How To Stay in Shape on Vacation

Vacations were made for rest and relaxation. They’re for lounging poolside with a good book, basking in the afternoon sun at the beach, and ordering an extra scoop of ice cream guilt-free.

Yet, many travelers want to balance vacation extravagances with the desire to stay in shape. Keeping up your fitness routine during a trip doesn’t mean you have to hit the gym every morning. Here on Hilton Head Island, there are lots of ways to stay active and have fun while you’re at it. Check out ten of the most popular activities on Hilton Head Island that burn calories, too.

Sallie ann robinson’s “daufuskie way” is fresh on the menu

As people who love to cook, we have a lot to inspire us these days: local farm stand and market ingredients, enthusiastic chefs eager to share their knowledge (and their recipes!), the media (TV, blogs, magazines) brimming with information for the bon vivant in all of us and – in my opinion – the places we’ve been and the people we’ve shared those spaces with throughout our lives. It’s the story that rings true for many a Southern cook – upbringing plays the essential role in their attitude toward food and the inspiration in their recipes. For local Daufuskie Island cookbook author Sallie Ann Robinson this is especially true. Sallie Ann acquired her cooking skills and love of freshness and seasonality growing up on the isolated and hauntingly beautiful sea island where such things were part of her everyday life.
