Letter from the Editor
Dear Friends, June could not arrive sooner for me. To be honest, I was distracted last month as returning to the city and upstate New York left me swamped with the practicalities of spring cleaning and clean up. Now if only Mother Nature can cease her jesting, we can get a proper summer started. This country celebrates our 250 years of democracy, and there will be celebrations galore. Call me a Yankee Doodle Dandy, I will be out front, waving our flag with pride and glee. Summer travel is forecasted as more popular than ever and whatever your destination, we will be here with the chicest suggestions on what to pack and how to wear it. While we are working on a new edition of Packing for Travel, From Jet Set to Trek Set the Definitive Globe Trotting Guide, click the link for the on line copy of the book. Pack well, have fun, be safe. xxkk
