ASK THE ADVISORS
WHERE WOULD YOU SEND PRINCE HARRY AND
MEGHAN MARKLE ON THEIR HONEYMOON?

TIP

"Knowing their first trip together was to Botswana, I'd take it full
circle and send them back. It's the perfect time of year to be there,
if they go right after their wedding. I'd have them stay at Belmond
Eagle Island Lodge, in the heart of the Okavango Delta, which
should be flooded, attracting many animals. To cap it off, I'd fly
them to the Seychelles, with as much or as little private touring
along the way as they'd like." - Lila Fox, New Orleans
"With just 40 villas and suites, Lizard Island [on Australia's Great
Barrier Reef] is an amazing destination with lots of seclusion.
They can have exclusive use of the Fascination III, Lizard Island's
51-foot private charter, and go scuba diving or fishing. If they catch
anything, the chef can prepare it for a private dinner." - Bowden
Sarrett, Mobile, Alabama
"They should hop the pond to Amangiri in Utah to embrace raw
desert beauty. With its easy access to many national parks, Meghan can show him the best of our country. They
can start the day with a hot-air balloon ride, taking in views of Lake Powell and Navajo Mountain, followed by massages in the resort's tranquil spa. This is true serenity and privacy." - Jessica Griscavage, McLean, Virginia

BANGKOK ("Bangkok's New

and I (1956) - the fictional account of a real-life schoolteacher
who moved to Bangkok to teach
the royal children and (in the film)
had a love affair with the king.

chef's journal from a year at the
original Noma, and a collection
of candid snapshots.

"The Skytrain and the
subway are fantastic
ways to travel around
Bangkok. They're
clean, efficient, easy
to navigate, inexpensive, and air-conditioned. If you'd like to
leisurely move along
the Chao Phraya
River, take a river
taxi. Uber is a great
way to get around, as
well - taxis can be
a challenge to find,
especially during rush
hour. When you go
out, be sure to carry
your hotel's business
card with the address
written in Thai."
