Lawnstarter: Best (and worst) states for fall activities

As we enter the fall season, bonfires are roasting, it's time for the harvest and everything is pumpkin spice-flavored. (Blech!) You're likely among those who cannot wait to enjoy the great outdoors in cooler conditions. Hard to dispute, considering a YouGov poll states that fall is most Americans’ favorite season. However, the fall season doesn't strike all states as equally as others. Lawnstarter recently released a list of best (and worst) states for planning fall getaways -- even despite the […]

Roman treasures in Nîmes

Most travelers to southern France's Provence region will visit Arles and Avignon, but ignore nearby Nîmes. While those two towns have name recognition and greater touristic appeal, Nîmes (pronounced "neem") feels richer and more authentic. A visit to this thriving town rewards you with impressive Roman monuments and peaceful, pedestrian-polished streets that feel like a secret between its well-heeled residents. Born a Celtic city around 500 BC, Nîmes joined the Roman Empire in the first century BC. Emperor Augustus made […]

Experiencing Iceland’s raw beauty

Iceland, with cinematic scenery showcasing nature in its rawest form, thrills outdoorsy travelers. Its fascinating landscape, from rugged coasts to steaming volcanoes and craggy glaciers, offers visitors a range of adventures hard to find anywhere else. One of my most unforgettable Icelandic experiences was my first tour into a dormant volcano. The Þríhnúkagígur volcano, a half-hour drive from Iceland's capital city Reykjavík, last erupted about 4,000 years ago. When its magma drained out, a cavity big enough to hold the […]

Pompeii: Italy’s frozen-in-time Roman city

I love exploring the world of ancient Rome, with its grand architecture, fascinating culture, and stories of larger-than-life leaders. But since many of the 2,000-year-old empire's landmarks are reduced to ruins, it can be hard to make sense of the stones and rubble left behind. To get a clearer picture of what everyday life in ancient Rome was really like, visit the well-preserved (and unlucky) city of Pompeii. Located just south of Naples, Pompeii was founded in 600 BC and […]

For travelers with an interest in the evolution of Western culture, a stop at one of Europe's grand libraries is an unforgettable experience.

How vacation travel has been impacted post-COVID

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed pretty much every aspect of our lives. From our workplaces to our financial situations to our freedoms, there’s truly nothing left of what we used to call “normal.” Over 40 million Americans have filed for unemployment in this crisis - that’s a serious shift. With this unprecedented time upon us, one thing that absolutely nobody is doing right now is taking a vacation. It’s just not a viable option. Many countries have closed their borders, […]

How suppliers can improve customer service

Supply companies are an essential part of everyday business. While the general public might not understand their importance, every business knows that they would not survive without top-quality supply firms delivering stock and transporting essentials.  Even so, suppliers can sometimes get a bad reputation. As they often move equipment cross-country, there is a wide range of issues that can crop up along the way. That is true, even if it isn't their fault. As a result, this can impact their […]

Major airlines will require passengers to wear face coverings

WASHINGTON (UPI) -- Three major U.S. airlines on Thursday announced they will require passengers to wear face coverings on planes as unions and politicians pressure the Trump administration to mandate the practice nationwide to prevent the spread of the deadly and infectious coronavirus. Delta on Thursday said customers will be required to wear a face mask or an appropriate face covering from Monday in the check-in lobby, Delta Sky Clubs, boarding gate areas, jet bridges and on the aircraft for the […]

Italian connoisseurs choose leisurely Lucca

On a sunny summer evening in Lucca, Italy, I was inspired by the simple joy of watching an old man bicycling with his granddaughter atop the wide, fortified wall that once protected this proud city from its enemies — and now seems to corral its Old World charm. Then, on rented bikes, a group of chatty tourists frolicked by. Their enthusiasm was contagious. Squinting at the energy in their smiles, surrounded by dazzling sunshine, it struck me that the sun […]
