It was late August when I arrived at the outer limits of the Stockholm archipelago. Much of the Northern Hemisphere was still luxuriating in all-out summer splendor, but Sweden’s long summer days of nearly 24-hour sunlight had distinctly ended. I had traveled to the archipelago, an area covering 30,000 islands, islets, and granite skerries in the Baltic Sea, to immerse myself in the islands’ remote landscapes. I would be traveling along part of the Stockholm Archipelago Trail, a new 270-km hiking path (approximately 170 miles) that stretches across 22 islands off Sweden’s east coast, making it possible to venture deeper into the outer archipelago.
I traveled to Sweden's Dalarna and returned home with a horse. It stands about five inches tall, with a pleasing curve of the muzzle and dainty fetlocks, though an unkind person might say it looks bovine from a certain angle. I whittled it while sitting on a log beneath tall spruces, warmed by the fire that Alfred Blomberg, a local farmer, had assembled in moments. As we flicked curls of pine across the floor with our blades, he told me the sort of things you tell a person while sitting around a fire. How the lake behind us freezes so solid in winter a horse could gallop across it; how, in summer, he takes his cows to mountain pasture to give them a holiday; and how he was a slingshot champion in his youth, carving his own catapult and traveling all around Sweden. It was a scene that could have taken place at any time in the past century.

It's been nearly a year since Scandinavian Airlines announced plans to leave Star Alliance, which it helped found over 25 years ago, as part of a financing deal with Air France-KLM. The airline officially exited SkyTeam at the end of August and has since been forging closer ties with its new SkyTeam partners, including Delta, with whom the Stockholm-based carrier signed a codeshare agreement that just went into effect on Sept. 25.
Delta Air Lines and Scandinavian Airlines have launched a close partnership to expand flights to Northern Europe, just weeks after the European carrier joined the SkyTeam alliance.

If you think that Labor Day marks the end of summer vacations and seaside revelry, think again. On the Greek island of Paros, September is the best time to visit. Thanks to its rising popularity, Paros in July and August has recently become enormously busy. Roughly the size of the city of Stockholm at 75 square miles, Paros can feel insufferably crowded in the peak of summer. But in September—and for a few weeks beyond—a lot of that pressure is released, making the island feel more expansive and easier to enjoy.

The party started an hour before the M/S Gabriella ferry slipped out of Stockholm harbor for its overnight voyage to Helsinki. At the outdoor bar on Deck 9, passengers had gathered for the 4 p.m. sailing. Talking excitedly over drinks, they reveled in the Nordic summer weather — bright sun, cool breeze, electric blue sky with cotton-ball clouds — while a D.J. mixed bass-heavy Eurodance and vintage disco. Kids on holiday with their families dashed about.
Everything was on track when it came to Jón Óskar Árnason's culinary career — until it wasn't.

Even though airport security can be time-consuming, I can usually access a shorter line using my TSA PreCheck and Clear memberships. However, both programs only help me when traveling domestically. As such, I usually don't have a way to decrease my wait time when clearing security in international airports.
