To Maine. Girlahead had been to that marvellous state, entering it from New Hampshire in the south, just to get as far as Kennebunkport. This time was going to be different. It was a four-day tourist trip.

The Inn at Hastings Park is the luxury Relais & Chateaux inn in historic Lexington MA that Trisha Pérez Kennealy built - well, not physically, but effectively. This incredibly extroverted and talented Puerto Rican-American decided long before she was a well-established investment banker that she wanted to have her own restaurant and hotel.

It is well worthwhile while staying at The Inn in Hastings Park to beg, borrow or steal bicycles. There seem to be more green-painted cycle roads around here than anywhere else in USA. You can certainly go all the seven miles to Harvard from Lexington.

Four Seasons One Dalton is the Boston hotel that makes you feel young again, or still young. Although this is a business hangout, the ambiance at its signature Zuma restaurant is 20s achievers and 20s heirs, kids who might be studying at Harvard, but thanks to daddy, have enough money to hang out here every night.

Wynn Las Vegas has wonderful people - take EVP Operations Kris Kaminisky, above, a Lithuanian Kansas boy who’s finally, after years checking out Asia, found his professional home, where everything works…

Wynn's wonderful for workout and well-being. First workout, the gym on the first floor, American style, of the resort. It has enormous areas, but not big enough when it comes to weights. This is typically the case in U.S. right now. Far too many people want weights for the number of weights.

Back to Italy? No, return as every August to the great US of A. Virtuoso Travel Week – VTW – once again descended on Las Vegas, this year 8-14 August.

It's always a hard task to sum up Virtuoso Travel Week, VTW, in a few words. One poignant takeaway was hearing the President of Ted Turner Reserves recounting, one-to-one, how in the last weeks of his life that great man had spent every day being driven round some of his 1.1 million acres in New Mexico, passionately connecting with nature.

This year, Girlahead got into Vegas a day early, intentionally, for the 700-strong AI summit, put together by Gilad Berenstein, who cautioned we're entering the era of small and medium-sized business adaptation of AI.
