Travel in county Todd

Before my secular private school allowed sneakers into the dress code, I wore boat shoes every weekday for four years. I would see them each morning, sitting by my front door, and think of a half-deflated football with that soft, burnished brown leather a sorry contrast to the cream-colored lacing. When they came undone, as they often did due to haphazard tying on my part, the tendrils were rigid enough to coil like unruly horns but were still prone to dragging. I never liked them, representative as they were of the tanned Connecticut country club culture from which I felt alienated as a pale and sickly pubescent. The second I was able, I traded them for New Balances and didn’t think about them again for a decade.

Air New Zealand has apologized after it charged a married couple $8,000 to change their flight.

The much-delayed Terminal A at Abu Dhabi International Airport opened to the public mid-week in the United Arab Emirates (UAE UAE ), with plenty of hype about its potential to boost the city’s position as a global hub for tourism, trade, and business.

I've been to Las Vegas many times in the past 15 years with friends and family but most of the time I've gone by myself. As an avid global solo traveler, it's become one of my favorite places to visit.

This past spring, my inner anxious-planner took full control. I devoted a lot of time to meticulously reviewing my summer calendar and all I saw were back-to-back trips. However, I realized that there was little family time set aside. I quickly hopped on my Chase Travel app and booked a roundtrip ticket to Guyana to be with my loved ones. I venture to Georgetown, Guyana, twice a year to not only spend quality time with family, but also immerse myself in our rich and vibrant diverse culture that holds a special place in my heart. Relaxing in a hammock, surrendering to the tropical weather, enjoying the fresh fruit, and savoring all the curry dishes possible are the highlights of my visits. With a two-week stay planned, I celebrated my birthday and indulged in delicious mango that I picked right from my auntie's backyard. This time around, the weather greeted me with some spicy heat—meaning morning showers and steamy afternoons. Here are the essentials I packed that helped me have the perfect stay in Guyana.
