“Well that was extraordinary”

“Well, that was extraordinary. About a year ago our brother-in-law casually invited us to tag along on a family trip in Africa. Our kick-ass nephew Dawit was adopted from Ethiopia five years ago and the whole pack of nephews (four in all: Jack — 19, Luke — 17, Dawit — 15 and Josh — 14) and Steve’s sister Chris and brother-in-law John were all going to Ethiopia to visit with Dawit’s birth family, and were then headed to Botswana to go on a safari. Did we want to go? Steve was unflinchingly a yes vote, and I hedged for 5 minutes and then realized it was a once-in-a-lifetime offer. This is likely the last gasp with the pack of nephews in one place before they scatter to adulthood, and the chance to go to Africa with them on the heels of a visit to Dawit’s motherland? A true wouldn’t-miss-it opportunity. So, Africa we booked! We hadn’t ever planned on going to Africa, and certainly not for a safari (Expensive! Far! How much more impressive could animals be?) but we paid our deposit and figured the year-from-now day would come.”

Today Sicily is part of Italy, but over the last several thousand years, the largest island in the Mediterranean has been host to the Greek, Roman, and Arab empires, along with nearly every other major European power from the Middle Ages through the Renaissance. Italy is a traveler’s paradise, but when Italians want to get away, they often go to Sicily. Here are some of our favorite reasons why.

Climb an active volcano Take a jeep tour on Mt. Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe outside the Caucasus and one of the world’s most active volcanoes. Don helmets and torches and explore craters and underground lava flows.

Stay in a palazzo You’ll find idyllic villas all along Sicily’s rocky coast, many of which have been converted into hotels and guesthouses. For less than the cost of a standard hotel room in Rome, you can spend a night in 14 th -century luxury with sweeping views of the Mediterranean.

Search for buried treasure Sicily rivals Greece and Israel for unearthing historic artifacts and boasts seven UNESCO World Heritage sites. Visit Siracusa, Taormina, Catania, and Agrigento to discover ancient theaters, cathedrals and temples, fortified ports, and historic hilltop villages.

Eat the world’s first cannoli Originating in Palermo in 1000 A.D., the cannoli was invented by the Arabic Saracens people—who first brought sugar cane to Sicily—and is believed to have been prepared as a fertility symbol during Carnevale season.

Insider Tip: Sicily’s summer arrives early and leaves late, providing ample opportunity to soak up the Mediterranean sun along 1,200 kilometers of coastline.

Fun fact: The indigenous Nero d’Avola, Grillo, and Zibibbo grapes are putting Sicily on the world winemaking map.

Despite Israel’s small geographic size, it remains one of the richest cultural destinations on the planet. Start in the bustle and beauty of Jerusalem, and then hit the road for an adventure of biblical proportion.

Jerusalem:  The spiritual and cultural center of the world’s three major religions has endured through most of recorded history and continues to enchant travelers from around the globe.  

Golan Heights:  Take a jeep tour across the rocky plateau and learn about the complexity of the Golan and its strategic relationship to Israel’s Syrian and Lebanese neighbors.

Safed:  One of Judaism’s four holy cities and home to Kaballah (Jewish mysticism), it has the highest elevation in Israel and offers breathtaking views of the Galilee.

Ramon Crater:  Created 220 million years ago in the Negev desert, the world’s largest erosion crater remains one of the planet’s most spectacular geologic formations.

Caesarea Maritima:  Built as a Roman seaport around 20 BCE, King Herod the Great’s architectural achievement is still one of the most beautiful cities of the ancient world.

Acre (Akko):  One of the oldest continuously inhabited-settlements on Earth, the medieval Old City was a major destination during the Crusades.

Insider Tip:  Foodies should head to Machane Yehuda Market in Jerusalem for a tasting tour of world cuisine.

Fun fact:  Israel north to south (Haifa to Eilat) measures just 270 miles and can be driven in 4-1/2 hours.

Covering 400,000 square miles at the southern end of South America, Patagonia is quite literally the end of the earth. The vast region has coasts on three oceans, is divided between Chile and Argentina by the Andes Mountains, and includes the archipelago of Tierra del Fuego, which extends into the Southern Ocean just 1,000 km north of Antarctica.

Chilean Patagonia is known for its jagged peaks and glacial fjords. It’s one of the last truly wild places on Earth, and more than one explorer has entered the region never to return. But its beauty continues to lure would-be adventurers, and traveling there is half the fun.

Southern Chile is largely uninhabited. Its rocky coastline, dense forests, and frozen ice fields are home to more horses than people, and travel by 4×4, kayak, or on foot is the best way to explore. This is a trekker’s paradise, and you’ll find plenty of companies offering guided trips into Torres del Paine national park, where new adventures are only a step away.

Insider Tip: Completed in 2018, the Carretera Austral is an all-weather roadway that runs through the Patagonia National Parks Network, a 2,400 km stretch that includes 17 national parks.

Fun fact: The glaciers in Chile make up 80% of the glacier coverage in South America, and the most beautiful ones can be found in San Rafael National Park.

The very word “Bali” conjures up notions of pleasure, sanctuary, and spiritual enlightenment. For thousands of years, it has lured sailors, adventurers, and soul seekers with its idyllic beaches and mythical promises. But today, its exotic song can be heard around the world, and its hidden allure is well within reach.

Often considered the crown jewel in the Indonesian archipelago, Bali (just eight degrees south of the equator) boasts perfect beach weather year-round. Luxurious resorts and surf towns alike cater to tourists, making Bali one of the most hospitable destinations in the world.

