Different people have different strategies for travelling. Some meticulously plan their routes noting possible delays, road conditions, and weather with the objective of getting from A to B as quickly as possible. Others laboriously research the areas through which they will be travelling with an eye to seeing every possible—and I mean every possible—sight (this tended to be my dad’s strategy when we were kids). I travel by restaurant guide. Not the grandest or even the best restaurants but the most notable restaurants, particularly those that feature regional specialties.
