I’m stopping in Seoul en route to do a story in Bangkok, which coincided with Obama’s visit today.

I first came here in 1979 and certain things remain, like the DMZ, not far from Seoul.

In 1979, when I first visited, it was described as the most dangerous place on earth … and that description could still be true when you think that the 3-mile strip of land separating the two Koreas is jammed with troops, guard posts, tanks, missiles, and bunkers. And it’s a great tour to boot.

Wine bottleDear Peter,
I know it’s our tradition to leave notes for each other in hotels around the world and for me to send you these electronic postcards as I travel on my own, but today I have decided to begin the Napa Bottle Blog since I am out and about doing the entire area scene.

There’s going to be a Born to Shop California Wine Country, so I will have a lot more to report on besides Napa, but right now I am living in the Westin Verasa in East Napa, California.

Dietitian and mixologist Tina Ruggiero offers her tips for healthy drinking on the road.
