Flying to Boise from St. Augustine became a long journey. I left my condo at 4:15 am to drive two hours to the Orlando Airport for a flight to Minneapolis-St. Paul. After a layover in Minnesota, I caught a flight to Boise. Twelve hours from my start, I was met by Tony Harrison representing Taste Idaho. Tony graciously treated me to a late lunch at Boise Fry Company.
I’ve been to Nova Scotia three times, and each visit gets better than the last. It’s a Canadian province on the east side of Maine, and the name means New Scotland. I fly into the capital city of Halifax and find mystical greenery and shimmering blue lakes all around. The people are friendly, the towns are clean, and visitors and residents find a diverse range of options and adventures.
In March 2014, after many red-tape delays, a distillery finally opened in St. Augustine, Florida, my hometown. The St. Augustine Distillery makes vodka and gin from locally grown ingredients and Florida grown sugar cane. They offer free tours to the public and anyone over 21 can taste a sample. Their products have earned grand reviews and numerous awards. I love taking visitors to the place and am a fan.
