MY TOP TEN FAVORITE US CITIES TO VISIT

I love traveling around the US. Each of my favorite cities has its own character and in some cases, a soul. Here they are. Washington DC, New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Tucson, Savannah, Boston, Seattle, Las Vegas and New Orleans.

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.
