40th birthday tour of the Americas

So in true Kelly style, whilst I was away in the US in 2012-13, I came up with the idea of spending my 40th birthday in one of my favourite places on earth - the USA.

At the time, Vegas was mooted as a possibility, but my last trip there made me realise how seedy the place is and 5 times was enough!

However my first foray into Palm Springs was a delight! A small chic desert town with beautiful sunshine, lovely scenery and gorgeous restaurants and shopping. Exactly the kind of birthday getaway myself and my fabulous friends need. So I gave them all 2 years warning, and I am very pleased to say that many of them are flying out to California to spend my 40th birthday with me! What a lucky lady I am.

But I was never going to just go to Palm Springs...

So my itinerary for the 6 weeks is:

• Fly into New York
• Go on the Amtrack the next day to Washington DC for 2 nights
• Back to NY
• Then Mexico City 
• Then LA
• Palm Springs for my birthday
• Back to LA and Orange County

My departure date is getting ever closer and whilst you are enjoying your Easter roasts, I will be packing...
