Iceland - I had a very special experience taking my father to Iceland this summer. It was a magical time, showing him the ice, the lava flows and the majestic waterfalls and geysers. We had an iconic Icelandic hotdog and some of the most warm and satisfying tomato soup, we have ever had. We enjoyed every minute of our time together.

Favorite Trip Experience

My favorite travel experience took place in Ireland. I enjoyed a fairytale stay with 10 friends at the private Lismore Castle. I stayed in the Duchess' Suite, where Prince Charles and Camille Parker Bowles stayed. This castle is the current residence of the Duke of Devonshire and I felt like a true Duchess.

We visited San Francisco, with its iconic bridge, foggy mornings, historic cable cars & beautiful Victorian architecture. Then we hiked the Muir Woods, & finished the day with wine tasting in Sonoma. There is so much to explore in the Bay Area!

Favorite Trip Experience

I’m a beach, sun lover! I’ll take any island but a memorable one would have to be St. Lucia. From hiking the Pitons to zip-lining through the rainforest. Watch the sunset on catamaran cruise while sipping champagne. It’s Paradise!.

Wow - How about Dubai and Southern India. All aboard Emirates new Airbus A380 – the largest & most advanced aircraft in the world. Talk about great service & lie flat seats! There is no greater “first class” experience than going to sleep at JFK & waking up in Dubai. The juxtaposition of the desert & man-made creations like the Burj Kalifa (the tallest building in the world) is just stunning. Add to that the contrast of Chennai & Southern India with its rich culture, warm people & bustling cityscapes & it’s no wonder I can’t wait for my next trip!

Favorite Trip Experience

Sailing from Stockholm aboard the Norwegian Dream through the archipelago into the Baltic Sea on a warm summer afternoon sipping champagne with my wife. Breathtaking!
