Arrive in Paris! Can you smell the pastries already? 

Check in to the most amazing, although extremely pricey, hotel in the known world. Every detail, from the famous flowers to the gorgeous spa is perfection. 

Soak up the Parisian light as your stroll down the Champs-Elysees. 

Grab lunch and enjoy memorable people watching at this always delicious spot. 

Start your trip off by getting one of the views you probably came to see: the Golden Gate bridge. It's a hell of a bridge. But there's a lot more to the city to take in- so get a look early and move on.

Get in a cab and ask them to take you to Coit Tower. It's pretty far away- but if you don't have a lot of time, this is view you have to see.

Take a stroll back down the hill and get a taste of San Fran's famous Chinatown. Oddly enough, Chinatown pulls in more tourism than the golden gate bridge. 

In my opinion, one pass through is enough- but take it all in while you can.

Okay. After seeing SF it's time to taste it. If you don't mind booking in advance, and you don't mind paying a small fortune for a meal this is it.

Don't think twice if you can afford it- book a table for when you're in town.  

Begin preparing for your special night with a blowout at the best salon on the UES. 

Continue prepping by getting your makeup done with Taymour at Paul Labreque. An eyebrow and makeup guru, he will have you looking perfect in no time. 

Now that you're looking your finest eat dinner at Daniel Boulud's flagship spot, Daniel. There is not better special occasion restuarant. End of story. 

This boutique spa nestled in the chic Surrey hotel is UES gem. Small and personal the therapsists at the Surrey customize any service. The papaya enzyme facial left me leaving like a new (and very glowly) woman. 

Cornelia is the best, but they don't have showers! If leaving Jasmine oil in your hair for the night is not an option take the short walk to the Fekkai Salon at the mark for a blow out. 

I know, I know you were already missing the Surrey. Head back to the hotel to grab an al fresco bite at chef Daniel Boulud's Cafe Boulud. Sit outside and order a last caress cocktail as you people watch into the night.
