GT Tested Awards Recap

As we do every year, in December we celebrated our annual GT Tested Reader Survey Awards at the prestigious Peninsula Beverly Hills in Los Angeles. In its 13th year, this event is a perfect ending to a full year celebrating everything in travel with the award winners. Although I didn’t have the opportunity to stay at the Peninsula, I’m beyond happy with my stay at the InterContinental Los Angeles. I’m told the property was newly renovated, and it shows. The lobby was very welcoming, clean and sophisticated with a giant Christmas tree in the middle. The weather wasn’t what you would expect to see in a Southern California city with 50+ degrees, but it did beat seeing the snow, rain and cold weather I left behind in NYC.

The World Awaits with Turkish Airlines’ Global Access

Turkish Airlines enjoys the unique position as the airline flying to more countries than any other airline. Its unrivaled global reach is only the beginning of the experience that awaits passengers with Turkish Airlines.

Keep It Classy, San Diego!

I spent my Thanksgiving holiday in San Diego. Although it was a very brief visit, I was excited to return to one of my favorite cities in the country — other than NYC, of course. Last time I was there was 15 years ago when I had a slight detour trip to Tijuana, Mexico — crazy place! The city is absolutely beautiful, as the weather is your typical spring temperatures, and the people are stunning! As it is one of the most athletic/fit cities in the world, I was eager to prove my athleticism by signing up for the Turkey Trot on Thanskgiving Day.
