Iceland! There was a giant salad/soup bar and the building itself is historic - the oldest in Akureyri. Our desserts were beautiful - the ice cream even had a little Icelandic flag in it." | Akureyri, Eyjafjardarsysla | |

The Savoy Hotel "The best thing about this hotel was the fact that they serve free wine and snacks from 4-6pm every day! They also have an excellent location. However, for some reason they could not transfer calls to our room one of the nights that we were there - a minor inconvience, but they made up for it by not charging us for the outgoing calls we were forced to make." | San Francisco, California | |
The Cheesecake Factory "Our order was apparently lost and so we had to wait about an hour for our food. However, the cheesecake desserts were sublime!" | San Francisco, California | |
Cable cars and shopping Aug 16 '06 | San Francisco, California | |
Millennium Restaurant "A wonderful vegan restaurant, located right inside our hotel! Unfortunately, it was very expensive, but it was worth the splurge! Try the sorbet sampler for dessert, you won't regret it." | San Francisco, California | |
