From the Martian-like landscapes of Sossusvlei and Deadvlei to the harsh Skeleton Coast, characterized by wind, sand dunes, and skeletons of whales, seals, and wrecked ships littering the beach, Namibia is a country of contrasts.

There is no better place to start your magical tour of Peru than in its capitol – a place where you can absorb history, appreciate colonial architecture, explore Inca ruins, taste some of the best Peruvian cuisine in the world, and shop to your heart’s content for textiles and garments made from the amazing Alpalca fiber. Since all international flights must go through Lima, why rush off to Machu Pichuu or the Amazon before you experience Lima.

After two years of being married, my Peruvian husband wanted to move back home. I love adventures and adapt easily; I wold all my belongings in New Mexico and followed him. Now, I live part-time in Peru and part-time in Las Vegas. Moving to a new country is a life-changing experience, and my decision to relocate to Peru for my Peruvian husband was no exception. After only two years of marriage living in the US, my husband wanted to move back to Peru and asked me to come with him.

As a travel writer and frequent flyer on many different airlines around the world, I am seldom impressed with onboard flight innovations that usually are designed to appeal to an elite, select few. But Turkish Airlines, the flag carrier for Türkiye (Turkey), just impressed me big time.

When flying to international destinations, it seems that many airlines get you there late in the day or you discover that you leave early in the morning for your flights back home. That is why proximity to the international airport is key to reducing anxiety over missed planes due to traffic congestion and early and late hours. Courtyard San Jose Airport checks all the boxes.

Situated in Flagstaff just off Interstate 40, Elev8 Flagstaff is a jewel at high altitude. They advertise themselves as a base camp for everything. As such, the hotel is right off the interstate and can conveniently serve as a hub for many of northern Arizona’s experiences. Nearby is Northern Arizona University, only a 5 minute drive, while popular Sedona is a 39 minute drive. And the South Rim Grand Canon is only a 90 minute drive.

Let me confess for the sake of transparency. I am not a fan of franchises. But when in rural areas, I do find that franchises offer you a consistent standard of comfort that is reliable, no matter where your travels may take you. As we were moving from Albuquerque to Las Vegas after emptying out our U-Haul storage locker, we found Holiday Inn Express Bernalillo to offer a level of cleanliness, comfort, and familiarity that we needed after a long day of packing up our moving truck.

For those who yearn for tropical exoticism blended with a lively Latin culture, look no further than Puerto Rico. The big plus: U.S. citizens and permanent residents don’t even need a passport or visa to travel here, as the island is a U.S. territory. If traveling from the United States, all you need is a valid ID, such as a driver’s license or state ID card. It also means English is widely spoken. However, because of Spanish colonization and heritage, Spanish remains predominant.

Airport hotels are not what they used to be. My experience in the past was that most airport hotels are well-worn, with minimal service, and poor-quality amenities. And sometimes with beds that are no longer firm, aging out of their useful life cycle because of overuse and poor quality. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. My husband and I recently stayed at Comfort Suites Albuquerque Hotel. It was a most pleasant surprise when we saw how clean it was.
