From a Route 66 motel in Kingman to Sedona’s red rocks: the Chapel of the Holy Cross, Bell Rock and Airport Mesa at sunset, plus Red Rock Pass and hours.
Quebec ice fishing in a heated hut on the frozen Sainte-Anne River, about 2 hours from Montreal: our overnight trip, 50 tomcod, 2025-26 prices, drive times and what to know before you book.
Eight days of spring break at one all-inclusive in Punta Cana with our kid: a swim-up suite at Majestic Mirage, restaurants to reserve, nightly shows, a snorkel boat, April weather, seaweed and the e-Ticket.
Early January, one night by the airport, then three nights at a hotel on the waterfront: a day for the city, a day for the islands and a day for the beach.
Phuket with kids at a slow pace: 10 days with my four-year-old, moving from Surin to Kata to Patong, with a zipline, an elephant visit, a Koh Khai and Phi Phi speedboat day, and what we booked and packed.
Our December Grand Circle loop from Las Vegas: 9 nights, about 1,880 miles and 15 stops, with a day-by-day route, drive times, where we slept, weather and what to book first.

On our last day in Porto the sky finally cleared. We toured the cathedral and the Episcopal Palace, crossed the Dom Luís I Bridge to Gaia for dinner, and ended the night at a fado show before flying to Brussels.
We browsed Bolhão Market, walked across the Infante Dom Henrique Bridge to watch the sunset from the Gaia waterfront, then came back over the lower deck of the Dom Luís I Bridge for the Clérigos light show.
On our third day in Porto, with wind and showers coming and going, we took taxis to Matosinhos Beach, the fishing village of Afurada and the Crystal Palace Gardens.
We returned the rental car and started our first afternoon in Porto on foot: the tiled wall of Carmo Church, the azulejos of São Bento Station, and a walk across the upper deck of the Dom Luís I Bridge just before the storm hit.
A morning at the Montreal Marathon 5K with my wife and kid running: the walk from Pie-IX Metro to the start, the finish at Parc Maisonneuve, and practical race-day details.
