When Los Angeles–based designer Clare Vivier began decorating the 19th-century house she'd bought in her husband's hometown of Saint-Calais, in France's Loire Valley, she had a particular aesthetic in mind. “I love color and patterns but wanted something peaceful, so the intention was to create a dialogue between those two things,” she says. She wanted the house to have a blend of contemporary pieces, antiques, and textiles from heritage maisons to create a space that, much like her namesake handbag and fashion label, channeled both California fun and French sophistication. She also knew that she wanted her longtime friend Kate Berry, a designer and creative director, to help her make it happen.

“I was in Suva, the capital of Fiji, making a film, and our crew took over half of the Grand Pacific Hotel. One day after work, I came back and the pool was full of maybe 40 of the most beautiful men I had ever seen, flapping around in the water. I was like, ‘Who—what is happening?’ It turned out they were the Flying Fijians, the national rugby team, there for the World Rugby Pacific Nations Cup. It was just our film crew and their team sharing this hotel, so we became friends—always seeing each other in the hallways, hanging out by the pool with a boom box, playing cards, and drinking lots of beer. It was like I had a bunch of new cousins. I asked them to show me around Suva, and we went to many rugby games, but I'll never forget the intensity of the first time I saw the Flying Fijians play: I was jumping, shrieking, putting my hands over my eyes, and squeezing the arms of the people beside me. Compared to football, which is so start-and-stop, rugby has this constant movement and rhythm. The stands were full, and I could feel the hope for a win and the dread of a loss so palpably; in Suva, whether it's a good or a bad day depends on how their team played the night before. I could smell all this Fijian food, like rourou and whatever they were cooking in the lovo, wafting through the stadium, but I couldn't even eat. I was too nervous for the players. At each end of the stadium, hundreds of kids were peering through the gates, all wearing the white jersey of their favorite player. People who couldn't get tickets sat on a hillside picnicking and trying to get a glimpse of the game. It felt so important to everyone. Most of the people in the stadium were related in some way to a player because it's such a small island, so there's this familial pressure, like, ‘You'd better bring this trophy home, son, or we are going to have a problem tonight at the dinner table.’ They did win, in the end, and it was electrifying.”

Galapagos cruises are the best way to experience the collection of remote, mostly uninhabited islands about 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador. But cruises to the Galapagos Islands aren’t like cruises anywhere else. The ships here are smaller, with some carrying as few as 16 passengers. There are no water slides, elaborate Broadway shows, casinos, or wild nightclubs. And don’t expect big bus tours in port either.

Universal Orlando currently boasts eight on-site hotels, offering guests easy access to the fun of Universal's theme parks. Next year, they'll add three more to that lineup to accommodate the influx of guests likely to flock to Orlando when Universal Epic Universe, the resort's newest theme park, opens in 2025. Epic Universe is being built on a 750-acre site a few miles away from Universal's existing parks and hotels and will nearly double the size of Universal Orlando Resort, further exacerbating the need for additional hotels.