But its inner beauty is perhaps what attracts the most travelers. Perched among highland peaks, many of Bali’s ancient temple complexes are still in use, providing ample opportunity to experience the mystical beauty of traditional prayer and religious festivals. Ubud, a small town in the heart of the island, is nestled among terraced rice paddies and villages that specialize in Balinese arts and crafts.

If you’re not already convinced, then consider this: Bali is also one of the most affordable destinations. An over-supply of hotels and steadily increasing inflation have resulted in tremendous value for the American dollar. Offering some of the world’s best restaurants and spas, Bali is sure to live up to your dreams.

Insider Tip: Indulge in a beach massage. It’s much less expensive than visiting a spa, and most masseuses are willing to bargain!

Fun fact: Warungs (street-side food stalls) offer traditional Balinese cuisine and are the best places to mingle with the locals.

The Irrawaddy River snakes through Myanmar (previously known as Burma) among Himalayan glaciers and alluvial plains for 1,300 miles before reaching the Indian Ocean. The main transportation thoroughfare since the middle ages, the Irrawaddy (also known as the Ayeyarwady) is largely unchanged today: ox plows and bullock carts line the riverbanks, and tiered pagodas and thatched homes rise along the hillsides.

Considered one of the most beautiful rivers in the world, the Irrawaddy is the best way to explore Myanmar’s ancient cities and steep yourself in the timeless culture of forgotten lands. Devotional chanting can be heard from waterside monasteries in the World Heritage Site of Bagan, home of more than 2,000 temples and pagodas built by kings dating back to the ninth century.

Unlike ocean cruises among far-flung destinations, river cruising puts you at the center of a place, providing intimate views of local life. During the day, rivers come alive with the bustle of daily activities, while at night, passengers settle into the rhythm of the calm flow of the current.

You can sail the Irrawaddy in a multitude of vessels, providing various levels of cruising style. From polished teak and brass steamers to 20-cabin luxury yachts, day boats to private charters, you will explore life as travelers have for thousands of years.

Insider Tip: The best time to visit Myanmar is during the dry season, October through March, when river levels and the humidity are lower.

Fun fact: Donald M. Stadtner’s Sacred Sites of Burma recounts the rich history of Buddhist sites along the Irrawaddy River.

Mountain gorillas, the largest primates on the planet, have long fascinated travelers and scientists alike. Now numbering less than 1,000, primarily due to poaching and habitat loss, these majestic animals are finding new hope.

Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park is leading the charge to protect its indigenous primates through carefully regulated tours guided by National Park Rangers. Group tours are limited in size and duration to protect the animals and their habitat, and the revenue from ecotourism is making visiting the mountain gorillas a more profitable enterprise than hunting them.

Mountain gorillas are nomadic and wild, and their habitats can be remote. Going on a gorilla trek is not like other African jeep-driven safaris—hikes are often strenuous and can last from one to six hours, as your guides lead you through dense forest and to elevations of 7,500 feet. But the reward of discovering a hidden family of gorillas in its native habitat is well worth the trip.

Volcanoes National Park is located in Kigali, where most travelers venture into the vibrant culture of the local markets, as well as visit the Kigali Genocide Memorial Centre, the site of the Rwandan Genocide of 1994.

Kenya is a short flight away, and there you can continue your search for endangered species—including black rhinos and elephants—among the high plains of Laikipia and the Maasai Mara.

Insider Tip: Visitors to Kigali can also purchase permits to trek for golden monkeys, an endemic species to the Albertine Rift montane forests of Volcanoes National Park.

Fun fact: Rwandan coffees are gaining prominence among their long-popular African neighbors, and a burgeoning coffee tourism industry is also helping to protect Rwanda’s natural lands.

Once the gateway to the New World for European sailors, Portugal—perched on the western edge of the Iberian Peninsula—invites American travelers to a land where the Atlantic, the Mediterranean, Europe, and Africa meet.

Here you’ll find historic explorers, maritime delicacies, sumptuous wines, and Europe’s sunniest capital city. And if these weren’t reasons enough to pack your bags, Portugal is also one of the Continent’s most affordable destinations, offering Western European elegance at Eastern European prices.

Beyond the old-world charm of Lisbon—with its wooden trams and baroque facades—terraced hills descend to rocky beaches along the serene coast. Modern explorers will delight in the fairytale palaces of nearby Sintra, Evora, and Arraiolos. And history buffs still make pilgrimage to Fátima, famed for its alleged sighting of the Virgin Mary.

If you’re a wine enthusiast, venture north to the enchanted vineyards of the Douro Valley (about a four-hour drive from Lisbon) and Porto, Portugal’s second city, known for the centuries-old fortified wine that bears its name.

Insider Tip: 850 miles west of mainland Portugal (just a 2.5-hour flight from Lisbon) lie the Azores, a chain of volcanic mountain islands whose wild, hidden allure is well worth the trip.

Fun fact: With the continuous rolling swell of the Atlantic Ocean, Portugal is one of Europe’s best (and least crowded) surfing destinations.

Second in size in South America only to Brazil, Argentina dominates the continent with offerings larger than life—towering Andes in the west, endless Atlantic coastline to the east, and the sprawling glacial plains of southern Patagonia. For some, this is literally the end of the Earth, and for hundreds of years people across the globe have traveled here to lose themselves in a spectacular setting.

But every journey to Argentina begins in its fiery heart, Buenos Aires—a city of brazen gauchos, sensual tango, and world-class cuisine. Take a dance lesson in San Telmo and stroll through storybook streets of Spanish colonial architecture. And when you’ve had your fill of city life, head out of town and discover a land waiting to be explored.

Mendoza: Argentina’s most highly-rated Malbec wines originate from Mendoza’s high-altitude wine regions of Lujan de Cuyo and the Uco Valley, located 1.5 hours by plane west of Buenos Aires in the eastern foothills of the Andes.

