Ultimate 8-State Train Adventure: Discover the American West’s Grand Canyon, Pacific Coast & Petrified Forests

Amtrak’s Southwest Chief train route travels between Chicago and Los Angeles, stopping in eight states along the way. There’s nothing like a train trip through the American West to take you back in time. As you travel through the vast expanse, it’s all too easy to imagine a lone cowboy riding in the distance or a group of Natives rounding up a herd of buffalo. This nostalgic feeling is alive and well on theAmtrak Southwest Chief route, which travels between Chicago and Los Angeles on a less-visited course.

Discover the Luxury Hotel and Extreme Beach of St. Martin: A Unique Caribbean Destination

Saint Martin is a unique gem among picturesque Caribbean destinations: one wondrous island split between two separate countries. Dutch Sint Maarten and French Saint-Martin have coexisted peacefully here since the Partition Treaty of 1648. (No wonder they call it the “Friendly Island.”) Nearly all of its 2 million annual visitors fly into the Dutch side, home of Princess Juliana International Airport (and its world-famous beachfront runway). Though most of the main tourist attractions are within French borders, wherever you end up on the island, you won’t be far from pristine surf, boutique beachfront hotels, and colorful cafes and bars teeming with local flavor. Here’s how to map out your ideal St. Martin getaway.

Top Bahamas Cruises for Island Hopping and Onboard Entertainment

A cruise to the Bahamas is a tempting vacation treat—so close by, and yet so sunny, warm, and different from the mainland United States. The allure of white sand as soft as powdered sugar and the appeal of pale-blue waters is undeniable. Once there, you can snorkel, dive, and admire the fish-filled reefs that are common in this region. Lucky for U.S. residents, these semi-tropical destinations are fairly easy to reach from Miami, Port Canaveral (near Orlando), Port Everglades (Fort Lauderdale), and even New York City, all popular embarkation points for Bahamas cruises. However, if you leave from Manhattan’s West Side cruise ship terminal, you might end up adding several days of boat time onto your adventure.
