How Sweet it is With Chocolate

Attention Twitter Chat Fans

I'm one of the moderators for #FoodTravelChat which takes place every Wednesday at 8 PM ET.
This fun-filled Twitter chat picks a theme each week and creates several questions to get the chat rolling.  The conversation is very quick and lively.

Tonight, I invite you to join us for one of my favorite topics:  Sweet Treats 

It's #NationalChocolateDay so I expect to see lots of sweet treats made with chocolate.

Those that follow me on my various social media, know that as a travel advisor, I can be found sailing the high seas.  Can you think of a  better way to get to the chocolate around the world than via cruise ship?  I can't!

While on board the ship, I'm often treated to some special chocolate delights, including the one pictured here.  This was on Royal Caribbean Harmony of the Seas. 

During our National Conference on her sister ship, Symphony of the Seas, there was a similar buffet there as well.  I thought I'd share a different picture with you though.  This was a display the crew assembled for one of our evening events.  The conference theme – DARE – was inspired by the acronym for parent company World Travel Holdings’ mission to Deliver A Remarkable Experience. 

Chocolate isn't only available in Milk and Dark.  I also like white chocolate which can be flavored or in a variety of colors.  The above display was created by Royal Caribbean crew on Symphony of the Seas for our National Conference #2019DareConference.

Following are some of our favorite chocolate discoveries around the globe:

Where is Chris - Social Media Day

#SocialMediaDay 2020  

This year, more than ever, social media is playing a huge role in our lives.  While we have been cocooning, during this pandemic, we've been removed from daily live interactions and have turned to social media to stay connected.  In person meetings have become virtual.  Homes have become offices and schools.  When this is over, don't be surprised if social media and virtual interactions remain a huge part of our lives.

Here on our blog we've posted regular (usually daily) challenges for you to guess the destination featured in the image included in the article.   We've also included ideas on how you might #KeepTheKidsEngaged using the topic or destination as a foundation for activities.

The idea for today's destination came from an event that occurred on this day in history. In 1972 The first leap second is added to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
