Good morning from Central Florida! Cool morning on Good morning from Central Florida! Cool morning on the lanai with a @dollyscupofambition in my coffee mug. The sun is peeking through the Spanish moss and palm trees, the birds are chirping their dawn greetings. A somewhat quiet start to a busy week! What’s brewing in your cup today? Anything exciting in the works?
From Wisconsin cheese and wine to conversations ab From Wisconsin cheese and wine to conversations about culinary travel, storytelling, and the future of travel media, this year’s @ifwtwa1 Conference in Milwaukee was full of opportunities to learn, connect, and be inspired.

One of my personal highlights was stepping into the role of speaker to present my workshop, Media Kits That Work: Turning Your Journey Into Opportunity. Sharing what I’ve learned over the years with fellow travel writers and content creators was both rewarding and a reminder of why I love this community.

Throughout the conference, we explored @wisconsincheese and @wisconsinwine offerings, learned more about @hollandamericaline culinary programs, and heard from talented chefs and industry leaders, including @chefpaulbartolotta . Of course, there were plenty of memorable meals and conversations along the way. All in the name of professional development, naturally. 😉

But perhaps the funniest twist of the conference came with the announcement of our 2027 destination: @visitcentralfl in Polk County!

After traveling to @visitmilwaukee for this year’s gathering, next year the conference is coming to the very county I now call home. Apparently, sometimes the best travel opportunities really are in your own backyard.

Grateful for the friendships, fresh perspectives, and inspiration I’m bringing home from Milwaukee. Looking forward to seeing everyone in Central Florida in 2027!

Can’t wait to finish reading the pages in my hand. It was just right for stepping away from electronics. Kudos @wanderwithwonder Susan Lanier-Graham (this should be made into a @hallmarkchannel movie)

When life gives you BOGO watermelon at @publix , y When life gives you BOGO watermelon at @publix , you make cocktails. 🍉🍹🌴

Introducing The Pink Palm, because apparently I can’t resist a good deal OR an excuse to pop the Prosecco. 🥂 (did I mention the Mionetto Prosecco had a $1 off coupon?)

A little taste of Florida sunshine in a glass!

The Pink Palm 🍉🌴

2 oz fresh watermelon juice
1 oz vodka
½ oz triple sec
½ oz key lime juice
3 fresh basil leaves
2–3 oz chilled Prosecco

Gently muddle basil with watermelon juice. Add vodka, triple sec, and lime. Shake with ice, strain into a wine glass with fresh ice, and top with Prosecco. Garnish with basil.

Cheers to Publix for the BOGO inspiration! Sometimes the best happy hours start in the produce department. 🥂

Yesterday we moseyed around EPCOT while the car wa Yesterday we moseyed around EPCOT while the car was being serviced. I mean, why sit at a service center when you can pop over to a Disney Park!
The Mimosa flight was a must. Hello! It’s me 🤷🏼‍♀️

We walked around and noshed here and there, sampling a few things. The rain tried to dampen the day, but we checked out some of the not busy areas around EPCOT: Awesome Planet and the Disney & PIXAR Short Film Festival followed by Living with the Land and seeing where some of the ingredients are grown for a few of the festival offerings. 

On our way out, we made a final stop for the Wine & Cheese pairing at Communicore Hall. Caymus Cab and Wisconsin cheese? Yes, please! 
 
Perks of being a #disneypassholder 

Have you been to the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival? What’s your favorite dish? And if you are a beer drinker, I have to admit there seemed to be more beer than wine offerings this year.
