I am definately a home is wher the heart is type of gal. The best places are spent my my best girls – lots of laughs and giggles, good food and great shopping. My current faves include DC – of course, Hamilton, NY, the OBX and Nosara, Costa,Rica. They are like shoes – all different, all my faves and all too pretty to choose.
I followed you on all 3! My favorite place to travel to is Paris, it's just so beautiful! I'm perfectly content to just wander around the city for hours. 🙂
My tip would be to always show up to the airport early-even earlier than you think you should… I may or may not have missed an international flight before. 😉
Thanks for following and GREAT tip, Elisabeth!! One I have learned the hard way, myself. It removes so much stress to arrive early.
Sandy, thank you for the awesome giveaway! I am a new follower via GFC (as Elena V), Bloglovin' and Facebook as Elena Vo.
One tip I will share that I learned several years ago in Italy: bring stylish clothes. Italians in general dress very well and a simple khaki pant with a neutral shirt just won't cut it. Plus, it's a giveaway to criminals that you're a tourist if you stand out from the crowd 🙂

Welcome Elena – Thanks for all the follows and your excellent tip. It is so true that it's important to be stylish and it's a tip off to thieves that you are a tourist if you don't look like you fit in. One of my mottos is "When in Rome…"!
Hey Sandy,
Nice blog! I'm now a blog and twitter follower now officially, us travel bloggers gotta stick together! I'd have to say that Florence, Italy has got to be one of my favourite places to travel to. That or Banff, Canada. Both are just so beautiful!

Hi Lauren – Thanks for joining us!! I love Florence too, but I have never been to Banff. It looks so pretty in the pictures – maybe someday!!

My travel tip is: Always bring a 'mini pharmacy' in your purse/bag wherever you go. I have had the need for numerous kinds of meds in all sorts of places for myself and other travelers who were with me. When you are in a foreign country, they do not have the same kinds of medicines/remedies that we are used to. It will come in handy, I promise.
