Maybe head for MonteNegro or the island of Provenza off the bay of Naples with the SO. Have also been invited to Georgia (the Eastern European one not the state in the US) which might be interesting culturally.
Anything to escape the August heat!

I have heard from many people how beautiful your country is and I would love to visit, however August is still very hot and I am also an 'infidel' who needs to escape from some of the restrictions of Ramadan. I would love to come over during the skiing season as I understand the slopes are challenging.

DK, we had a wonderful trip to Sri Lanka - have you been there before? There are 7 world heritage sites to see, tea plantations, wildlife reserve safaris, sea turtles, elephants, and beaches!

What's on your agenda???

Rather than just great and sprawling Palaces, where you could be anywhere London,Paris, Rome, wherever, although they have their uses. However, it all depends on what you are planning with your friend. Sight seeing? Eating out? Walking around? Or just spend time catching up on all the gossip.......
Spontaneity is the spice of life!

42nd to CPS. or what style you prefer. then choose a hotel in that respective area. Most new 4 or 5 star hotels below 14th are good and have a interesting clientel and neighborhood feel.

Funnily enough Bora, I have been discussing meeting a friend in NY in July! Can you recommend any good hotels? I haven't been to NY for a few years. The last time I went we stayed at Trump Towers on Central Park. The Barclay, Intercontinental comes highly recommended by BM's eldest. Any thoughts?
We could have a DF meet up
