When you want to turn your ho-hums into hearty ho-ho-ho’s, seek out an easy vacation that is fun for everyone from the kids to grandpa, and luxe enough that you feel pampered. At Grand Reserve at Meritage Resort & Spa in Napa Valley, you’ll get all of that, with everything you need just steps away. Sure, you’ll still find the ubiquitous Christmas tree in what Grand Reserve calls their Living Room – not lobby – and that distinction is important. True holiday warmth and a collective focus on family togetherness abound here, a place that feels more like a family home than a hotel.

For people with a travel bug, the months between spring 2021 and October 2023 posed an unprecedented opportunity.

If you’re converting a passenger van, you’ve got to make a decision about the seats. The way I did it is a little atypical, but there are some pros and cons to each of the possible options. While it seems like the obvious choice is to take out all the seats, giving you more space, I have found that leaving some of them in place is even better. You might even want to leave them all in, though that’s only useful for some people.

Moving is tough, let alone moving to an entirely different continent.

This past June, my wife and I, along with two of our children, flew from our home in India to the eastern United States to see family and visit Universal Studios in Orlando, Fla. The trip included three domestic flights over five days on Frontier Airlines: Philadelphia to Orlando, Orlando to Atlanta, and Atlanta back to Philadelphia. The total cost for four people on three flights was an affordable $939.75, including a $99.99 “Discount Den” membership on Frontier. (We also spent $1,269.52 on tickets at Universal.) But our first flight was delayed and eventually canceled, and Frontier’s staff told us the next available flight was three or four days later — too close to our return flight to India. We were given a QR code at the Philadelphia airport to file for a refund, which we did for all three flights. But all we got was an email with a credit worth $339.92 and good for three months, plus four additional messages with a $100 voucher for each of us. Since Frontier does not operate in India, the credit and vouchers are useless. I fought Frontier through my Discover card, but lost. (Meanwhile, Universal reimbursed us in full.) Can you help?

For a lot of Thanksgiving travelers and hosts, there's a mutual, perhaps unwritten, agreement: The out-of-town guests travel, and the hosts handle the cooking.