Bariloche: Winter ski resort and summer mountain retreat, Bariloche is also the launch point for the only water passage through the Andes, a breathtaking cruise through the lakes district along the Chilean border that will take you to places few have seen.

Perito Moreno: Soaring 240 feet above the sea, 19 miles long and still growing, the Perito Moreno Glacier in Patagonia’s Los Glaciares National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site. If you had to pick just one glacier to visit in your life, we’d recommend this one!

Insider Tip: Visit El Zanjon de Granados, a series of old tunnels, sewers, and cisterns built in the 18 th century, which lie beneath modern Buenos Aires and provide the base for one of the city’s oldest settlements.

Fun fact: In the last decade, archaeologists in Argentina have made multiple discoveries of gigantic dinosaurs, Giganotosaurus —a genus of theropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period approximately 98 to 97 million years ago.

With over 1,100 islands and 300 miles of the most stunning coastline in Europe, Croatia’s southern Dalmatian Coast is a gem that is finally gaining international attention. Shimmering walled cities rise up out of the Adriatic Sea against a backdrop of staggering mountain peaks. Secluded lagoons offer private paradise, while Turkish, Slavic, and Hungarian flavors infuse fresh catches from the sea. The best way to enjoy the postcard scenery is by boat, stopping along the way to explore the old-world splendor and natural treasures.

Dubrovnik: Take a walk above the terra cotta rooftops of the old town for beautiful vantage points of the perfectly preserved medieval city (recently featured in the Game of Thrones TV series) with its marble streets and historic 16 th -century battlements. Easy day trips can be made to neighboring Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro.

Split: A visit to Croatia’s second-largest city must include Diocletian’s Palace, the acclaimed art gallery of Ivan Mestrovic, and Europe’s third-oldest Jewish synagogue still in use. Less than an hour away is the beautiful artist colony of Trogir. And intrepid travelers will not want to miss the terraced lakes and stunning waterfall hikes of Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia’s rugged interior.

Insider Tip: Meander through the cobblestone streets of northern fishing port Rovinj (near the border of Italy), explore the scenic countryside by bicycle, and hunt for truffles with the locals.

Fun fact: While the region has been known as Dalmatia since Imperial Roman times, the Dalmatian dog breed’s origins have officially been recognized as Croatian with illustrations dating back to the 17th century.

There are few places on the planet that have captivated the imagination of travelers more than Machu Picchu. Owing to its remote location, impressive architecture, glorious mountain views, and fame as the fabled “Lost City of the Incas,” it remains one of our must-do destinations. But there’s much to experience in Peru beyond Cusco and the Sacred Valley.

In the North As the Andes descend to the West, Peru becomes home to the Amazon Basin, rainforest and jungle wetlands that occupy nearly two-thirds of the country and drain into the Amazon, the world’s second-longest river. The best way to travel is by boat, exploring countless tributaries to discover the more than 50,000 plant, 1,700 bird, 400 mammal, and 300 reptile species living there.

In the South South of Cusco, the Andes are at their widest, rising above the horizon on a high desert plain known in Spanish as the Altiplano, the most extensive area of high plateau on Earth outside Tibet. This is the homeland of llama herds, the Aymara (indigenous pre-Colombians who fought against Incan rule), and Lake Titicaca, the largest and deepest lake in South America and the highest navigable lake in the world.

Insider Tip: Lima, the coastal capital of Peru, is a foodie paradise, specializing in fresh seafood and ceviche and traditional pre-Colombian staples like potatoes, quinoa, alpaca, and guinea pig.

Fun fact: While the elevation of Cusco is over 11,000 feet, Machu Picchu, located 75 km to the northwest, is just under 8,000 feet.

In the last few years, Iceland has topped the bucket lists of travelers worldwide. But the mythic land of fire and ice has long been overlooked. Shrouded in tales of arctic winters and mystic sagas, Iceland’s attributes are finally coming to light. And when you consider all that it has to offer, you can easily see why.

Top 5 Myths About Iceland:

Myth: Iceland is mostly covered in snow and ice. While Iceland boasts spectacular views of snow-capped volcanic peaks and ice age glaciers, in summer the landscape is covered with green pastures, grazing ponies and sheep, endless wildflowers, and abundant streams and waterfalls.

Myth: Iceland is very far away. Reykjavik (the capital city) is only four hours ahead of New York City and a five-hour flight away, and nonstop flights are even available from Boston, Orlando, San Francisco, and Seattle.

Myth: Traveling around Iceland is difficult. While trips into the highlands require special 4×4 vehicles, most of Iceland’s sights are accessible along the Ring Road, a well-maintained highway that circles the entire country.

Myth: It takes weeks to explore Iceland. Iceland is only about the size of Virginia, and though you could easily spend months winding through fjords and trekking into the interior, a four-night stopover in Reykjavik will not disappoint.

Myth: Iceland is only for nature enthusiasts and the adventurous. It is true that those seeking gorgeous landscapes and outdoor adventure will never run out of things to do. But be sure to savor Iceland’s 1,000-year-old history, countless museums, and a foodie scene of local farm-to-table cuisine and craft beers that rivals the rest of Europe.

Insider Tip: The best soft serve vanilla ice cream is made locally by Emmessis, and is sold at all the gas stations and convenience stores.

Fun fact: The Icelandic language is a direct descendant of Old Norse, brought to Iceland around 900 A.D. by the Vikings.

The Southern Hemisphere’s polar cap is truly a mythical place. An isolated continent twice the size of Australia and the largest single mass of ice on earth, Antarctica wasn’t officially discovered until 1820. Nearly 1000 kilometers by boat from South America across the Drake Passage, the roughest stretch of water in the world, reaching the continent is an adventure in itself.

