WOOHOO!! I'm doing the world's BIGGEST happy dance!

Welcome (once again) to....

Fantastic Fall Food-stravaganza!!

**NOTE 11/01** Hi Everyone! Thanks so much for reading! For the moment I'm just uploading all my pics but I promise I'll add detailed reviews to each post asap!

For anyone that read my original Pre-Dining Report, I deleted it because some unforeseen circumstances made us believe we'd have to cancel our trip. While my DDad still had to have surgery, the date has been bumped to early Oct, and he has been cleared to travel for our vacation!

Hi everyone!

Thanks so much for subbing!

I realize I forgot to say exactly when I'm going LOL

Oct 24th - Nov 3rd

So today, I want to show you my Food & Wine Festival - Cities in Wonderland - Food Booth Cards

These were made in powerpoint and each has the Food & Wine Festival Logo, the city & country of the booth, the flag of the country (or city in cases like Boston & San Francisco) and a list of the items available (i'll update once the festival actually starts) with a rating from 1 (poor) to 5 (outstanding)

I have one for each booth and I plan to print them and bind them together as a little booklet so as we eat around the world I can simply rate each item and take notes.

I also have itinerary cards for each day of my trip. The are themed around the Food & Wine Festival and Ratatouille because I found some adorable vintage poster style Ratatouille graphics!
