The custom of trick-or-treating, dressing up and asking for treats door to door, dates back to the Middle Ages in some cultures. But the treat of choice in those days wasnβt candy. In fact, it was usually fruit, nuts or sometimes money. Most of us donβt want to be known as the neighbor who doled out apples and bananas. Nor can we all afford to dip into our bank accounts to sweeten the … [Read more...]

Bermuda Travel Guide
Bermuda was supposed to be a surprise. Late one night, I checked my Delta app to see what time we would return from our UK trip the week before and there it was. I knew we were doing something to celebrate my 40th birthday, but I secretly hoped it was something cozy and "fall-like".
