By the time I reached my mid-thirties, I had accumulated a modest collection of mismatched dinnerware, a few chipped mugs, and a set of wine glasses that had survived multiple moves.

It is hard to write about Alaska without sounding cliché. The state is simply that magnificent. A place where the landscapes and wildlife, climate, and seasonal shifts are larger, and at times more extreme, than anywhere else in the U.S. A largely roadless, uninhabited, and still very wild section of the planet, Alaska's nickname of The Last Frontier rings oh so true.

The Caribbean may get much of the glory when it comes to powdery sand and turquoise water, but the United States has its fair share of beaches that offer similar magic. From Florida’s Gulf Coast to the islands of Hawai’i, these U.S. beaches stand out for their crystal-clear water, soft sand, and easygoing energy. Some are tucked along remote stretches of protected coastline; others hide in plain sight in vibrant, beach-loving cities.

“So, who challenged me to a game of chess?”That’s how Sir Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group—the global brand behind everything from airlines to cruises to record labels—greets us as he steps onto Valiant Lady’s upper deck in Bimini, piña colada in hand, wearing a plain white T-shirt, jeans, and sunglasses. “It was me,” I say. There is a chessboard already set up at The Dock, one of Virgin Voyages’ breezy outdoor lounges.

Spent all day staring at my screen writing this one. So I'm taking the advice of the experts I interviewed and logging out for the weekend (well at least of work): https://t.co/Mieri9UHr7 #digitaldetox #wellnesstips #contentcreator #putthephonedown
