Piers’s Pleasures
The ubiquitous TV presenter and talent show judge, Piers Morgan, has recently been doing a globetrotting series about three haunts of the rich and famous – Dubai, Monte Carlo and Hollywood.
But where does Piers, who’s now become rich and famous himself (at least, in the UK and US) like to hang out? One favourite is Antigua in the Caribbean where he told The Independent newspaper he likes to ‘eat fresh fish and drink Puligny-Montrachet under a stunning sunset.’
He also loves Los Angeles – ‘driving up Sunset Boulevard in my shades, listening to Aerosmith in my Aston Martin convertible on my way to the set of the TV show, ‘America’s Got Talent.’ That’s certainly a far cry from his first holiday – netting shrimps with his mother on Hastings beach on the south coast of England.
Where is this all leading? Well, two of Morgan’s favourite luxury hotels are available to the likes of you and me – through Luxique, of course. He says the Carlisle Bay resort in Antigua and the Beverly Wilshire hotel in Los Angeles are ‘very different, but magnificent.’
And Morgan’s top travel tip? Go light on clothes and heavy on technology. “You can survive anywhere in a pair of jeans, a white T-shirt and sandals, but nowhere without the right chargers.”
