Michael Kinsley Lands in Seattle
Condé Nast Traveler consumer news editor Wendy Perrin just heard from layover guinea pig Michael Kinsley this morning--from Seattle, where he arrived in time to catch last night's presidential debate. Read his recap on highlights from his past few days in Dubai, London, and Iceland on the Perrin Post.

Now that he's tested all six winning entries in our Layover Nation Contest, Mike must choose which he liked best. That lucky (or just plain savvy) person will win the grand prize: three nights for two at The Regent Palms Turks and Caicos (plus airfare from the U.S. or Canada).
The Palms resort is still as buzz-worthy as it was when it opened in 2005. Its 72 rooms--marble floors support custom-made mahogany furniture--are housed in five buildings that form a semicircle around an infinity pool. And what a pool: serpentine, bordered by circular beds, and with a swim-up bar and restaurant. More formal is Parallel 23, where newly appointed executive chef Torsten Rumprecht (formerly at La Semanna on St-Maarten) shows his culinary talents. And indulgence reaches its zenith at the 15,000-square-foot spa. Don't fret about the hurricane: The Palms has recovered beautifully.
If you were Michael Kinsley, which layover would you choose as the winner?