Many travelers opt for the famous sea journey, but today you can also reach Antarctica by air. Once there, embark on a sea expedition, sailing through icy fjords and past mountainous icebergs. Visit penguin and seal colonies and follow migrating whale pods. Explore the natural landscape led by expert polar guides. And retrace the historic routes of the world’s most intrepid explorers..

Antarctica’s History of Exploration: 1773 – British Captain James Cook crosses the Antarctic Circle but never finds land. 1820 – Russian Captain Thaddeus Bellingshausen makes the first sighting of the continent. 1911 – Norwegian Roald Amundsen is the first explorer to reach the South Pole. 1915 – British Ernest Shackleton attempts to complete the first crossing of the continent. 1958 – British Vivian Fuchs leads the first successful land crossing via the South Pole. 1997 – Norwegian Boerge Ousland becomes the first person to cross Antarctica unsupported.

Insider Tip: Plan to visit during the Northern Hemisphere’s winter, summertime in Antarctica.

Fun fact: The South Pole is one of the world’s best places for astronomical observation: the moments that followed the Big Bang were recorded there in 2014.

Napa and Sonoma counties in northern California have reigned as America’s wine country. But the high costs, commercialized vineyards, and long lines of tourists can overshadow the experience. So look north to Oregon, where you’ll discover hidden gems of natural beauty, rugged adventure, and the best Pinot noir outside of Paris.

Oregon has long been known by recreationists for its towering sand dunes, pristine rivers, and secluded, rocky beaches. And savvy travelers are now beginning to connect their culinary passions with outdoor pleasure. Choose from luxurious spas, wilderness lodges, or rustic ranches as you pamper, indulge, dine, and discover along the road less traveled.

  • Fly fish and paddle the white water canyons of the Deschutes and Rogue rivers.
  • Hike the volcanic rim trails of Crater Lake National Park in the Cascade Mountains.
  • Explore the exotic marine life of Yachats and majestic rock formations of Cannon Beach.
  • Enjoy theatrical productions, art galleries, museums, and local crafts in Ashland.
  • Sip extraordinary wines on a gastronomical tour of Willamette Valley vineyards.

Insider Tip: Try windsurfing, kitesurfing, and paddleboarding in Hood River’s harbor, known as the windsurfing capital of the world.

Fun fact: Oregon’s Willamette Valley was awarded the 2016 Wine Region of the Year by Wine Enthusiast Magazine.

For most travelers, the city of Bangkok conjures visions of bohemia, a mystical pleasure palace from a forgotten time. And while Bangkok offers myriad delights, we suggest avoiding the hustle and bustle and fast-food tourism of the world’s second-most congested city. Instead, head to the far northern provinces of the Golden Triangle or to the pristine beaches of the southern Malay Peninsula.

In the North Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai—long known for their reclusive mountain temples, endless rice fields, and indigenous tribal cultures—still hold the secrets of ancient Siam. Here you can travel by elephant, explore sacred sites, and “glamp” in luxurious tented camps. Head further north still and enter the Golden Triangle, where Thailand, Myanmar and Laos meet. Make a special visit to the hill tribe villages of the Karen, or “long-necked people,” where centuries-old customs continue to thrive.

In the South South of Bangkok, Thailand quickly narrows as you enter the Malay Peninsula. With the Gulf of Thailand to the east and the Andaman Sea to the west, beachgoers and adventure seekers have hundreds of islands from which to choose. Rock climb the towering limestone karsts of Krabi, dive the underwater paradise of Ko Tao, or simply bask in the unequivocal beauty of Ko Phi Phi.

Insider Tip: Stop for lunch at an open-air roadside stand and sample home-cooked local fare. From whole roasted fish to spice-laden soups and sweet coconut delights, you’ll discover recipes that haven’t changed in a thousand years.

Fun fact: Traders from southern India brought curry spices and powders to Thailand as long ago as 200 B.C.

For a small Central American country, Costa Rica offers incredible biodiversity. From its white and black sand beaches along the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean to its cloud and rain forests, Costa Rica is a top destination for solo travelers, couples, and families. It’s easy to see why the country’s motto is Pura Vida, which translates to “enjoy life.”

Discover why more than 2.5 million people journey here annually:

  • Exotic wildlife  — Costa Rica has the greatest number of animals—more than 200 species of mammals, 850 species of birds, and 200 species of reptiles—per square kilometer than anywhere else in the world. Indigenous animals include howler and capuchin monkeys, the resplendent quetzals, Baird’s tapirs, and jaguars.
  • Arenal Volcano National Park  — While the volcano stopped erupting regularly six years ago, the park should remain on your “must do” list. There are many hikes and other activities in proximity to the volcano. Don’t miss taking a soak in the natural hot springs located here.
  • Cloud forest  — The country’s unique geography and ecology creates some interesting microclimates throughout the interior. Located higher than the rain forest, the cloud forest’s altitude creates a mist that envelopes the trees and the area’s high ridges and deep canyons.
  • Adventure sports  — One of the best ways to explore the interior is from the air. Soar to new heights by ziplining, canyoning, walking over hanging bridges, or rappelling down waterfalls. Or raft down one of the country’s 14 river systems—there are many options depending on what size rapids you want.
  • Surfing  — Costa Rica attracts surfers from all over the globe thanks to world-class waves found along both the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean. It’s also a great place for first-timers who want to take a lesson!

A good time to visit is January through April during the dry season.

Insider tip: All Costa Rican restaurants automatically add a 10% gratuity—on top of the 13% tax. Tipping is optional, but is certainly welcome if a server exceeds expectations.

