Postcards from the Future

Impossibly beautiful blue is the theme at the home gardens of Yves St. Laurent in Marrakech.

Postcards from the Future

When the time comes to travel again, these destinations are the ones to visit next.

While we were sleeping-……well while we were wearing pajamas all day……these beautiful hotels and resorts were busy sprucing up and upping their cleanliness and safety protocols in preparation for our return in 2021.

With the first vaccines finally rolling out, it seems the end of our long international nightmare is finally (finally!) in sight. 

These are a few of my favorite travel things………although I think I’ve forgotten how to pack.

Postcard snapshots plus where to stay when you plan your travel for 2021.

Bahamas, Harbour Island

The Bahama House

First selfie with a wild pig.

One of the loveliest and most welcoming places to stay on Harbour Island is the elegantly restored Bahama House.  An intimate hotel with eleven plantation-style suites surrounding a bougainvillea filled courtyard and a coral stone swimming pool; the main building was originally a shop for schooner builders in the 1800’s. Guests can step back into the island’s storied history here while enjoying the lavish touches of a modern hotel. 

The real vacation treasure lies within the unique guided experiences led by the expert staff of the Bahama House, one of the luxury adventure lodges operated by Eleven Experience.  

Whatever you choose to do each day, Bahama House executive chef Nikoya Lightbourne (one of the youngest and only female executive chefs on Harbour Island) is ready for any appetite with enlightened culinary experiences inspired by the taste traditions of her native Bahamas. Her Bahamian Banana Pancakes with sausage and Lobster Eggs Benedict are breakfast favorites to start the day.  

Islay, Scotland

The Machrie Hotel

Learning how to improve my shots with the golf pro at The Machrie on Islay in the Western Hebrides of Scotland.

Paris

Your set to enjoy travel again at the Lutetia, a fabulously elegant Set Hotel in Paris.

A visit to the rose garden at Musee Rodin is always on my Paris itinerary.
Currently closed, but this postcard is from a sunny future.

Marrakech

The Royal Mansour hotel is a must in Marrakech.

The Royal Mansour hotel is the most magical place to stay in Marrakech

Seaside trip to coastal town of Sitges, near Barcelona. My favorite hotel in Barcelona ( and they have sister property in Sitges) is the art filled Majestic Hotel. Founded in 1918 it’s a beautiful hotel with a lovely spa and rooftop bar views of Sagrada Familia.

The Greek Isles

Any of the Katikies Hotels!

Santorini Dreaming: Seriously, just go for the photography! I love staying at the Katikies Santorini and it’s easy to pack, just bring blue and white outfits!

Prague

Take me to Alcron Hotel!

Who cares if it’s cold in Prague in the winter? We’re used to being outside and bundled up now! You will feel the warmth of the most gracious hospitality plus great food and a fabulous bar at the Hotel Alcron in center city!!
