Running Through Turin, Italy and London, England
This week "Let's Travel" Radio takes you to the 38th annual New York City Marathon along with an estimated 38,000+runners who ran the 26.4 mile course through all five-boroughs of the city. The women's winner was "Queen Paula", the British entry who holds the women's record time. Interestingly enough her team was managed by Nick Bitel who assures our listeners that next year's marathon in London will
offer adventurous travelers a chance to see the city's historical sights, all with in walking distance of the
race itself. You name it. Big Ben has been restored. The Parliament will allow visitors, and
London Bridge is just a short jog away. Restaurants, theatres, and some of the most diverse lodging in Europe are available. Nick tells us why. April 13, 2008 is the date.
From the Italian side, Pietro Chiabrera, who directs the marathon in Turin, Italy, gives us a bird's eye view of what to expect in their marathon which coincidentally falls on the very same date as the London one. Whether its 17th century architecture, hand-made chocolate savories, gourmet food and wine, and, of course, truffles for which his region is known for, there's a lot to see and do in Turin, or Torino as the natives pronounce. All of this and more this week on "LET'S TRAVEL" on the Tribeca Radio Network.

Women on the
Go
Today, more and more
women are leaving their loved ones behind and taking trips alone or with other

more open to different lifestyles and cultures. Guest Phyllis
Stoller, founder of The Women's Travel Club, says "one of the beauties of
traveling along for a woman is that she can take time to just focus on HERSELF
rather than taking care of everyone else. Phyllis has some great travel
tips not just for women on how to "negotiate a travel contract" when you're
traveling with a new friend. Guest, Melissa Zollo, an inspirational
speaker and writer, and an avid traveler herself also share some of her travel
secretes with us.
