Two years of travel restrictions and cruise cancellations have many longing to return to their favorite destinations and seek new ones. Here are some places to travel now:
Alaska
While May could be chilly in Alaska, it is the driest month with only a 25% chance of rain. As summer approaches, rainfall is much more frequent, and the mosquitoes are out in droves. In late May, the sun is out nearly all night. Fishing is good during this month, and the sun stays out until midnight in late May. Wildlife viewing is exciting, and the fishing is terrific.
Jackson Hole, Wyoming
Those seeking a relaxing vacation will find the least populated state in America, Wyoming, a welcome respite. The mountain town of Jackson Hole is known for its areas for skiing and snowboarding in the winter. In the third week of June, residents and visitors will enjoy the Jackson Hole Food & Wine Summer Festival. Visitors can also venture out to Yellowstone National Parks or visit nearby Grand Teton.
Savannah, Georgia
This beautiful coastal city in Georgia has hundreds of years of coastal history. While keeping its traditions and history, the brand-new Thompson Savannah is a modern 13-story tower with interiors by Studio 11 Design that anchor the still-developing Eastern Wharf neighborhood.
Belize
Located on the Caribbean coast of northern Central America, Belize shares this northern border with Quintana Roo, a Mexican state. On the west, it partners with the Guatemalan department of Petén, and on the south with the Guatemalan department of Izabal. Conveniently, major airlines now offer connections and nonstop flights from most American cities to this beautiful area with rainforest and a barrier reef.
São Paulo, Brazil
This heavily populated city in South America is an international metropolitan center of culture and the arts. There are many opportunities for entertainment in this city, such as iconic mid-century architecture, renowned museums, decadent restaurants, and fabulous hotels.
Pico, Portugal
Pico is the second-largest isle in the Portuguese archipelago. An otherworldly locale covered with black, volcanic rocks, Pico has grapes planted on this volcanic land protected from the Atlantic’s winds with rock walls. The wine produced from this mineral-filled area is slightly salty, but it is the perfect drink after a grueling hike.
