Starting tomorrow, author, pundit, and Condé Nast Traveler contributor Michael Kinsley will jet off on his round-the-world adventure, blogging here on the DT as he goes.

It's the moment we've been waiting all summer for: Kinsley is about to test the six winning entries in our Airport Layover Contest. His itinerary: Seattle-Los Angeles-Auckland-Singapore-Dubai-Zurich-Amsterdam-London-Reykjavik-Copenhagen-Seattle. In L.A. he'll go to the beach, in Auckland he'll take a Segway tour of the city, in Dubai he'll hit the Mall of the Emirates for shopping and skiing, in Amsterdam he'll go to the Red Light District to smoke a joint, at Heathrow he'll dine at The Fat Duck in nearby Bray--IF we can get him off the wait list!--and in Reykjavik he'll soak in the Blue Lagoon.

As you may recall, each of the six finalists won a Palm Centro smartphone. But only one lucky winner will come away with the grand prize: three nights for two at The Regent Palms Turks and Caicos (plus air fare from the U.S. or Canada). The finalist who recommended the layover that ends up being Mike's absolute favorite will win the free trip.

Until then, everybody please wish him a bon voyage!
