Travel in state Ohio

If noise-canceling headphones don’t help you doze off, you may need to consider a more heavy-duty fix: sleeping pills for flights. Certainly, some flights don’t warrant sleeping aids—such as when you’re taking a short trip or traveling west against a time difference, says Aneesa Das, M.D., a sleep medicine specialist at the Ohio State University (at that point you may as well stay awake). But if you’ll be on a plane overnight and waking up in a vastly different time zone, logging some shuteye on the plane is crucial to arriving refreshed—or close enough to it.

It’s already spring, which means summer is just around the corner. Not only does summer mean beach vacations and hot weather, but it also means celebrating Pride. The Stonewall Uprising began on June 28, 1969, in response to a police raid at the Stonewall Inn, a popular gay bar in New York City's Greenwich Village. Queer people fought back against the police, and the subsequent uprising lasted for six days. One year later, thousands marched from the Stonewall Inn to Central Park in what we now know was the first Pride parade in the United States.

Long renowned for its booming whiskey industry and prowess at horse racing, the city of Louisville serves as a major tourist destination on the northern edge of Kentucky—yet those who venture across the Ohio River will find a truly underrated destination on the southern edge of Indiana. Across the tri-municipality area of Jeffersonville, Clarksville and New Albany, visitors can explore fascinating museums and pristine natural spaces, with no shortage of top-tier bourbon to discover along the way. As you plan your next trip to Derby City, be sure to save some room in the itinerary for a foray into the Hoosier State as well.

Since my first visit to Columbus last year—when I fell hard for Ohio’s capital—the city has only continued to flourish. In fact, a study released by the Bank of America Institute a couple of months ago reported that Columbus is now the fastest growing city in America.

The totality of an eclipse is never long enough. My first total solar eclipse experience in 2017 made for the shortest two minutes of my life: the sun transforming into a blazing diamond ring, the beautiful delirium of darkness, that perfect circle in the sky. Before I knew it, the eclipse was over—and my friends and I were plotting how we could catch our next.

Breeze Airways is deepening its ties to Florida. The startup ultra-low-cost carrier is adding Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) near Fort Myers as its newest operating base later this year.

Did you see the total solar eclipse? Despite clouds in some regions, some sky-watchers in Mexico, the U.S. and Canada were able to get clear views of a totally eclipsed sun for as long as 4 minutes 28 seconds in what was the longest totality viewed from land since 2010—and the longest in the U.S. since 1806.

As millions of Americans get ready to watch the total solar eclipse on Monday — an event NASA has described as rare and "spectacular" — the phenomenon also stands to lift local economies.

Like many South Florida residents, I came first as a tourist before my family made the leap and moved here.

On Monday, April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will be visible within parts of North America. If weather is permitting and there aren’t cloudy skies, total visibility will start along Mexico’s Pacific Coast. In the United States, the path of totality, which is the narrow ribbon of places where the full eclipse can be viewed, goes from Texas to Maine. NASA is offering a map that shows the path of totality as well as a timetable of when the eclipse should appear in some of the major locations where it can be viewed.

Eclipse fever is running high as the U.S. gears up for a total solar eclipse that will pass across a huge swath of the country on April 8. Looking for last-minute eclipse travel tips? Demand is off the charts for flights, hotels and rental cars along the path of totality. But it’s not too late to book travel for the solar eclipse—if you know where to look.

This Saturday, April 8, a solar eclipse will be seen across North America. From inside a 115-mile-wide path stretching across Mexico, the U.S., and Canada, a total solar eclipse will see the sun’s corona glimpsed with the naked eye for a few minutes as a “supermoon” covers all of the sun.

If you find yourself in France on April 1, don’t be surprised if something seems fishy. Maybe someone gives you a chocolate or a pastry in the shape of a cod? Perhaps you find a paper haddock stuck to your back, and then everyone erupts into laughter and starts pointing and shouting “poisson d’avril”? Don’t be alarmed, you’ve simply immersed yourself in the centuries-long French tradition of April Fool’s Day, known as poisson d’avril or “April Fish.”

Even celestial events need a backing track—and the April 8 total solar eclipse is no different. Whether you’re road-tripping down to Hot Springs, Arkansas for Atlas Obscura’s Ecliptic Festival or flying over to Cleveland, Ohio, you’ll undoubtedly need some tunes to get you in the mood.

If you want to participate in a pretty epic event, know that it's not too late to make a plan to see the rare, total solar eclipse that will cut a path across a good chunk of the U.S. on Monday.

Is it even possible to avoid traffic during a total solar eclipse? The first since 2017 and last until 2033 in North America, about 40 million people live inside the path of totality on April 8—and as many as four million may drive into it on the day.

Texas is the best place for the total solar eclipse, right? It has a higher chance of clear skies. Whether that holds true or the presumed-to-be-cloudy northeast U.S. and Canada are now back in play is up in the air.

Distracted driving fell in four states after they implemented hands-free laws. An analysis of cell phone data from Alabama, Michigan, Missouri and Ohio following legislation to prevent holding a cellphone while driving found that hands-free laws made a positive impact.
