ATLANTIC CITY AT NIGHT, SPECTACULAR!

Flying into Atlantic City on a clear night is spectacular. Our pilot took us north wrapping around AC's peninsula with breathtaking views of the casinos. Harrahs, with its changing colors and displays, was exceptional.

MIMI LOVES TO CARRY ON

Whenever possible, I always opt for carry-on luggage, often an under-the-seater. I have been able to tour in Europe and then hop on a cruise for two weeks (with three to four outfit changes a day) all with a standard-size carry-on suitcase. How can this be done without wearing the same outfits over and over? Anyone can do the same by charting out their daily wear; choosing fabrics that are light-weight, wrinkle-free and pre-coordinated using a base-color theme; scaling down on cosmetics and toiletry sizes; and packing only what will really be used.
