Celebrity Travel: Go Away With Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett
A. Rancho Palos Verdes outside of Los Angeles is one of my favorites. It is so close to where we live, but when you're there you feel like you're a world away. San Diego is another one that is great for us for a weekend. Again, it is somewhat close to where we live but it's a totally different place. Las Vegas is, of course, an all-time favorite. It's a 45-minute flight for me and my friends. It's a quick and easy getaway where we always have a blast.
Q. How do your travels differ depending on whether you're working or taking a vacation?
A. When I'm traveling, I like to really do all the local things and experience where I am. I was just in Nashville for work, but when I had time off I made it fun and toured the city. I went to famous local restaurants and even line danced. When I'm on vacation I just want to relax. I will totally get out and try to experience the culture as well. But my main focus is just to get away and relax. Who I'm traveling with also changes everything.
Q. What are your favorite hotels?
A. Loews Coronado Bay (http://www.loewshotels.com/Coronado-Bay-Resort) in Coronado, Calif., is gorgeous. We stay there all the time. Le Blanc Spa Resort (http://www.leblancsparesort.com/) in Cancun is another favorite of ours. The Edgewater Hotel (http://www.edgewaterhotel.com/) in Seattle is where Hank and I went back to celebrate our anniversary. Montage Beverly Hills (http://www.montagebeverlyhills.com/) is my favorite local spot.
Q. What are your five favorite cities?
A. San Diego definitely, because it's where I'm from and it will always be home. Los Angeles, because that is where I call home now and where my family and I live. I was just in Nashville recently and it quickly became one of my favorite cities. The people there were awesome and I loved the country vibe. Indianapolis will always have a special place in my heart, because it is where I was pregnant and where I had my son. I met so many amazing people there and even though it had some cold winters, it was absolutely beautiful. Miami is another one of my favorites because it is the perfect place for a getaway with your friends. If you want to just go to the beach and relax, it is perfect. But it's also perfect to party and let loose. There really is no place like Miami.
Q. Where have you traveled to that most reminded you of home?
A. Hawaii actually reminded me a lot of home. The people were laidback and outdoorsy -- a bunch of surfers! It's a total breath of fresh air that reminded me of San Diego a lot.
Q. Where would you like to go that you have never been to before?
