We are going to the NY Times Travel Show in the city and will be watching every minute of the Oscars on Sunday night. We still haven’t managed to see Twelve Years A Slave – how is it possible that the expected Oscar winner is not showing in a theater near us??
One of the MANY great things about writing a blog is the interaction with my readers. I have readers from all over the world and I would be crazy NOT to tap them as resources on occasion. SO…today I would like to turn the tables around here…who wants to share some travel tips?
I have trips planned to the following places in the next couple of months and I would LOVE any suggestions for restaurants, shopping or activities (all of our hotels are set, but please feel free to share your faves):

Philadelphia, PA…I am going to the Flower Show with my sister for a girl’s weekend…what else should we see/do/eat?
 |
| via |
Washington, DC…I will be visiting my daughter and she always has a list of mile long of places to try, but we are always open to suggestions!
 |
| via |
Los Angeles, CA…I have a few faves in LA, but it has been a few years since I have been there. Would love restaurant and cool shopping ideas!
 |
| via |
Laguna Beach, CA…I haven’t been to the OC in ages, so any advice would be helpful!
 |
| via |
San Diego, CA…We are visiting my son so he will show us around, but if we want to see anything beyond the best surf breaks and the taco joints, we might need some help!
 |

Palm Beach, FL…One of my favorite places, but it has been a few years and since I am sure things have changed, I would love some suggestions (especially for shopping).
Feel free to leave a comment or send me an e-mail with all your wonderful tips! And, of course, when I return from each trip, I will share all of my favorite places with you!
Also, if any of you are traveling and want suggestions, just let me know and I will ask all of my readers to come up with a great list for your destination.
While my days are consumed with all things travel related, I certainly haven’t been everywhere or seen everything! There is no better recommendation than a referral from a friend…and we are all friends here, aren’t we?
Have a fabulous MARCH weekend…wherever you may be wandering!
xoxo
Sandy… you are so lucky! What a great trip. Can't wait to hear all about it. Travel safe and have a wonderful time!!
You're travel plans sound wonderful and they will take you to warmer places! San Diego is one of our favorite places and we one one of our sons will end up going to school there so we can visit, too. We'll be looking forward to hearing about your adventures!
xxoo

SANDY! I am late, having left the house very early this morning! YOU are going to be in my home state of California! Oh L.A…..GO TO SANTA MONICA and go through Brentwood, West L.A. and of course, Laguna and San Diego are brilliant. ENJOY! Anita
Sandy,
The Thomas Bond House in Philadelphia is great, it is in the historic district and is quaint with a wonderful history. As you have a hotel you may need to save this for next time.
The Rodin Museum, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the University of Pennsylvania Archeological Museum are just a few of my favorite places to visit. Of course the Longwood Garden too.
The Reading Terminal Market has lots of interesting foods and it has an outlet of the Metropolitan Bakery another place I love.
These are just a few of my suggestions for Philly, I will ponder the others and let you know.
Have a great weekend.
Oooohh, I can definitely help you with Palm Beach, one of my favorite haunts! Here is a recent post to get you started with your shopping spree, and I can happily email you any more tips you would like! :)http://theglampad.blogspot.com/2013/03/weekend-daytrip-to-palm-beach.html
XOXO,

I'm surprised it's March already too. You have some interesting trips planned. We are currently researching and planning some holidays too. I enjoy this preparation too.

Fun! Santa Monica, Laguna Beach, and shop at the Cross Creek shopping center in Malibu (watch for Celebs)and there are SO many wonderful restaurants on the water.
Have a fun weekend! xxleslie
Sandy,
So many fun trips coming up for you!!! I wish I could help, but I either haven't been or it's been a long time. If you ever need help with Dallas or Charlotte, I can fix you up! Dallas was in the high 70s this past week and I have my fingers crossed that it will be that way in a week when I take the boys!!
Happy travel planning!
xoxo Elizabeth
