Half Board

half board [noun]
a. the daily provision by a hotel of bed, breakfast, and one main meal
b. (as modifier) half-board accommodation. Also called demi-pension.

I love gastronomy. And I also love hospitality. Luckily for me, the combination of my job and my personal life means I'm able to visit restaurants and hotels quite regularly.

In the interests of full disclosure I should explain that I am quite often the 'plus one' of a lifestyle journalist who is given complimentary meals and even the occasional hotel stay. I'm always a grateful recipient of such luxuries but never disclose to the establishment in question that I am a blogger and the thoughts here represent none other than my own.

I also eat out and travel a fair bit on my own dime too.

Many of the places I visit are pretty 'meh' so I don't pass comment. But those that inspire thoughts, ideas, praise or criticism I blog about. And on each occasion, I try to be clear about who footed the bill.

One day I'm going to make a career out of my love of good food and great hotels. But, until such a time, I'm going to post my musings about my two favourite topics here.
