Feeling inspired by Sarah Jessica Parker's poufy skirts? Be ready for packed hotels - New York travel is hot this year. And by the time Sex and the City is released in North America, European glamour queens will already be all over New York. The London premiere (complete with Carrie) happened Monday night, and the Berlin opening is tomorrow.

Sex and the City London Premiere: Zibi/WENNSex and the City London Premiere: Zibi/WENNGeorge Fertitta, CEO of NYC & Company (they run nycvisit.com) is excited about the movie's global scope: "It shows the texture, the glamour, the excitement, the fun, the nightspots and the shopping. So we're looking forward to the film and being able to remind everybody what an incredible place New York City is to live and of course to visit."

Until the movie comes out, I'm planning my NYC visit without the help of my favorite foursome. New York tourism is prepared for the flood of smart, sexy visitors the movie is bringing in. They're offering a guide to the hottest clubs, and they've dragged in scores of celebs to spread their secrets to doing New York like a pro.

The best part of their publicity stunt is that the celebs they've pulled in come from worlds beyond the silver screen. Ivanka Trump tells you how to do the city like a hot business woman, while the city's fashion elite give you the inside scoop on shopping the city like a pro. Unfortunately, the amount of walking involved means you might have to spend a little time in flats.

According to Julianne Moore, your feet aren't the only ones that'll get tired when you try to hit the pavement like a New Yorker. Her top tip for travelers is that "even if your kids say they want to walk, bring the stroller." Sounds like she's been stuck cutting her shopping short more than once.

  • On Canada Goes Green for St. Patrick's Day, Julia Rosien said "Great to meet you as well, Terri. And yes, we adore the Bay of Fundy :-) While I'll agree it's no longer parka weather in your neck of the woods, it's not quite string bikini weather either. Shall we toast to it and let the beer warm us up? Happy St Paddy's Day! Julia"

  • On Canada Goes Green for St. Patrick's Day, Terri said "hey Travel girls, great to hear that you love our Bay of Fundy here on the east coast of Canada as much as you love Tim Horton's ...and, as a Bay of Fundy chick, I love the green tide analogy. For sure, there will be lots of fun times down here around St Paddy's day but I just want to send you a correction to say you certainly won't be needing a parka? to visit at this time of year. It's +8 to +10 degress Celius (that's in the 50s F for our American friends) - definitely well above parka weather. haha So nice that the birds are chirping and the maple sap is flying out of the trees and, ultimately, on to our pancakes. Happy spring! Terri the Bay of Fundy blogger bayoffundy.blogspot.com "

  • On Bonaire - Landsailing or Diving, Ann Phelan said "I love when folks visit our island and immerse themselves in the very cool diversions offered..thanks for sharing."

  • On Tour Bus Crash in Tortola – Caribbean Princess Passenger Dies, Sad and heavy heart said "On a note about the roads of Totrola which are steep, and windy and narrow, all the more reason that tour vehicles should have regular safety checks, SEATBELTS (which dirvers should mandate use or not allow passengers to continue with the tour, driver's should go slow, and Princess Cruise Lines should do extensive background checks, and not hire people with the nick-name of Crash-Dummy."

  • On Tour Bus Crash in Tortola – Caribbean Princess Passenger Dies, Jan said "We were also on the ship with our friends, had spent the day at the beach in Tortola where the slider on my Omega came off, "broke" and lost. I had just purchased it on board the ship the day prior. But nothing can compare to the loss of a family member. The Captain had everyones attention for the announcement. Captain Draper done a great job informing the passengers of the accident. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Rumphrey family."