Fun fact: Costa Ricans claim a very high literacy rate of 96%. A national radio station broadcasts lessons to children who live in rural areas too far from schools.

Going on safari tops many vacation bucket lists. One of the top destinations is South Africa thanks to its temperate weather year-round. The country boasts an abundance of private game reserves employing expert trackers, field guides, and drivers. And because these lands aren’t open to the public, visitors are assured interactions with the “Big Five”—lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo—instead of a multitude of tourists.

Many private game reserves are home to safari camps, featuring luxury lodges with 5-star service and “tents” resplendent with amenities found at the world’s top resorts. These camps also offer extraordinary access to wildlife—guests can relax in private plunge pools as giraffes and other bush animals graze within reach.

Another can’t-miss spot in South Africa is Cape Town. One of the world’s most beautiful cities, Cape Town features mountains, beaches, and harbors with activities to fit any itinerary—hiking or taking a cable car to the top of Table Mountain, sunbathing with penguins on Boulders Beach, swimming with sharks, or visiting Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned.

From its wild landscapes to its cities, South Africa provides travelers a memorable and exhilarating adventure guaranteed to impress any bucket-lister.

Insider tip:  Cape Town’s The Test Kitchen is a dining experience not to be missed—but make a reservation early as it books up months in advance!

Fun fact:  South Africa has 11 official languages: Afrikaans, English, Ndebele, Northern Sotho, Sotho, Swazi, Tsonga, Tswana, Venda, Xhosa, and Zulu.

As a travel agency in Miami, we’re often asked about Cuba. And finally, with the lifting of the 1960 U.S. embargo, American tourists can more easily visit. It’s a great time to start planning a trip for this winter or spring (December through May) to avoid hurricane season.

Since many aspects of the island are unspoiled by modernization, visiting Cuba is like going back in time. The only cars legally owned by Cuban citizens date back to the 1950s, there is limited Internet service, and you’ll find no American fast food restaurants or retail chains.

The best way to explore Cuba will be by sea on one of several upscale cruise lines that will begin sailing there later this year. You’ll travel and sleep in world-class comfort aboard a luxury ship or private yacht, as hotel options in Cuba are basic and limited. Then disembark at various ports to tour cigar factories, sugar cane plantations and discover the history, music and arts of both indigenous and Spanish cultures.

But make sure to plan your trip soon, before tourism takes over and Cuba becomes more commercially developed. This country won’t remain undiscovered for long!

Insider Tip: Dine al fresco in a garden setting featuring peacocks and ocean views at the Hotel Nacional in Havana. Travel an hour south to visit Las Terrazas, an eco-village and biosphere reserve protected by UNESCO.

Fun fact: Ballerinas are so popular and highly regarded in Cuba that they earn more than doctors!

If you’re thinking about a trip “down under,” consider New Zealand, just a four-hour plane ride from Southeastern Australia. Due to its location in the Southern Hemisphere, its seasons are opposite those in the U.S., so now is the optimal time to plan a winter getaway. Whatever level of adventure you’re seeking—from heart-thumping thrills to breathtaking vistas—Queenstown, New Zealand is the ultimate destination.

Located at the edge of crystal blue Lake Wakatipu and surrounded by mountains, scenic Queenstown sets the stage. Hike or camp along the magnificent alpine Routeburn Trail. Sip champagne on a glacier. Jet down a gorge by speedboat. Enjoy spectacular wines from local vineyards. Or immerse yourself in the funky vibe of Queenstown’s fine dining, shopping, art galleries and nightlife.

Whether you pack your hiking boots or dancing shoes, Queenstown is the perfect fit for every sense of adventure.

Insider Tip: Head to Fergburger for the best burgers in town. It’s worth waiting in line!

Fun fact: New Zealand is home to the world’s smallest dolphin species and clearest body of water, Blue Lake.

“Thanks to Gold Star Travel, we’ve cruised the Caribbean, explored the cobbled streets of Europe and found romance in the remote beauty of California. But it’s Sheryl’s personal recommendations that make the trips so memorable. When I needed a haircut in Venice, Italy, Sheryl sent me to Benito, an amazing local barber. We have never gotten this level of service from anyone else, and we’d never plan a vacation without Gold Star Travel!”

“Gold Star Travel has been our sole travel agent for close to 30 years. And hands down, Sheryl Gold is the very best in her field! Personal, efficient and customized service—not to mention the occasional troubleshooting—are the cornerstones of Gold Star Travel.”

“You don’t know what you’re missing if you haven’t planned a trip with Gold Star Travel! On our family vacation to New Zealand and Australia, each experience was more spectacular than the last. From the helicopter landing on a glacier to a wild boat ride on the gorge to New Year’s Eve at the Sydney Opera House, it was the most amazing journey of our lives. We look forward to our next Gold Star Travel trip of a lifetime.”

“Sheryl Gold is one of those agents who travelers really need on their side because of how deeply she cares about her clients. Working with her to build a personalized itinerary is comparable to starting a painting destined to become a masterpiece. With her sense of humor, she makes the entire process truly enjoyable and is an absolute delight.”

“Sheryl’s extensive knowledge and network spans the globe, and she has sent us to destinations ranging from Poland to Easter Island. She is very responsive, really listens to what we want and always makes the perfect suggestions. It is nice to have such total confidence in someone. We can’t recommend her highly enough!”

“Gold Star Travel has been at the top of their game for the two decades we’ve been working with them. We are consistently impressed with their thorough attention to detail and first-hand knowledge of the top Central American destinations. Their highly-trained specialists are meticulous in qualifying a client’s needs and wants, making the custom tailoring of our getaways the perfect fit.”

