Destination Review Nice: Exploring a Celebrated French Flower Market By Shannon Connell
I sauntered through a sea of pink-centered stargazer lilies, lilac-colored hydrangeas and roses in every imaginable color. I drank in my colorful surroundings and the deep floral aroma that mingled with the warm, salty air. I couldn't help but think that Marche aux Fleurs in Old Nice is a magical place. It’s as though I had been transported to another time, a time when a trip to the market was considered commonplace. But in today’s hectic world, there can be little time for such simple delights like a morning stroll through a beautiful flower market that’s more than a century old.

Destination Review: Lux Vegas Sizzles By Janice Nieder
Summer in San Francisco is so counter-intuitive. As an East-coast transplant, it still feels weird to spend most of the June and July bundled up in sweats, reduced to breaking out the self-tanner for a little fake glow. So naturally, I jumped at the chance to join a press trip hosted by the LVCVA and R&R Partners, to show off the luxurious side of Vegas.

Hotel Review Sumaq Hotel, Machu Picchu, Peru By Patti Mangan
This is more than a luxury hotel experience deep in the heart of the Andes- it is a familiar, loving experience from the moment you arrive. The staff at Sumaq are a genuine family who welcome you with warm smiles and easy laughter. They do this everyday. Make you feel at home. Relaxed. Cared for. Check in with a welcome cocktail and head to your colorful room perched over the Sacred Valley's nourishing Urubamba River. Slide your floor to ceiling windows wide open and soak in the streaming sunlight and fresh mountain air. Wrap yourself in the custom crafted alpaca wool blanket and sink your head into one of eight hypo-allergenic white down pillows as you dream of the summit at Machu Picchu.
This nearly new 5 star hotel is situated at the base of the town, wrapped along the rivers edge. This site placement came in handy during the floods of early 2010. Unaffected by the water surge the hotel is prepared for large groups, weddings and families.
