Want to live the fantasy of living on the beach?
Living in a rural and sometimes frigid part of Vermont, I used to worry about winter weather when I left my home empty to travel. Just before the pandemic, I went on a ski trip to the Rockies, and while I was gone, a pipe froze and burst, spewing water for days, and the end result was the total destruction of my kitchen floor down to the sub flooring, requiring more than $60,000 in repairs, not to mention very long waits for contractors and legal hassle with my sub-par insurer. Thanks to supply chain issues, it took well over a year just for my new range to arrive, cooking on an induction burner with no oven.
Packing for a cruise can be tricky — there are often multiple climates to consider and limited storage options. Plus, unlike a normal vacation, you can't just run to a convenience store whenever needed.
Upon reaching Phnom Penh, our first act was searching for dinner. I will never forget my first meal that truly tasted like home, after fourteen years in exile: It was fitting that it should be prahok—our defining (and aromatic) national condiment. We found someone preparing a version very much like my mother’s splendid cooked prahok: mixed with kroeung spice paste, minced pork, and young tamarind leaves, all wrapped in a banana leaf and grilled. Although I had never developed a taste for raw prahok as a child, that day the luscious, pungent fish was, for me, the flavor of Cambodia. I closed my eyes and drank in the familiar aromas. A sense of relief and well-being washed over me. Something essential from that lost world had survived, after all.
Our family of five travels fairly frequently. We've been to Iceland, Amsterdam, Portugal, Hawaii, London, and more with our kids as they’ve grown. One of the best ways we’ve managed to make the trips enjoyable for all of us and to stay connected to our kids while on vacation is to schedule “home days.”
“If you haven’t seen a total solar eclipse, you haven’t seen anything.” So ends NASA’s new trailer for what is arguably the celestial highlight not only of 2024 but of the entire decade—and possibly many Americans’ lifetimes.

During the week between Christmas and New Years, I played eighteen holes “at” the famed Ocean Course at Mexico’s Cabo del Sol. The next day I teed it up at Loch Lomond in Scotland, and two days later snuck in another quick 18—after dark—at Canada’s classic Banff Springs. Each round averaged just over two hours, I never lost a single ball, and I did it all without a passport or plane tickets. No greens fees. No rain. BYOB. I didn’t even have to wear a collared shirt.
Good morning, and happy new year, folks. Hope 2024 is off to a good start. Today we’re considering the opportunities and challenges of themed rentals, and an important court decision in Hawaii. We’ll also take a peak into 2024 with a forecast.
The horror story goes something like this: A family returns from a trip abroad, and the glow from the vacation has barely begun to fade when a cellphone bill with hundreds — or even thousands — of dollars in international charges arrives. The phenomenon even has a name: bill shock.

When a traveler experiences a truly captivating beach getaway at a hotel or resort, it often compels them to return.
Two Decembers ago, after years away, I went back to Oak Tree Road. That thoroughfare, straddling my New Jersey hometown of Edison and the neighboring Iselin, had been the site of my childhood in the early aughts. Sitting along that four-mile stretch were video stores with DVDs for Bollywood films you definitely couldn’t find at Blockbuster, sari boutiques with their dazzling display of color and pattern, and sweets shops whose indulgences ferried my Bengali immigrant family back to the country they’d left behind long ago.
It’s not very often that I receive pitches that read a short-term rental operator’s portfolio grew 40% in the first half of the year. And so when I learned that limehome added over 1,000 properties to its portfolio this year alone, my eyebrow raised itself.
