One of my favourite memories from visiting Lebanon last summer was the fruit.  Specifically, the cherries and apricots were irresistibly yummy.  In fact, I didn’t particularly like apricots before my visit to Lebanon; how that changed once I sunk my teeth into a Lebanese apricot!  It must be something about the Middle Eastern sun; the fruit were perfectly ripened, sweet but still firm. I ate them until my belly ached, but I’ve never been able to find apricots nearly as good back in Montreal.

What is the best fruit you’ve ever had?

Ok, so it’s a tiny bit kitschy. But it made me smile! This hotel room at Maison Moschino Design Hotel in Milan wins major points for originality.

PROS of the Heys USA Britto Collection:

• You will never get your suitcase confused with someone else’s. Goodbye to luggage carousel mix-ups.
• Kind of cute, and definitely distinctive.

CONS:

• You will probably get really sick of this design. Like, REALLY.

Either way, I think it’s nice they did something new with boring old luggage.
