Weather Watching: Preparing for Bad Weather While Traveling

Eat

It’s safe to say that eating was already part of your vacation plan. But we’re not talking about the act of eating. We’re talking about exploring the local cuisine, trying out new favorite dishes, and wolfing down the local classics. Again, bad weather should have absolutely no impact on your ability to stuff your face. If the lack of sunshine has rendered the beach unwelcoming, then that opens up a full day of eating, drinking, and conversing with friends.

Not sure where to do it? Ask the locals. Ask fellow travelers. Go on the Internet. Don’t stop searching for proper local fare until you are half way through a lobster roll.
