Choosing a honeymoon destination felt far harder than any assignment. This wasn't just another trip. As a queer woman, the list of potential destinations narrowed quickly.

Gabriel Kreuther is a restaurant you should try at least once before you die. Helmed by the eponymous Alsatian super-chef, it stands among New York City's hallowed temples of haute French cuisine.

An engagement ring is more than a piece of jewellery, it is a symbol of commitment. Couples are moving away from mass‑produced designs, preferring rings that capture their unique journey.

In 2027, Christmas Day and Boxing Day fall on a weekend, providing two substitute bank holidays on December 27 and 28, leading to an extended holiday opportunity.

Beware the Brides of March! proclaims event organizer Harmony Vehling, but she's really just threatening everyone with a good time in Manhattan. The Brides of March leans more towards camaraderie than alcohol and is somewhat more manageable as the brides numbered at about 75 total.

Us 2 months ago: we will quit our jobs and become travel influencers and travel full time. We are now unemployed burning through our savings. We've only gained 2,000 followers. We still have 14 countries to go.

Protect yourself from the sun with headgear and lots of sunscreen. The sun can be very strong in some destinations, especially on Caribbean trips.

Last June, my husband came back from a long surfing trip and asked me for a divorce. I was stunned. Confused. Heartbroken. By then, we'd been married for nearly seven years - June 15th would've been our seventh wedding anniversary. To celebrate it, I had organized a short getaway.

As a travel planner, I regularly stay at all-inclusive resorts and book luxury trips for my clients. All-inclusive vacations can be complicated to book, and many travelers make mistakes along the way. Booking the cheapest room, requesting an ocean view, and always bringing kids isn't the way to go. As a travel planner at Marvelous Mouse Travels, one of my areas of expertise is booking all-inclusive vacations.

On day five of an eight-day, 500-mile mountain bike race in Africa, Piers Constable found himself sprawled in the dirt for the second time. First he'd crashed on his left side, then on his right, until he was, in his own words, "muddied and bloodied," staring at a bike that was very much broken. He remembered a feed station a couple miles away and realized he had two choices: quit or run. He picked up the bike and ran.

From ordering a Singapore Sling at Raffles to taking a scenic dip at the floating swimming pool on Lake Como at Grand Hotel Tremezzo, hotels have long enticed guests via destination restaurants, bars and swimming pools.

A stag or hen do should be a straightforward, fun night celebrating a good friend moving into a new chapter of their life. Instead, thanks to films such as The Hangover and Bridesmaids, as well as the general Americanisation of what a bachelor or bachelorette party should be, we've ended up with too many overindulgent, wildly inconvenient and quite frankly underwhelming send-offs to our friends who are getting married. Somewhere along the way, they've morphed into three-day tests of stamina and disposable income.

Whether you prefer river or ocean voyages, many of the best cruises for couples are all-inclusive, with unlimited food and alcohol, free Wi-Fi, plenty of onboard entertainment, and other perks. Some cruise lines even throw in unlimited shore excursions, free spa access, airfare, and private transfers-so there's no need to bring along extra cash. For a tranquil onboard vibe, couples can opt for an adults-only sailing or a ship with exclusive spaces for grown-ups.

Both cruises and all-inclusive resorts promise stress-free vacations, thanks to upfront pricing and built-in entertainment. But despite similar perks, the travel experiences couldn't be more different. Choosing between a floating resort that whisks you between several ports and a property that promises everything in one place depends on personal travel style. Do you crave variety and a busy schedule, or prefer settling into a single destination? Do you thrive with structure, or prefer flexible days at your own pace?

Sometimes it's about sinking into sunlight and letting a chic villa or vacation rental set the pace. It's always about time to start planning your next spring break vacation, and you'll find it hits differently when you've learned that the real luxury isn't just in the itinerary, but the address itself. Maybe it's a beachfront vacation home in Turks and Caicos or the Caribbean, a sun-soaked estate in Palm Springs or Florida.

A great deal of travel advertising targets the newlywed couple, the blithesome pair in search of that perfect honeymoon hotel, where a stay will ensure a happy marriage to come. But what if you just got out of one? Where is 2001 Nicole Kidman going, after signing the divorce papers from Tom Cruise? ( This meme has since been debunked by Kidman herself, but that's besides the point.)

My mother and I are at our best when unwinding on the beach with a piña colada in hand. It's not that we don't love adventurous travel; it's just that our travel styles are different. She's all about going with the flow, and I prefer to have a plan and a well-balanced itinerary. But one thing we both appreciate is a good tropical resort.
