Thank you, my fellow jet-setting joie de vivants! I am receiving gobs and gobs of letters and missives from you, and I appreciate your support for the Jet Set lifestyle.
So, I have decided to answer a few of your epistles.
Q: I would like to take my wife for a long weekend somewhere very special in New England to celebrate our honeymoon. We don’t need activities as we plan to stay in our room and relax. What’s your favorite hotel room in the region?
That’s easy. The Meadow cottage at the fabled Twin Farms resort in Barnard, Vermont is a Moroccan fantasy complete with tented ceiling, a fireplace, and a decadent bathroom with a freestanding tub. You and your wife will bliss out in the colorful, inviting space that invokes a magic carpet ride.

Here’s a question from a blogista in Des Moines, Iowa, who is planning a trip to the Big City and is somewhat transportation-ally challenged.
Q: I am headed to New York City, and I’d like to get around via the subway but have no idea how it all works.
Subway—and bus—fare is $2, so purchase a MetroCard at a subway kiosk or vending machine (you can use exact change on the bus). A one-day Fun Pass ($7.50) includes 24 hours of unlimited rides on the bus and subway, or buy a seven-day unlimited ride MetroCard for $25. But how to navigate the subway and bus system? It’s easy: Go online to hopstop.com, and plug in where you are and where you want to go. Hopstop will guide you from point A to B without running you around in circles.
