Jamie’s Thoughts: Is Traveling Paleo? A Tale of Two Trips

Is traveling Paleo?!

A couple weeks ago, I returned from my annual trip back East for the holidays, and this time (finally!), I’m falling right back into my Paleo routine.  That’s probably because I never abandoned it while I was on the trip.  But I’m getting ahead of myself here.
