I like to eat lunch out in restaurants when traveling, especially abroad. Some evenings, I prefer to have food from the local grocery stores. I can eat on my own schedule in my hotel room or condo, and it is a lot less expensive than having a good dinner out. Also, I generally have fresh fruit, yogurt or other breakfast items in my room since I tend to wake up hungry. This is a lot more convenient for me. Of course, there are exceptions.
