Experience the Ultimate Glamping Retreat Near Mount Rushmore

Jeffrey Johnson06 mins
Summer calls for a road trip, and I was excited for a long weekend exploring the great outdoors of South Dakota’s Black Hills, a small mountain range in the state’s scenic western corner — and the home of theMount RushmoreNational Memorial. Some 2.5 million visitors come to Mount Rushmore every year, and many of them stay in the bustling town of Keystone. It offers plenty of hotels and motels with giant buses parked right out front, along with tourist shops hawking Mount Rushmore T-shirts and other souvenirs. I, however, was looking for a property that would provide an experience more in keeping with the area’s wild open spaces.

Discover the Historic Self-Governing Town of Mitchelville: America’s First Black Community in South Carolina

Jeffrey Johnson012 mins
As a Black American woman with deep Southern roots, I cherish opportunities to learn more about my history. My father was born on the Gulf Coast of Alabama, and my mother was born in a rural North Carolina town that still doesn’t have streetlights. They took part in the Great Migration, fleeing the Jim Crow South in the mid-1950s and early ’60s to escape segregation and persecution. Both wound up in New York City, where I was born.

The St. Regis Kanai Review: Luxury in Riviera Maya, Mexico

Jeffrey Johnson013 mins
Mexico is in the midst of a luxury renaissance — particularly, in some of the hot spots that were previously thought of as touristy but not elevated. I’m talking about Cabo, I’m talking about Cancun. No, all of the Señor Frog’s have not closed (sorry), and the cheesy all-inclusive factories haven’t vanished. But recently, some ultra-high-end hotels and resorts have opened nearby. Instead of being in the center of the action, hotels from top brands like Rosewood, Auberge Resorts Collection, and One&Only are debuting in the private gated communities popping up around the country (see Mayakoba, Mandarina, and Punta Mita, for example). I went to one of the newest resorts on the Riviera Maya — in the gated community of Kanai — to see if true luxury could be found within an hour of the Cancun airport.