“For more than a decade, Sheryl Gold has been indispensable in providing customized luxury travel planning services for me and my companions. Her professionalism, attention to detail, seasoned experience and great disposition have helped to create lasting memories. I wouldn't plan any travel without her!

“I have been using Gold Star Travel for business and personal travel for more than 30 years. Because Sheryl has visited so many destinations herself, my vacations are filled with her personal recommendations, which ensures I am always dining at the best restaurants and visiting all the local hot spots.”

“Sheryl helped us realize our dreams by planning our trip to Croatia and Slovenia where we explored the Dalmatian coast by yacht. We enjoyed a private tour to a winery, performances by local musicians and a farm-to-table luncheon at a 500-year-old farmhouse. Every detail was planned and executed precisely. It was the smoothest and least stressful trip we have ever taken!”

“In over two decades working together, I have found Sheryl to be a true travel professional. It is uncanny how she always plans the perfect vacation to fit her clients’ dreams and desires! With her extensive world knowledge and attentiveness to detail, she is a rare luxury in today’s travel market.”

“For more than 30 years, Gold Star Travel has been sending its most discerning clients to our exclusive seafront property in Positano, Italy. Sheryl possesses a passion for travel and a special gift for catering to her clients’ needs. We respect and admire her for the dedicated efforts she makes on behalf of her clientele.”

World 9 Difficulty Levels

World 9 difficulty 1, world 9 difficulty 2, world 9 difficulty 3, world 9 difficulty 4, best paths for world 9, the hunt path.

Star Rail - Simulated Universe Path Resonance The Hunt

The Hunt is the best path for clearing World 9 since its Blessings provide buffs that allow DPS to deal tons of DMG. Its Path Resonance can also damage the Sombrous Sepulchers summoned by the Memory Zone Meme - Something Unto Death .

We recommend collecting enough Hunt Blessings to unlock Resonance Formations Star Hunter and Perfect Aim to be able to destroy the summoned Sombrous Sepulchers quickly.

Path of The Hunt Guide

Nihility and Elation Path

Other Paths are also viable for World 9 if your team can fully utilize the Path's full potential. Nihility is a great Path for clearing World 9 if you are running a DoT team with a Wind DPS. Elation will also work if your team consists of DPS with follow-up attacks .

Collect The Doctor's Robe and Faith Bond Curios

Look for The Doctor's Robe Curio so that your Path Resonance will deal more DMG against all enemies. You can also get the Faith Bond Curio to upgrade your Blessings at a cheaper price!

  • List of All Curios

Best Characters for World 9

Best teams for world 9, free to play team.

Dan Heng will be the DPS while Yukong and Asta buff his DMG with their abilities. Specifically, Yukong can increase the party's ATK and CRIT stats. Asta will then provide some SPD and more ATK buffs.

Natasha will then be the team's healer and will try to keep the team alive using her Skill and Ultimate.

Do note that this team is strictly an F2P team, if you have other characters that can be used instead of the ones listed above, do not hesitate to bring them!

Optimal Teams

Imaginary hyper carry team.

Since Memory Zone Meme - Something Unto Death is weak to Imaginary, the best team you can use against it includes Dan Heng - Imbibitor Lunae as the DPS due to his strong single target and AoE DMG.

Since Dan Heng - Imbibitor Lunae is SP hungry, Sparkle will be his best Support since she can feed him Skill Points and DMG buffs. Silver Wolf is part of the team to inflict several debuffs to the Memory Zone Meme - Something Unto Death such as DEF reduction.

Lastly, Luocha is the best healer for this team since he can heal without spending any Skill Points.

Nihility DoT Team

If you want to use a DoT team, then Black Swan is the best DPS to use against Memory Zone Meme - Something Unto Death since it is weak to Wind. You can add Sampo as the sub-DPS to increase the DoT taken by enemies and provide Wind Shear DoTs.

Asta can be the team's support since she can buff the party's SPD and ATK. Huohuo being the healer allows the DPS' DMG to increase due to the ATK buff from her Ultimate. Also, she can provide some Energy to recharge their Ultimates.

Fire Follow-Up Attack Team

With a team that relies on follow-up attacks, its DPS should be Himeko and Topaz. Himeko will be the main DPS dealing AoE DMG while Topaz increase any DMG from follow-up attacks.

Like the team above, Asta will support her allies by giving them ATK and SPD buffs. Huohuo will be the healer to provide ATK buffs and recharge some Energy.

Imaginary Follow-Up Attack Team

Dr. Ratio is a solid single-target DPS who can defeat any enemy in World 9 with ease since most of them are weak to Imaginary.

Add in Topaz and Aventurine to double down on follow-up attacks and have no issues dealing with the Memory Zone Meme - Something Unto Death and its summons.

A solid support to add to the team is Silver Wolf since she can implant tons of debuffs into an enemy, increasing Dr. Ratio's chances of dishing out Follow-Up attacks.

How to Beat Something Unto Death - World 9 Boss

Beware of the morbid dream debuff.

Memory Zone Meme - Something Unto Death has several abilities that inflict your characters with Morbid Dream, instantly killing them . To avoid this, attempt to Weakness Break the boss during its Sunset state so the debuff will be dispelled.

No Weakness During Nightfall State

Honkai Star Rail - Memory Zone Meme

When Memory Zone Meme - Something Unto Death enters its Nightfall state , it gains the Weakness Protected effect, so you cannot Weakness Break it . In the Nightfall state, attempt to defeat the boss before it inflicts Morbid Dream.

