<p>You&#8217;ve obviously never stayed at the Cabo San Lucas resorts like Esperanza or Las Ventanas—places so fancy that the views have views—or the five-star digs in Punta Mita&#8230;</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a reason why celebrities are skipping St. Barts or Lake Como, and it only partially has to do with proximity&#8230;</p>
<p>Though distance does have something to do with it. Yes, a two-hour flight—versus, say, six, including a stopover in Miami—is appealing to even stars who can afford private jets&#8230;</p>
<p>But even more valuable than convenience is privacy, and these days, Mexico has plenty of it.</p>
<p>&#8220;A lot of these celebrities travel with their own protection, their own bodyguards,&#8221; Horne says. &#8220;And often the hotel is nice enough to grace them with extra security, all behind the scenes.&#8221;</p>
<p>Lastly, stars are looking at pretty deep discounts at the five-star resorts.</p>
<p>&#8220;A $20,000 presidential suite is now between $5,000 and $8,000 a night,&#8221; Horne says. &#8220;It&#8217;s a huge savings.&#8221;</p>
<p>And even stars tend to love a good discount. &#8221; (via  eonline.com) by LESLIE GORNSTEIN</p>

But you can reduce the severity of the symptoms by trying these &#8220;counter measures&#8221; from the American Pharmacists Association:</p>
<p>Drain a glass of water before your flight takes off. Dry air in an airplane cabin generally aggravates cold symptoms. Fight this problem by drinking a lot of non-caffeinated and non-alcoholic beverages while on board, too. Yes, staying hydrated on a flight can be inconvenient. But when you&#8217;re congested, changes in cabin pressure can spark intense pain in your sinuses, and the resulting discomfort can last for days afterward. You won&#8217;t regret the hassle of drinking up.</p>
<p>-Don&#8217;t overeat. Sorry to break the bad news, but there&#8217;s no scientific support to grandma&#8217;s saying, &#8220;Feed a cold and starve a fever.&#8221;</p>
<p>-Don&#8217;t assume your local pharmacy knows what Tylenol is. Pack an emergency stash of medicine for your trip. If you have to seek help at a local pharmacy, try to do some Internet research about the names of medicines in advance. Tip: In Europe, the generic pain reliever acetaminophen goes by the name of paracetamol.&#8221; (via  current.newsweek.com) by Sean O&#8217;Neill</p>

<p><strong>Best of Paris </strong>in 7 Days Your week in Paris will include a monumental mix of the city&#8217;s greatest sights: the Louvre, Orsay and Cluny Museums, Notre-Dame Cathedral, Sainte-Chapelle, and Versailles Palace. You&#8217;ll also enjoy guided neighborhood walks through the city&#8217;s historic heart — and quieter moments to slow down and savor the intimate cafés, colorful markets, and the joie de vivre that brings life to the City of Light.</p>
<p><strong>Best of Rome</strong> in 7 Days During your week in Rome, you&#8217;ll tour Ancient Rome&#8217;s Colosseum, Forum, Pantheon, and the Roman seaport of Ostia Antica. From the Renaissance and Baroque eras, you&#8217;ll see St. Peter&#8217;s Basilica, the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel, and Borghese Gallery. You&#8217;ll also enjoy today&#8217;s Rome, with a cooking demonstration, neighborhood walking tours, memorable restaurants, and time to wander on your own.</p>
<p><strong>Best of London</strong> in 7 Days During yourweek in London, you&#8217;ll tour The Tower, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul&#8217;s, and the Cabinet War Rooms. You&#8217;ll see priceless art and artifacts at the National Gallery, British Library, and British Museum. Your guide will take you on neighborhood walks, a Thames cruise, and a train trip to Windsor Castle — and you&#8217;ll have time to rub elbows with London&#8217;s colorful street life and pubs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Follow Samantha on The Travel Channel<img class="alignright" src="http://o.aolcdn.com/os/travel/editorial/1-samantha-brown-travel-320lvg052410" alt="null" width="320" height="180" /></p>
<p>&#8220;Most people would kill for Samantha Brown&#8217;s job. The Travel Channel host spends 230 days a year covering about 100,000 miles for shows like &#8220;Samantha Brown&#8217;s Great Weekends&#8221;, now in it&#8217;s second season.</p>
<p>She is also wrapping up &#8220;Samantha Brown&#8217;s Destinations&#8221; and &#8220;Samantha Brown&#8217;s Asia&#8221;. Her last trip? To Indonesia. It took her 36 hours to get home. &#8220;The trip began on a horse and cart, then a boat, a car, and 4 plane rides later I was home,&#8221; she says.</p>
<p>Like any seasoned traveler, Brown has learned a thing or two about cultural differences over the years, especially about what to pack to blend in with the locals. &#8220;I know that what works for job interviews also works in travel,&#8221; says Brown. &#8220;First impressions mean a lot and looking good has a lot to do with that.&#8221; Taking cues from the local style does more than make you more comfortable, she says, it also protects you.</p>
<p>&#8220;You want to dress as close to as the locals do if only as to not be targeted as a tourist with a nice camera and wallet full of money and credit cards, even if you have neither,&#8221; says Brown. But what works on one continent doesn&#8217;t necessarily work on another.</p>
<p><strong>In Asia and the Middle East:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Cover yourself appropriately, everywhere you go.</strong> Americans love their casual summer attire-shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, and flip-flops-in warm weather, but in much of the world there&#8217;s no temperature high enough to justify donning what&#8217;s considered &#8220;beach wear&#8221; while sightseeing. Brown herself made this mistake during her recent travels in Southeast Asia. &#8220;I showed up in shorts and tank tops and realized that, while appropriately dressed for heat, I was inappropriate for the culture,&#8221; she says. &#8220;Most of Asia is very conservative in dress and in exposing of skin.&#8221;</p>
<p>Be careful when dressing exactly like the locals though &#8212; you may miss some of the subtleties. Brown learned that lesson on a visit to one of Bali&#8217;s temple ceremonies. &#8220;I tied my sarong, then I helped with my male cameraman&#8217;s only to find that I had tied his &#8216;the woman way,&#8217; &#8221; she says. &#8220;All the men laughed at us and we had a great chuckle, too.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>In Europe:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Don&#8217;t pack sportswear unless you&#8217;re hitting the gym.</strong> There&#8217;s no denying that the cliché is true &#8212; you can easily pick out the American travelers in Europe by their bright-colored clothing and sneakers. &#8220;Lily Pulitzer works well in Palm Springs, but not in Florence, Italy,&#8221; says Brown. She also advises travelers to leave the athletic shoes at home. &#8220;As a whole, Europeans dress in an extremely high-end and tailored fashion,&#8221; explains Brown. &#8220;Both women and men devote a large part of their income to clothing.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>In Latin America:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Avoid attention-getting outfits.</strong> &#8220;Here you actually want to be a lot more understated. Muted colors and jeans will get you in just about anywhere,&#8221; says Brown.</p>
<p><strong>Don&#8217;t pack any bold jewelry.</strong> Since the locals don&#8217;t wear ornate jewelry, doing so will immediately set you apart. Brown takes this advice seriously. &#8220;Leave the engagement rings at home,&#8221; she says. &#8220;A diamond could attract the wrong attention.&#8221; (via  travel.aol.com) by Sherri Eisenberg</p>
