Welcome to a special (and surprise!) weekday edition of our weekly travel newsletter The Journey. We just published The Best Summer Trips for Every Kind of Traveler, and we thought we’d bring it to your attention sooner rather than later. Summer doesn’t technically start until June 21, but you're gonna want to start planning right now if you haven't already. So, in the interest of making your life easier, we’ve gone ahead and tapped some of our best and brightest travel writers for a list of summer sabbaticals that'll meet the needs of every possible type of vacationer. The result is a compendium of their favorite places around the world, from Snowmass to Bangkok. Plus, we’ve got their most tried-and-true booking tips and the gear they never leave home without. We hope you discover something that wasn’t already on your radar and you’re inspired to make it happen. Now, seriously — get planning. And don’t forget sunscreen. —Lindsay Rogers, Travel Editor |
