Night On The Town In Cannes

After a long, LONG day spent meeting dozens of travel planners--tour firms, travel agents, villa rental companies, hoteliers, cruise lines--who've come from all over the world for the annual ILTM conference, our faces hurt from all the smiling and chatting. I asked Nina Wennersten, a safari specialist on our annual list of the world's best travel planners, to join the Conde Nast Traveler gang for dinner. We nursed our sore jaws and feet with Bellinis and curried lobster at Laffable and toasted the Hotel Martinez's concierge who recommended it.
Hard at work. Left to right: Me, Nina, Brook, and Marsha Miller of Conde Nast Traveler.
We returned to the Rue d'Antibes because I had one more shopping errand to do. My mother asked me to buy her some LaRoche-Posay sunblock recommended by her dermatologist. It costs $60 in New York; I paid $15 for it here.
Safari expert Nina Wennersten, who knows a thing or two about sunblock, advised me on my purchases.
Back at the Hotel Martinez, Jimmy McKissic was in the bar tickling the ivories, as he's been doing for the past 20 years. Love how he plays while deep in conversation, never once looking at the keyboard!
