How do you plan your trip?
Google for hotel reviews, cities history and places to see. Weather.com to find out how the weather will be so I can pack properly. Travel shows like Lonely Planet with Megan McCormick. She is a friend of the families and her show is awesome. Louis Vuitton Travel Guides are very well edited and sophisticated. Really, the best way to find out about places is through recommendations from trusted fellow travelers.

When it comes to travel, what’s your best piece of advice?
If for whatever reason you need to bring large luggage, make sure you bring some extra clothes. I’ve been traveling for almost twenty years and it’s really good to be able to shower and put on something fresh upon arrival. There is nothing worst then arriving in your final destination, finding out your luggage didn't make it there, and having to deal with the stress of tracking it.

Basically, pack light. Then you don’t need to check in your bags. Carry-on means easy. Easy means begin your trip upon arrival.
