Travel in state Colorado

Ever since Wyndham said ‘No’ to Choice Hotels’ offer last year to buy it, executives have been sandbagged by work related to preventing the hostile merger.

It was a typical day at Colorado’s Breckenridge Ski Resort, 80 miles west of Denver—until a large moose lumbered up to the base lodge.

“In July 2021, two years before my twins were born, my husband, Philip, and I took a road trip through the American West. Road trips are my favorite kind of trip—between Boys Don't Cry and Million Dollar Baby, I drove from Los Angeles through the South to New York using only highways and byways, never freeways, because then you just speed past everything. I always love the sense of discovery when you don't plan ahead. This time around, we had no plan beyond keeping a route in mind. I'd also run out of motels that would let me stay with all of my dogs—Kai, Teddy, Sufi, Moon, and Dunton, plus whomever we picked up along the way, as there are so many homeless dogs—so we were in our Tiffin RV. We started in Colorado and ended in the Pacific Northwest, but one of my favorite days came when we were somewhere between Santa Fe and Taos, when we had all of this drastic weather, like having four seasons in one day. It was raining so hard—a crazy summer thunderstorm. And then all of a sudden, it cleared, first with intense wind but then stillness, and as we drove we watched the heat from the road, the condensation going up, the mirages in the distance, and this big beautiful blue sky. That led us into the night—we stopped and built a bonfire and just sat by it. Sometimes we chatted about something that crossed our minds, but it was really then that we found and welcomed the endless stillness, beneath the unpolluted night skies. A moment like that is why I keep doing this.” —as told to Charlie Hobbs and Matt Ortile

Filmmaker and director Tommy Joyce is no stranger to the extremes of nature. His work has taken him across the world to camp alone 6,700m up a mountain in Nepal, chart the frozen wilderness of the Antarctic Peninsula and negotiate the dust clouds and intense 49C heat of the Sahara Desert. These are testing places for people and equipment — whether he’s capturing someone at the peak of human endurance or a landscape in just the right sunlight, it’s work that comes with both challenges and rewards.

It was another busy week for travel startup funding, and this time it was all early rounds with lower amounts.

United Airlines is back with a new ad for this year’s Super Bowl. 

You know that feeling when you’re stuck on a chairlift or heading down a mountain, and you want to check in with other members of your group who might be skiing elsewhere? Perhaps, like me, you put your seven-year-old in ski school, while your older child is barreling down a double black diamond with a barely-out-of-college, adrenaline-fueled ski instructor. Or maybe half your crew took the harder run, while you chose to cruise a cat track halfway across the mountain. How will you ever find them again?

After a record-breaking 115.1 million viewers tuned in for last year's Super Bowl, companies across all industries, including travel, are putting up big bucks—$7 million for 30 seconds of air time to be exact—to get their brands in front of America's eyeballs this February.

As I packed up my campervan — aka the place I would call home for two weeks — I crossed my fingers and hoped I had everything I'd need.

At Duke’s Lobster & Seafood—a popular restaurant at Finest Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic—all-inclusive guests can order their lobster dishes however they please. Steamed in a lemon-butter sauce, perhaps? Or thermidor-style with mushrooms and shallots. How about grilled with a white wine and garlic sauce or succulent pieces piled on linguine? Actually, why not just try the decadent dish a different way each night because the lobster—and this may be a shellshocker—is indeed included in the all-inclusive rate.

Perhaps no other sport rolls out the red carpet for festive activities more than skiing. After all, skiers as a whole are an active group who enjoy spending time outdoors either by being part of the action or as spectators watching spirited competitions and special events take place. As such, ski resorts present a wide variety of activities designed to thrill and entertain. The following ski resort events and activities are sure to draw large and enthusiastic crowds.

In the weeks leading up to my first solo road trip, I called up a handful of experienced nomads and sought out their advice.
