Chalet Le Petit Chateau 1850

For those who love skiing or just love the mountain views and can afford it.  Check out Chalet Le Petit Chateau 1850, in Courchevel which is located in the commune of Saint-Bon-Tarentaise in the French Alps.

This place has every luxury you can imagine.  Jacuzzi/hot tub, indoor pool, private gym, indoor cinema, private butler, chef and housekeeper.  Throw in your own personal chauffeured car service and you're set.  They even have heated boot warmers.  It has seven bedrooms (a bit big for me alone - anyone care to join me?) and even offers massage, beauty treatments and if you ever desire to return to the land of the living, a helicopter that will take you to the airport.

Or how about London

Nottinghill to be exact.  I could get my son some wonderful bespoke suits at Paul Smith.

The Travel Bug has hit again...

This year is not about travel - it's about a new car that we desperately need so travel at least for now is off the list.  But I'm already craving a trip again.  So vicariously I will take a virtual trip

 

Shopping at Chanel - 31, Rue Cambon, Paris

 

 

Pick up one of these. - Image Hollie Hobin (Happy 21st birthday Hollie)

 

 

Serious shopping along the Place Vendôme

 

 

And since I would like to be close by to all the action I would stay at the Mandarin Oriental.

 

My room with a view.

 

Or here - I'm not picky.

 

Or maybe this room. 

 

I would enjoy dinner on the lovely top floor patio

 

and look out over the roof tops of Paris.

Dreaming My Way Through Winter

Don't these images just feel like you're in the dream world?

 

I love this image.  It's one of my all time favourites.

 

I'm hungry.

 

 

My next vacation will look like this. 

  

 

What dream would be complete without Paris.  Throw in some fireworks - why not.
