Celebrity Travel: Go Away With Michele Halberstadt
A. New Year's in Hong Kong is an unforgettable experience. I also spent once Christmas in Sydney, Australia. So funny to have this warm weather and people in bathing suits and, at the same time, fake snow in the shop windows...
Q. Where have you traveled to that most reminded you of home?
A. I have to say New York. I know it feels like a cliche, but I always feel like I'm at home when I'm in New York. I just love being there. I love everything -- the sounds, the smells, the architecture, the cold, the heat. I'm addicted to that city. But, there's nothing like Paris, of course.
Q. What is your best and/or worst vacation memory?
A. Best: On holidays with husband and kids in Seychelles. Away for a day of fishing. My son caught a marlin on the day of his 12th birthday, with the help of the boat crew naturally.
Worst: Another holiday with husband and kids. My husband got bitten by a mosquito, it got infected, he had a huge fever for two long days and we were in the middle of nowhere. Then it turned out I had the right antibiotic and he got better. But those two days are my recurring travel nightmare.
