Q & A from Vanity fair: All about Hawaii

[vivfox]

Where I Go: Stevie Nicks
The former Fleetwood Mac rocker, who recently wrapped a solo tour promoting her latest album, In Your Dreams, trades the stage for Hawaiian shores when her wild heart seeks respite.


Q&A by Anthony Rotunno and Dana Mathews

To get away from it all, I go to … Maui, Hawaii.

My favorite way to travel there is … flying on American Airlines.

My favorite place to stay is … I usually rent a house on the water in Napili.

My ideal travel companions are … as many of my best friends that are available to come!

When I’m in the mood for room service, my favorite order is … grilled fish, steamed vegetables, and the ever-present soy cappuccino.

My favorite place to indulge in an authentic Hawaiian meal is … the local farmers’ market, where I buy papayas, mangoes, and watermelon.

To stay in shape, my on-the-go fitness regime is … wherever I go—be it a hotel or a rental house—I always have a treadmill with me. I also have a Power Plate that I keep in storage in Maui.

My suitcase must absolutely contain … a set of Legna sheets, my favorite cashmere blanket, and an alpaca-covered hot-water bottle.

When it comes to luggage, I am an … overpacker.

The best-kept secret about Maui is … if I tell you, it won’t be a secret anymore!

When I’m in the mood for some retail therapy, I must visit … Front Street in Lahaina.

My favorite travel pastimes are … reading fashion magazines and sipping coffee on the lanai.

Upon arrival, I most look forward to … the magical sunsets. They’re different every night.

Upon departing, I am most happy to leave behind … nothing, but the thing I’m most not happy to leave behind is my Chinese-crested Yorkie.

Nice.

I'm surprised about the flying on American Airlines part though.

Why is that?

I just wouldn't think that would be a favorite thing to do. There was a stretch when I was using AA to get to Chicago almost every week and I was not that impressed. I've never flown to Hawaii through them, however.

I see. It was kind of an odd question, once she had identified Hawaii as her favorite place to go. Obviously most people don't take a boat there, so she would have sounded silly saying her favorite way to get there was by flying, period. Maybe she felt she had to add American Airlines to make it more of a real answer.

So Mama has power plates all across the mainland US and its "islands" lol idk why but that is funny

When it comes to luggage, I am an … overpacker.

I have been a loyal United flyer and this might get me to switch.

I detest American Airlines. I had the worst flying experience with them. The flight crew were unbelievably horrible. So much so, that I felt the need to contact/email the airline and tell them about my experience. I was on that flight with several friends, and they were also aghast at the crew's behavior.

Of all the airlines, it's so bizzare that Stevie would single them out. She must frequently fly internationally. I could think of several airlines that have a certain air of luxury far above American Airlines, which I equate with a Greyhound bus.

AA Airlines has filed for backruptcy. Apparently Stevie needs to fly AA more often.
