The Rolling Stones' Invisible Wing at the Lord Nelson Inn

Where: 1515 South Park Street,, Halifax, NS, Canada, B3J 2L2

It's a fact, if the Rolling Stones are playing in town, So how do the hotels protect their ultra-famous guests? By putting in invisible wings apparently.

Even Halifax, Canada isn't safe for the Rolling Stones. Flying in on a private jet, the group was then whisked away to the Lord Nelson Inn & Suites where around 40 fans were waiting by the entrance--fans who have been trying to guess the Stones hotel for quite some time.. But the ever-elusive Lord Nelson kept their superstar guests a closely-guarded secret until they arrived.

Now that the word is out, how will the Stones' stay go unnoticed is the question. The hotel's general manager David Clark gives an aloof answer:

Clark wouldn't say how many rooms the Stones and their entourage are using, but he said their presence in the hotel will be discreet.

He said guests and patrons will not have access to the areas occupied by the Stones, but there won't be noticable barricades.

"Most people wouldn't even notice anything," said Clarke. "The way our system will work, you won't even know."

Ah-ha! So an invisible wing it is! In truth we don't know how their stay will go unnoticed but the hotel was booked solid long before the concert was announced so perhaps the Stones actually reserved the whole place.

Keltic Lodge, Nova Scotia

Where: 383 Middlehead Peninsula, Ingonish, NS, Canada, B0C 1L0

Aahhhhh Nova Scotia.

Wait...hmm...what it's in Nova Scotia?

Well, National Geographic Traveler has done the work scoping out this almost forgotten North American Island.

On Cape Breton, there's the 184-mile Cabot Trail, as one person described it,"Like California's Highway 1 with less traffic."

Premiere lodgings can be found at the Keltic Lodge in Ingonish Beach.

The hotel is located on a rocky cliff inside Cape Breton Highlands National Park, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

For golf freaks, the Highland Links nearby, was voted "Best Course in Canada" for 2003 by Score Golf mag.

Lastly, the hotel has a 2.5 mile trail that winds around the hotel grounds, with views to Scotland.

Just make sure you go between now and, say, the first of October. After October we are fairly sure Nova Scotia turns into the land of ice and snow, unlike California's Highway 1, which is full of traffic and sun year round.
