For the time being, though, I’ve had to live vicariously through my fellow members of the Luxury Travel Blog Network.

Mrs. O Around the World had the most eventful month, with trips to the Maldives, Dubai and Paris to celebrate her birthday! Lucky girl, eh? I’m dying over how blue the water was in the Maldives. Yeah, that looks like paradise.

Travel Panties crafts the perfect getaway in Antigua. Apparently, there are direct flights from JFK – who knew? She recommends the Carlisle Bay Hotel and Campbell Gray Hotel.
