• Central America isn’t just a string of countries linking North and South America. It’s an ecological and cultural treasure chest, with Antigua, Guatemala a shining gem in its crown. @HeckticTravels
• Holy crêpe! In a country fueled by this savory or sweet delicacy, one blogger’s on a mission to find the crème de la crêpes. Did she find it in Paris? @AshleyAbroadx
• Airports aren’t exactly bastions of healthy eating, but that doesn’t mean trans fat has to be part of mass transit. Here’s the story from @PeterSGreenberg.
• Morocco’s exoticism lures visitors to North Africa, but some of its customs might not jibe with a Western state of mind. Learn what’s myth and what’s reality in this cultural melting pot. @FathomWaytoGo
• A monsoon reroutes a vacationing family to an artificial island in the Celebes Sea. Is this really the place that Cousteau called “an untouched piece of art?” Welcome to Kapalai. @nytimestravel
