Live It Up, Down Under
THIS MONTH: Blue Mountains, Australia
Where? Lilianfels Blue Mountains Resort & Spa in Katoomba, a 90-minute drive west of Sydney.
What? Wake up in the two-room Cloudmaker Suite, with a view across the Jamison Valley.
Why? The distinctive blue haze of this exotic area, over 3,000 feet above sea level, comes from microscopic droplets of oil, dispersed from eucalyptus trees, refracted in the sunlight.
The WOWfactor: Breakfast with the kangaroos (a guided hike where the butler brings along your breakfast).
