Celebrity Travel: Go Away With Sean Astin
A. We shot "50 First Dates" in Hawaii. We were in Oahu and stayed at the Kahala Mandarin Hotel. They had a little lagoon with dolphins in it, which was fine with us.
Q. Aside from location shooting, do you incorporate your travels into your work?
A. Yes! I have this political (radio) show ("Vox Populi") and wherever I go there seems to be something relevant to the idea of the government. The other day I was in St. Louis and I went up to the (Gateway) Arch and did a little piece. And then I was in D.C. and got a shot of the Capitol Building behind me. Wherever I go, I can't help but incorporate some of the local scenery or the people.
Q. Where are your favorite weekend getaways?
A. Disney. I have children and we live in Los Angeles. Enough said.
Q. Where is the most romantic destination?
A. Florence.
Q. If you've ever gone away for the holidays, which was the best trip?
A. There have been so many. My mom took us on a trip to Alaska when we were kids. That was pretty spectacular. We took helicopters to the top of glaciers and flew on a seaplane and did some salmon fishing. Awesome.
Q. What are your five favorite cities?