If Memory Zone Meme - Something Unto Death successfully inflicts Morbid Dream, you can revive your characters by defeating the Sombrous Sepulchers. Do note that when all of your characters get inflicted with Morbid Dream, you will lose the battle !

Prioritize the Sombrous Sepulchers

Honkai Star Rail - Sombrous Sepulchers

After a character gets inflicted with Morbid Dream , Memory Zone Meme - Something Unto Death summons a Sombrous Sepulcher . Defeating the Sepulcher revives the character with Morbid Dream and regenerates their HP and Energy.

Depending on the number of stacks of the Memory Zone Meme - Something Unto Death's Elegy buff , a Sombrous Sepulcher needs a certain instance of damage for all of their charges to deplete.

Use DoTs or Inflict Weakness Break

Inflicting them with DoTs will accelerate their defeat since one tick of a DoT is equivalent to an instance of damage. Also, inflicting Weakness Break on a Sombrous Sepulcher instantly deals two instances of damage, so take advantage of this mechanic as well.

Use Path Resonance That Has Damage

Sombrous Sepulchers will be damaged from any Path Resonance that deals damage. So, use Path Resonance on the summoned Sombrous Sepulchers!

World 9 Rewards

Planar ornament rewards.

Relics and Planar Ornaments Guide

First Time Clearance Rewards

You can only claim the First Time Clearance rewards once after clearing the stage for the first time.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

Princess Cruises' Star Princess ship delayed, 9 sailings canceled

9 star travel

Travelers will have to wait longer than planned to sail on Princess Cruises’ upcoming ship.

The delivery of Star Princess, which was set to debut next summer, will be pushed back by about two months. The cruise line said the delay was a “mutual” decision with shipbuilder Fincantieri.

“Following a comprehensive review of the remaining construction milestones, both parties have elected to adjust the ship's delivery date from July 29, 2025 to September 26, 2025, which will result in the cancellation of the nine inaugural sailings,” Princess said in a news release .

Guests whose cruises are impacted will be able to rebook on any Princess ship and, depending on which sailing they pick, receive future cruise and onboard credits. They will also be able to opt for a full refund of their fare instead.

“Despite our collective dedication and relentless pursuit to deliver the ship in late July, it has become evident that additional time is required to ensure the Star Princess is delivered to the highest standards expected by our guests,” Princess Cruises President John Padgett said in the release.

Your cruise was canceled: Now what?

The ship’s new inaugural itineraries will include 11 and seven-day Mediterranean cruises on Oct. 4 and 15, 2025, respectively. Those will be followed by a two-week transatlantic voyage to Fort Lauderdale, Florida on Oct. 22, 2025.

Those sailings will be available to book on April 30.

Star Princess will be the second in the line’s Sphere Class. Sister ship Sun Princess was also delayed ahead of its launch earlier this year, with Princess citing “additional technical work” needed at the shipyard.

‘RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars’ Season 9 Queens Revealed, Will Compete for Charity for the First Time

RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 9

Category is: All Star Charity Extravaganza! 

Paramount+ and World of Wonder have officially announced the Season 9 cast of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars,” which will consist of eight alumni of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” stretching from its first season to Season 14. It’s the first season of “All Stars” — other than the all-winners seventh season — to feature just eight queens.

Popular on Variety

The returning queens for “All Stars” Season 9 are:

Angeria Paris VanMichaels (Season 14) : This Atlanta-based queen won two main challenges during her season — including the challenge in which she coined her catch phrase, “you ug-aly bitch” — en route to the finale, where she tied for third. She’s playing for the National Black Justice Collective, “America’s leading national civil rights organization dedicated to the empowerment of Black lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer+ and same gender loving (LGBTQ+/SGL) people, including people living with HIV/AIDS,” according to a release.

Gottmik (Season 13): The first trans man to compete on “Drag Race” became a major fan favorite for her performance as Paris Hilton in the Snatch Game challenge, which earned Gottmik one of two main challenges wins; she ultimately came in third on the show. She’s playing for Trans Lifeline, “a grassroots hotline, advocacy and micro-grants non-profit offering direct emotional and financial support to trans people in crisis.”

Nina West (Season 11): The Columbus, Ohio queen won two main challenges, came in sixth place in her season, and won Miss Congeniality from her fellow contestants. Since the show, she played Edna Turnblad in the national tour of “Hairspray,” and played the drag icon Divine in 2022’s “Weird; The Al Yankovic Story.” She’s playing for The Trevor Project, “the leading suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ+ young people.”

Plastique Tiara (Season 11): While Plastique has the lowest showing in her original season among the “All Stars” Season 9 queens — winning one main challenge and coming in eighth place — she has since amassed the largest social media following of anyone from the show, according to a release, including 11.6 million followers on TikTok. She’s also starred in “RuPaul’s Drag Race Live.” She’s playing for The Asian American Foundation, which was created “in response to the rise in anti-Asian hate and to address the long-standing underinvestment in Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities.”

Roxxxy Andrews (Season 5, “All Stars” Season 2): One of the most iconic “Drag Race” alumni as the first queen to debut the double-wig reveal in a lip sync, Roxxxy earned a spot in two finales: She was a runner-up in Season 5 with two main challenge wins, and came in fourth place in Season 2 of “All Stars.” She’s playing for Miracle of Love, which provides “accessible HIV/AIDS prevention programming and supportive assistance to service the multicultural needs of communities in Central Florida.”

Shannel (Season 1, “All Stars” Season 1): The first queen ever to step foot inside the “Drag Race” werk room, Shannel came in fourth in her season, and then tied for third in Season 1 of “All Stars.” She’s playing for the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, “a global nonprofit committed to advancing research and helping people overcome anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, bipolar disorder and related conditions.”

