Oh, November, one of my favorite months of the year. Not only do I get to celebrate my wedding anniversary (on the United States Marine Corps birthday), remembering all the Veterans of this great country, but there is also Thanksgiving. It is often said that November is the month to give thanks and count your blessings. But if you are like me you do this all year round. November is actually one of the best times to travel to see fall foliage, but there are a lot of fall festivals and parades, and did I mention the start of some Christmas markets?

Hopefully this gives you some travel inspiration, and I would love to help you get to your next destination.

My favorite time of year is about to start at Disney and that's Christmas time! ❄️🎄🎅🏻🎁☃
Each year, Disney starts decorating for Christmas around the first week of November, and the decorations usually last until the first week of January!
At both Disneyland and Walt Disney World, they always film the ABC’s Disney Christmas Day Parade. This year, rumor has it, it will start filming at Walt Disney World on November 12.

Disney transforms into a winter wonderland; each resort will have a tree and decor that represents their theme, and each park will have a tree that represents the park. For Magic Kingdom, it's a classic decorated Christmas tree; Animal Kingdom represents the animals of the Savanna, the cultures of Asia and Africa; EPCOT represents the countries and world; and Hollywood is a classic Hollywood tree.

You will also find that there will be gingerbread or chocolate creations throughout some selected resorts below are the resorts you can find these beautiful creations.
• Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge
• Disney’s Beach Club Resort
• Disney’s BoardWalk Resort
• Disney’s Contemporary Resort
• Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
• Disney’s Yacht Club Resort

Disney Springs also has a Christmas Tree stroll with Christmas trees decorated throughout the area, and they are based on Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, and Superhero favorites. You can complete the Christmas tree stroll and receive discounts at certain areas within Disney Springs.

There is still time for you to book your Christmas/New Year vacation to Disney World or Disneyland!

I saved the best for last, and I am certain a lot of people are thinking about Salem! I am going to go ahead and share mine.

I love castles; I find them interesting and beautiful with a lot of history behind them. But also love old historic U.S. cities.

🏰 The first one is most notably the Bran Castle located in Bran, Romania, home to none other than Dracula.

🏰 The other one is The Tower of London. In this castle, three past Queens of England are buried there within the Chapel: Anne Boleyn, Catherine Howard, and Lady Jane Grey, all of whom lost their heads in that tower.

👻 Within the U.S., though, New Orleans has always been a city that I love. My parents took us there when we were younger. This city is filled with ghost and vampire stories to Marie Laveau.

Just quoted for two best friends to spend their time aboard Carnival Radiance sailing out of Long Beach, California, during Christmas.

This cruise makes two stops after leaving Long Beach, Catalina Island and Ensenada, Mexico.

Catalina Island is a perfect Southern California playground that is tucked away behind the Los Angeles horizon. Catalina Island is what you could consider a sunny paradise with the breathtaking views and Pacific Ocean as your backdrop.

Escape to Mexico's original seaside getaway in Ensenada, Mexico. This location was the perfect hideaway for high-rolling Hollywood stars.

Let me know how I can help with your next cruise!

Christmas Village in Philidelphia, Pennsylvania is considered to be an authentic German-style holiday market that runs from November to Christmas Eve.

Georgians, this one many of you should know about. I have been visiting Helen since I was about 7 years old. One of the first times we went was Christmas, and it was my favorite place to be in Georgia during one of my favorite times of the year.

Located in the Blue Ridge Mountain Region of Georgia, Helen is known as "little Bavaria”, and of course one of the reasons is because of its Bavarian-style buildings, German-inspired food, and all the charm of a small-town German town. Other than Oktoberfest in Helen, during the Helen Christkindlmarkt the area is transformed into a winter wonderland.

From candied apples and fudge to freshly baked goods, shopping, and let's not forget German-inspired food. Below are the German restaurants located in Helen, Ga. All of which I have ate at and you can't go wrong at any of them:
🍺 Hofbrauhaus Restaurant & Pub
🇩🇪 Bodensee
🍺 The Heidelberg
🇩🇪 Old Bavaria Inn Restaurant
🍞 Hofer’s Bakery and Cafe
🧀 Muller’s Famous Fried Cheese Cafe

My favorite out of the restaurants, I would have to say that Hofer’s Bakery and Cafe (The “Rueben” is mouthwatering. Be sure to stop by the bakery to get some German Bauernbrot bread and Black Forest Cake) and Bodensee (the pork schnitzel with German potato salad and homemade Spätzle are my go-to at Bodensee)

This market runs throughout select weekends in November and December and definitely one you don't want to miss especially if you live in Georgia!

Today is National Pasta Day.
What’s your favorite type of pasta? Maybe a special way that you make it?

For me I now eat gluten free pasta and usually I make it up a pasta salad with some cucumbers, black olives, green olives, tomatoes, banana peppers, some chicken, and either feta or goat cheese and throw a little sugar free vinaigrette.
