One of the things I wish I could do more of is travel. Where to? One of my number one desired destinations to visit is Amsterdam. It has sneakily become the design capital of the world and if I could get a work permit there (which seems to be next to impossible for a non-citizen), my existence would be a much more enjoyable one. Even the giant lego man would be much happier in The Netherlands. Well if I can’t live and work there, I’m going to have to do the next best thing and stay a week in The Winston. Budget Travel recently had an article on The Winston and several other hotels across the world that have hired artists to give their rooms a makeover. These hotels are certainly not hanging up the same old framed sailboats on their walls.
