Like so many modern couples, Gabriella Lourie and GT Svanikier met first on a dating app. It was the summer of 2020 in Brooklyn, and COVID-19 was ravaging the city, so their first date was spent outdoors. Their “big pandemic love story,” as Gabriella puts it, was sealed with an engagement on New Year’s Day 2023. But they faced a problem as they began to plan—their families and friends were scattered around the world: Gabriella has lived in Massachusetts, Washington, DC, and New York, while GT was born in Ghana and also has lived in DC and New York.

Losing your luggage to the mysterious labyrinth of an airport baggage system is every flier's worst nightmare—especially when nobody at the airline can tell you where in the world it ended up. That's why many travelers have decided to take things into their own hands in recent years by attaching tracking devices like Apple AirTags to their checked luggage.

Gastrointestinal illnesses are on the upswing this winter. Norovirus is chief among them, raising concerns for many travelers — particularly cruisers — that they might end up on the toilet instead of a sun lounger on their next vacation.
