"I travel

therefore I am"

If you want to be ahead of the rest go to Tel Aviv this year.
According to Lonely Planet Tel Aviv is the third hottest place to travel to in 2011, New York is number 1. Since I was in New York already in 2010 I must be really it?!?!

Honestly, Tel Aviv doesn't really do it for me. I'd rather go to Tangier wich is number 2 on the list.
I suppose Paris and Rome are totally out.... for me Paris and Rome always works.

This Xmas Mr S wants to go all inclusive in Egypt and I want to spend a cava drench Xmas at a design hotel in Barcelona or a super luxorious long week end at the Hassler in Rome. They offer a harp concert. I have never heard a harp concert live - how cool wouldn't that be?!?!
And they serve 5 o'clock tea. I have already decided to wear my pink Prada cashmere sweater and black pants, while I sip a cup of Earl Grey and read a book.
I would spend all 3 days in this glorious hotel and never leave, unless to visit my lover Salvatore on Via Condotti.

I feel a bit bad about leaving town for Xmas as my parents will be all alone this year. Sis is going to spend Xmas with her boyfriend, his brother and family. I wonder what that'll be like. I'd love to be a fly on that wall during Xmas Eve.

What are your plans?

Take care

Oh Wow

Long time and no updates.
I have been a busy bee.
Once we came back from holiday in Italy I just did some laundry and repacked and was off to Italy again for a conference trip with work. We went to Milan and Lago Maggiore. Stayed at fierce hotels and partied and some nice places.
Star Rosa Grand in Milan and Hotel Iles Borromes by the lake.
It was very nice. A co worker and me (we both love our shoes) managed to do the enitre shopping street of Milan. She picked up a fabolous pair of Jimmy Choos and I found a Prada knitted sweater. When in Milan - buy Prada.

And now to save money I am officially not shopping. I haven't bought any clothes, shoes or make up since I came back from Milan on Aug 1st and I am not allowed to buy anything until we go to New York.

We did however buy a new bed since it was a special offer and the old bed is not comfortable any more.
Eventually we decided to buy a Jensen bed - it is supposed to be very good for the back. They buidl it on demand which is cool so it will be delivered once we are back from New York.

I have booked 2 really nice hotels in New York The GEM in Soho and the Alex. I also booked us dinner at Riingo, Marcus Samuelssons restaurant - will be fierce. Loves it she does!

Now I should get back to work. I have to arrange a herring plate for one of our bosses from Paris. I am not only a PA I am also a cook and a waitres. Love my life sometimes....

Take care

Spring is in the air

Winter seems to be losing the battle. The snow is melting and the sun is shining. Yesterday I took a walk on the ice, possibly the last one this year.

Now I have booked the flights to New York and all I need now is a hotel. Any ideas? I want to spend one night, probably the last one, in a horribly luxorious hotel. I think my husband is worth it.

I am also checking out some restaurants to visit. I'd love to go to Aquavit and 21 and of course go shopping. My shopping partner H is joining :)

Asked sis and her man F is they wanted to come. She said no since that week F's son is staying with them. And since she can't (or won't) go she wrote the whole thing as a bad idea thinking that no one would want to join...

I don't like that about her: the selfishness. And it hasn't improved since she started living with F. In that way they are very much alike...

They did one thing that is completely unbelievable. He went on a one week skiing holiday with his soon to be ex-wife and son. I would not like it if my boyfriend went away with his ex.

Well is it not my problem, my problem, and a very nice one, is to find plan a nice stay i New York.

Take care
