Our job is done. We've chosen our winners. Now they get to enjoy their 15 days of fame.
Since it's obvious from the miles they log that our Road Warriors get around, we decided to pick their brains - and their itineraries - and have them tell us which city they'd choose if we were to feature them in our signature Celebrated Weekend story. So, here, instead of Tom Cruise's L.A. or Gwyneth Paltrow's Madrid, we give you the skinny from some serious star fliers on where to eat, where to sleep, and much more in cities across the globe.

Central/Western Colorado

Start off in Boulder at the Celestial Seasonings Colorado Fac-
­tory Tour, which is free and includes fantastic samples. After­ward, head to the Dushambe Tea House for outstanding international cuisine in an amazing building. In Glenwood Springs, relax at the Hot Springs Lodge & Pool. The pool is heated year-round by natural hot springs. In Aspen, visit Explore Booksellers and Bistro for some hot tea and unique books. I'm a huge fan of downtown Fruita, eight miles west of Grand Junction. It's the home of Mike the Headless Chicken, and where you'll also find the Museum of Western Colorado's Dinosaur Journey Mu­seum. On the return trip to Denver, stay at the Vail Cascade Resort & Spa, which offers fantastic off-season specials, often including hour-long spa treatments as part of the room price. There are also two movie theaters in the hotel.

Hong Kong


Stay at The Peninsula hotel, and have your evening nightcap at Felix upstairs, which has some of the world's coolest bathrooms (at left). For shop­ping, The Mall at Pacific Place really has it all. To miss going back and forth on the Star Ferry is to miss out on all that is Hong Kong, and staying at The Peninsula makes it a necessary pleasure.
