• Spice things up by dining at Salt inside the Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island
  This past weekend, I was teased endlessly by a travel-writing colleague for performing a fine-dining no-no during my last visit to a Ritz-Carlton restaurant. I guess asking for a to-go box is taboo. Who knew? It was for my awesome buffalo meat entrée at the Core Kitchen & Wine Bar at the Ritz-C…

  LAHAINA, Maui, Hawaii -- Thanks to the PGA Tour's Hyundai Tournament of Champions, we've seen the 660-yard 18th hole on the Kapalua Plantation Course from every angle. Severely downhill and usually downwind, even hackers can hit their tee shot 300 yards. The fairway is so wide you can swing as…
