Photo by Craig Sunter via Flickr The average American working a full-time salaried job receives 8.1 paid vacation days per year — sometimes even less, depending on the company’s accrual policy. It’s enough (or, actually, so little) that it makes us green-eyed of our friends across the pond who can have up to a month…
While U.S. territories Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands have both reported locally acquired Zika cases, the mosquito is yet to have reached the United States. Unfortunately, Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, now reports that — thanks to warming temperatures — the disease-carrying mosquito will make its…
Historic getaways are nothing new (pun intended!), but it’s relatively easy to get stuck in a rut; you’re either visiting whatever’s close, or heading into the big U.S. cities that lay claim to some of the most important historic sites, museums, and other attractions in the country. So we’re going to take those major cities…
If your weekend was anything like ours, you’re tired of being cooped up watching Netflix and throwing salt on your walkway. But even though a balmy beach locale may sound like exactly what you need to fight the winter blues, not all warm spring breaks must be spent on the sand. Whether you’re looking for…
We know what you’re thinking: cemeteries aren’t often places you’re dying to visit. (Excuse the pun.) They can be spooky, boring, and even run-down. But there are some graveyards around the world that are hauntingly beautiful with drop-dead gorgeous views and museum-worthy artwork.

But while these sweet hidden gems may be even harder to discover on this side of the pond, they do exist…
Magnolia-lined cobblestone streets, stately plantation-style homes, rocking chairs set up on screened-in porches — this is how many picture the South. And while not all areas below the Mason-Dixon line still have this storybook feel — in fact, numerous Southern destinations we love (Atlanta and Dallas, for example) are some of the country’s most booming…
Vegas is booze-friendly? We’re not surprised… Summer’s here and the time is right for dancing in the street — or so the song goes. But not just dancing — also drinking. We recently shared our list the three cute towns where you still can’t drink at all, so we felt it only fair to share…
The proposal may have come as a surprise, but what shouldn’t at this point is just how much that resulting wedding is going to cost you. Because whether you’ve said “I do” once before, stood at the altar as a member of a wedding party, or simply attended a destination wedding, you know just how…
A waterfront vacation doesn’t have to mean a trip to the beach. River locales, such as charming San Antonio or rugged Snoqualmie, offer plenty of the same draws as oceans and lakes. Flowing past some of America’s best cities, around mountain ranges, and through desserts, these rivers are the optimal alternative vacation spots for boating,…
