AS I EDITED THIS month’s feature on remote business travel (page 40), I heard the whir of cars on the busy Madrid street outside my hotel room window, and I could not help but think of how appropriate it was to be reading about that topic as I sat at a desk thousands of miles from my own in Yardley, Pa. In our technologically advanced world, it feels like anything is possible, and business can be conducted from even the farthest flung corners of the globe. We all become global nomads.
I enjoyed an early taste of spring at the annual and wildly popular Philadelphia Flower Show; this year’s theme was Holland, and the Pennsylvania Convention Center was awash in beautiful blooms, some highlighted in my photo this month. The bright tulip displays were visually stunning and a perfect segue to Becca Hensley’s article on how to enjoy a family-friendly visit to Amsterdam. Turn to page 68 for more.
With spring in full bloom and travelers anticipating summer, we jet around the world in this issue: Madrid, Marrakech, Minneapolis, Seoul, Glasgow, Petra, Sydney, The Hamptons and Buenos Aires.
With summer looming on the horizon, find ways to keep your beach bodies in check while traveling in next month’s magazine, our first-ever Wellness Issue; we update travelers on the best hotels and airports for wellness and cover how a number of destinations worldwide help travelers get moving.
