NEWSLETTER BEGINS HERE

We want you to have the time of your life.
Even if it’s only for a couple of hours.

Information. That’s what makes the difference between doing something well and just barely doing it. Each month, TriStarLimo brings you all kinds of useful information about all kinds of exciting things you might enjoy doing – we hope it gives you plenty of ideas, facts and specifics about how to get the most out of the Good Life. Use it now, make notes, store it away for future use. It’s all good.

This month, travel is on the itinerary with a look at 10 fabulous vacation possibilities all over the world, a review of the excitement of Atlantic City, and a primer on Woodbury Common and all the shopping opportunities that outrageous place holds for you. We’re also kicking off a new series on hotel destinations around the country, each month highlighting a different city or state and bringing you information about where to stay next time you go there.

Happy Fourth of July, from all of us to all of you. This month we celebrate the greatest country in the world, a place you can live the Good Life every day, no matter how you define it.

Still can't decide where to go for your family’s summer vacation? Liberty Travel just released the top 10 summer family destinations, so making up your mind should be a little easier.

This simple overview from About.com highlights each of the places – some exotic, some just plain fun – and includes links to sites and pages that will help you with all the necessary planning.

There’s a reason why Atlantic City is called "America's Favorite Playground" and why more than 37 million people went there last year. The city’s casinos are open 24 hours a day, waiting for you to try your luck and maybe go home a winner. They feature a dazzling array of games and slots and are literally alive with the possibility that you can hit the jackpot.

There’s also top headline entertainment, thrilling sports, world-class dining, excellent lodging and an atmosphere that’s second-to-none. It’s the perfect destination with a million dollars’ worth of reasons to check it out. And don’t forget – there’s no better way to get around easily and quickly in this wonderland than with a classy new Tri-Star limousine. Check out a preview of casinos and headline entertainment at I Love Atlantic City.

With 220 outlet stores in one of the loveliest shopping atmospheres around, Woodbury Common most definitely has something for everybody. Coach, Dolce & Gabbana, Escada, Fendi, Gap Outlet, Giorgio Armani, Gucci, Neiman Marcus, Last Call, Off 5th-Saks Fifth Avenue, Polo Ralph Lauren, Space (Prada, Miu Miu) Tod’s, Versace, Zegna – with all this and more than 200 other exciting shopping and browsing ideas, this is the place to do it all.
