As plans gear up for Pride Month in June, festivities are coming together at various hotels and resorts across the US that will appeal to travelers looking to celebrate Pride in style. These hotels are doing more than waving a rainbow flag. They are offering special hotel packages for Pride that stand out with welcoming celebrations and promotions. It’s estimated that more than 3 million people will travel to Washington D.C. this year specifically for 2025 World Pride celebrations on June 7.

Puerto Rico has been on our list of awesome places to visit for several years. After so much time in the spotlight recently, our curiosity was piqued and we committed to exploring this friendly island. So close and yet so far, Puerto Rico is a large part of our history and culture. Yet it’s separate in ways we wanted to understand better. After hearing about great experiences from friends who have enjoyed trips there, we set out to visit San Juan. We wanted to experience its warmth for ourselves.

Loreto is one of those special destinations in Mexico that we dream about in Baja California. It’s small, quaint and quiet (but not sleepy). There are no stumbling crowds of Spring Breakers. The food is incredible, and the oceans warm and swimmable. But the one thing that keeps Loreto on our list of top Mexico vacation spots is its location right on the beaches of the Sea of Cortez.

After traveling into Mexico by using the incredibly easy CBX Cross Border Xpress bridge, I can safely say this is the best way to travel to Mexico from Southern California. Not only does this border crossing make things easy, it also provides access to far less expensive flights within Mexico. Because you are traveling on domestic flights from Tijuana to other Mexican airports, the airfare is sometimes less than half the cost of flying from San Diego or Los Angeles.

I am writing to express my concerns regarding the actions of Marco Island Councilor Gray. Since being sworn in this past November, Councilor Gray has demonstrated a pattern of advocating for actions that appear to be in direct conflict with Florida law. For example, during discussions on beachfront vegetation trimming, Gray suggested that the council “look the other way,” effectively encouraging the disregard of state regulations.
