Laura McKenzie's Traveler

London has played a key role in world affairs for centuries, and as you stroll throughout this magnificent city, history comes to life before your eyes. Buckingham Palace, Campden Market, Covent Garden, the Tower of London, and Cliveden House are just the beginning of the places you will visit.

Whether by foot, bike, or boat, Laura hits all the hotspots in Amsterdam, such as the Rijksmuseum and the Hotel De L'Europe. She even takes a day-trip outside the city to explore neighboring Volendam and picturesque Volendam Harbor and drops into the Rembrandt Hoeve Cheesefarm and Clog Factory.

Cambodia has recently risen as a must-see travel destination, and top-notch resorts and hotels have developed to accomodate travelers. Join Laura as she treks to the magnificent temples of Angkor Wat, Bayon, and Ta Prohm via one of Asia's most recognizable animals - the elephant.

Begin your stay along the Amalfi Coast in stunning Positano. They say Ravello is a town suspended between sea and sky, and it will leave an impression on you as it has on many artists, musicians, and writers. In Salerno, the gardens at Villa Rufolo will seer into your memory.

A delightful Mediterranean climate, fantastic beaches, and fascinating historic sites only begin to describe the Maltese experience. Few places in the world possess a more exquisite coastline. The HBO series, "Game of Thrones," filmed portions of the series in Malta's capital city of Valletta.

At the confluence of Muir Eireann and the Irish Sea on Ireland's East Coast stands the capital city of Dublin. Join Laura McKenzie as she enjoys the perfect pint at Gravity Bar atop Guinness Brewery, explore Dublin Castle, and become acquainted with The Four Seasons Dublin.

There is more than enough to keep you busy in Paris. Historic sites such as the Louvre, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Picasso Museum, and Paris Opera House only get you started. Tuileries Garden and Paris Beach offer a unique way to relax and have fun, and Sacré-Coeur offers a 360-degree view of city.

Rent a Rolls Royce and roll through L.A. in style. When you hit Hollywood and Vine you know you are in the city's heart, as the Pantages Theater, Capitol Records Building, Grauman's Chinese Theatre, and Kodak Theater greet you. Get the skinny on everything Beverly Hills and visit Olvera Street.

Bangkok is a city of sensory overload. Visit the majestic Wat Arun, or The Temple of the Dawn, a Buddhist Temple along the Chao Phraya River. In the heart of Bangkok lies the Grand Palace where visitors gaze upon the Emerald Buddha, and shop the Weekend Market for something authentically Thai.

Once the capital of the world, join Laura in Rome. Travel Rome's oldest road, the Appian Way, and behold St. Peter's Basilica, an Italian Renaissance church that will touch your heart and soul, especially when you view Michelangelo's Pieta. That, and myriad other glorious sites, await you in Rome.

Edinburgh Castle stands boldly atop Castle Rock. Visit St. Margaret's Chapel, the oldest building in Edinburgh, and become acquainted with the legend of Greyfriars Bobby. The Royal Mile and the Grassmarket will keep you busy and fed and tour the waters in luxury aboard the HMY Britannia.

Laura believes the Greek Islands are the perfect destination for a family vacation. Take the island of Hydra, for instance. No cars, trucks, nor buses are allowed, and there is virtually no crime. Cruise by the volcanic island of Poros in private mega-yacht O'Pari before arriving on Aegina Island.
