Celebrity Travel: Go away with Michael Lockwood
A: Just how small America can be. I have spent years on the road. I am so fortunate. I have seen a good deal of our planet. When you leave America, you realize that other countries speak of world news and events daily. I noticed this right away. It feels like when you are not at home, you see the bigger picture. It goes without saying that traveling is one of the best ways to broaden your horizons.
Q: You share twins with Lisa Marie Presley. Did the four of you travel much during the twins' baby years?
A: We traveled quite a bit. Not only for vacation, but the girls came on the road with us. That took a village. Now that they are teenagers, things have changed so much. My fiancée and I recently took a road trip to Northern California with them. It was so much fun and easy. At their age, it's all about their phone, playlists and their friends. A houseboat and lake did make the trip easy as well.
Q: Where have you visited for work that you went back to later for a vacation?
A: I went to and worked in the United Kingdom many times and went back to live there. So that says something about the impact it had on me. The first time I traveled to London was probably around 1985 or 86. I went there to record an album with Lions & Ghosts for EMI. On day one, it seemed like home to me. I would get off the Tube and without thinking, I would turn left and head down the street and always knew which way I was going. Every time I return, it feels like home. I know it in my bones.
Q: Where are your favorite weekend getaways?
A: Palm Springs and Santa Barbara. Always and forever. There is something about both of those places. They are haunting to me and oh-so romantic. I recently went to Palm Springs with my fiancée. It never disappoints.
Q: If you've ever gone away for the holidays, which was the best trip?
A: I think that I have rarely gone away for the traditional holidays. There will always be something special about returning to my parents’ house for Christmas. The sounds, the smells. They never seemed to change. Familiar. It kept me young.
Q: What are your five favorite cities?
