– www.americanpresstravelnews.com. Maryville, NY-At Webb’s Candy Factory– We love chocolate, so a visit to Webb’s Candy Factory was a “Must”place to visit. All candy is made on site. Webb’s Candy Factory is located beside Chautauqua Lake in Mayville, New York. Opened in 1942 and has remained in the family since 1942. Famous for making goat’s milk fudge, molasses sponge and peanut butter squares. All their candy is made by hand using the old fashioned copper kettle method.

When we entered the store, we were enticed with glass cases filled with chocolates of every shape and sizes. Darrel Webb was in the candy factory ready to make peanut brittle for us. He filled the large copper kettle with all the ingredients and as we watched it heat up he stirred everything until it was ready to pour on to the table for the finished product. Wow, it was delicious!! The store has a nice viewing area so each day visitors can view the candy being prepared. Just had to take home the famous fudge and of course a few turtles. Everything looked so good, it was hard to decide what we wanted. They also have a selection of local gifts and souvenirs. Webb’s is located in Mayville, New York. They also have another store in Haines City, FL. Take a look at their website: www.webbsworld.com

Cataloochee Valley Tours-Heading to Elk Country!

APtravelnews-September 10th, Maggie Valley, at Cataloochee Valley-We took part in visiting the Cataloochee Valley area full of transplanted elk. The bulls were bugling their dominance over their herd of cows-quite a display! The occasion for this trip was an Eco-Tour and Picnic lunch with Cataloochee Valley Tours, Inc. Esther, the owner and tour guide put us in touch with the history and actual animals (Elk) that had been reintroduced to the area known as the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We took in the beauty and grandeur of a place in time and history that, although now having the protection of it being designated a National Park, put us in touch within a living history of the way this place once was, untold years in the past. The only obvious hint that this area has taken on the veil of modernity, was the 3-mile tar road area of the valley (most of the other roads are gravel) and the (of a couple of hundred years of human habitation now gone from the park except for a few buildings left as monuments of this habitation) signs of old foundations left after so many homes were burnt down, during the course of turning many private lands into a park designation, and takeover of the lands of the Cataloochee Valley by the US Government for future protection against the inroads of commercialization.

Viewing the elk and the big adult bulls, hearing their bugling gave me the feeling of a palpable tingling on the back of my neck, I realized that I was being witness to a tableau that has played itself out season after season for many, many millennium, and for a moment- a mere quadrillion of a second, on a million-year timeline, I was there touching the face of Gods handiwork “again!”

Esther, our Naturalist Guide was responsible for this opportunity! She is, and will be a teacher of visitors to this wild and natural area for a long time!

WILMINGTON DELAWARE – A GREAT PLACE TO VISIT

Our destination hotel was as comfy as any we've ever stayed in. — Our destination hotel was as comfy as any we’ve ever stayed in.

WWW.AMERICANPRESSTRAVELNEWS.COM – August 2016, Wilmington, Delaware–Bob and Barb “On the Road Again.” There is so many wonderful things to do in Wilmington Delaware. After checking in to the Double Tree by Hilton, and only having two days, it was hard to pick the best most enjoyable things to do in such a short time. The first thing that we did was take a tour of the hotel. After looking at the beautiful swimming pool, we decided that no matter how

**Summer or winter this pool is kept just at the right temperature!**

busy we will be in the next couple of days, we must try out the pool. Of course they had an exercise room with upscale machines. Our room was clean and comfortable. In the mornings we enjoyed the breakfast buffet that had little omelets and very good coffee, the coffee makes a place.

The location was very easy to get to with ample parking. We immediately scheduled a time to shop next door at the mall to take advantage of the shopping without paying any sales tax. Please take a look at our next post that tells of the museums, the lucious and spectacular of Longwood Gardens ,Andrew Wyeth, The Brandywine River Museum and bunch more amazing places we were able to take in, in DE.