Vanessa Vanjie (Season 10, Season 11): Her cry of “Miss Vanjie” after being the first queen eliminated from Season 10 made Vanjie an overnight viral sensation, so much so she was invited back for following season, where she came in fifth place. She’s playing for the ASPCA, the animal rights group that “has been on the frontlines to save, transform and protect the lives of millions of dogs, cats, equines and farm animals in the fight against animal cruelty and homelessness.”

‘Ghosts’ Star Richie Moriarty on Pete’s Traveling Power & What It Means for the Season 3 Finale

Richie Moriarty in 'Ghosts' Season 3

Spoiler Alert

Ghosts Newsletter

For Woodstone’s Select Spirits

For exclusive news and updates, subscribe to our ghosts newsletter :.

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Ghosts Season 3, Episode 9, “The Traveling Agent.”]

Ghosts is breaking new ground in the latest installment, “The Traveling Agent,” as do-gooder troop leader spirit Pete ( Richie Moriarty ) discovers his special power is that he can travel beyond the ghost boundary on Woodstone’s property.

While this power would thrill almost any spirit you could think of, Pete is initially reluctant to embrace the gift tied to his past as a travel agent who didn’t travel when he had the chance in life. After a bumpy outing with Jay ( Utkarsh Ambudkar ), Pete is further convinced that his power isn’t something he wants to explore further, but he’s convinced by his pals that he should embrace it.

By the end of the episode, he was boarding a flight to St. Lucia where his daughter and grandson were vacationing. Below, Moriarty opens up about his initial reaction to Pete’s ghost power, the possibilities it unlocks, thoughts on his bromance with Jay, potential romance with Alberta ( Danielle Pinnock ), and how the power will impact the finale episode.

Pete’s episodes always have an emotional aspect to them. Do you like leaning into that heaviness?

Richie Moriarty: I think the Joes have really seen Pete as the emotional heart of this cast in the way that he’s very earnest. He’s very naive, but there’s a lot of heart that comes out of this guy. He cares greatly for the other ghosts in the house. He really sees them as his troop. He was a troop leader in life, and this troop of ghosts is this group that he, in many ways likes to lead. So I love that the character has that dimension in the show because all of [Pete’s episodes] are incredibly heart-wrenching, and I think it’s really fun to be able to play the different dimensions of this character.

Did you feel adrift without your troop as Pete explored his traveling powers?

I did feel a little adrift. I’ll be honest. We get so used to being in tight quarters with so many of us that it is strange whenever we shoot a flashback and we’re with other people in different places, or we have a situation like this where I am away from the mansion for the first time as a ghost. Exciting because you’re in a new environment, but then it’s almost a little more heady because you do have to think about, “Okay, this guy has not been out of the house in 40 years. How is he going to respond and take these new environments in?” There’s a lot he hasn’t seen in so long. It’s really exciting narratively for the show, it opens up a world of possibilities, which I’m thrilled about, but it is weird.

How did you feel about Carol’s death this season and do you hope to have her and Pete cross paths more?

I hope so. I hope that we’ll be able to continue to work with Caroline Aaron. She’s so funny. I think narratively for Pete, it makes sense that he needs to move on. But it’s also narratively really fun to have her hanging out and popping in when we need that character and when we need to ruffle Pete’s feathers some more. And she’s just a joy to work with. And it was really funny because when she came back, there was a lot of figuring out the ghost rules, relearning them after she learned for the first two seasons, “Do not look us in the eyes.”

Richie Moriarty and Danielle Pinnock in 'Ghosts'

Bertrand Calmeau/CBS

Pete’s power stems from his travel agent career in life and the fact that he never traveled. Do you think that realization will help him grow moving forward?

I think there’s big growth for him in the season finale. There’s a definitive moment that really changes him and I think changes his outlook, and he’s able to bring some of that perspective back to Woodstone and talk to the other ghosts about it. That’s what I’m most excited for. The possibilities with this power are kind of endless.

Does he see the merits of rule-breaking now?

Yeah. I think the Shawshank thing that Jay brings up in the episode is real, right? It’s crazy to think about being in one place for 40 years and then all of a sudden having the front door open and it’s like you can go wherever you want. I’m sure it would be massively intimidating, but as much as he doesn’t want to do it at first, I think he’s going to learn quickly that this can totally open up your world and broaden your experiences, and equip him in different ways to help other people.

Jay and Pete’s bromance is a highlight of the show. Do you hope to continue deepening that relationship?

Totally. I love working with Utkarsh. He’s become such a good friend, and the two of us love anytime we’re on set together. And the Joes have found great ways to get him involved, especially this season with Sas’s power, and with my power. So I think that will continue in different ways.

'Ghosts' Star Rebecca Wisocky on Hetty's Death Secret Reveal & Flower's Return

'Ghosts' Star Rebecca Wisocky on Hetty's Death Secret Reveal & Flower's Return

Is there hope for the Albert-Pete romance pipeline? It seems as if she’s warming up to the idea this season.

I think the Joes are smartly slow playing this Alberta and Pete relationship, and I honestly don’t know what their intentions are with it. But I do know that Danielle and I love each other so much, and whatever they do with this, we are going to be thrilled. In so many ways the two of these people make no sense together, but the more they learn about each other, the more they sort of grow in their afterlife, especially since she has been attracted to bad boys her whole life and she’s realizing that maybe that wasn’t the smartest thing. So why not look at the opposite in Pete, this guy who’s just insanely loyal and a true nice guy. And I think for Pete, too, he’s obviously never encountered anyone like Alberta in his life. So there’s huge potential in new things for him, and that’s part of what kind of ties back to this power is he has a lot of new experiences with this power that are on the horizon.
