Top 5 Can’t MissStay at the Dogfish Inn, which has 16 charming rooms set beside the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal, within easy walking distance of the beach. Walk along the sand, catch a sunrise or sunset, bike the trails, and uncover some World War II history at Fort Miles. Slurp oysters at the Lewes Oyster House, a throwback to the 18th-century taverns that sprung up along the mid-Atlantic coast during colonial times.

Daybreak filtered through spindly stands of Terminalia trees, and the windshield glowed. It was September in northwest Zimbabwe, and the morning carried the lingering chill of an African winter. I rode at the head of a convoy that had been rumbling through the night. Campfires flickered eerily from the forest, where truckers ferrying copper out of Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo had stopped to rest. A towering man with slate-colored eyes yawned at the wheel.

These Bendites get your sticks in top shape for a slippery season on snow. You know the feeling. There you are, cross-country skiing along the first leg of the Tangent Loop at Meissner, when everything goes south. For me, it often happens after that left at the five-point intersection and the long climb toward Swampy begins. Sure, it’s uphill but it’s not that uphill. Suddenly I’m working 20 times harder. My form crumbles and lungs burst. Snowshoers are faster. What a drag.

I should be wrecked. It’s my first full day in South Africa after a brutal 33-hour journey from my home in Bend, Oregon. I woke at 3:15 A.M. to catch the first of three flights to Johannesburg, crossed nine time zones in economy class, and finally fell into bed at 9 P.M. Typically, my jet lag for such a long-haul trip lasts for days. Strangely, though, I feel great. I have no brain fog. I’m not dizzy or cold or getting any odd-hour cravings.

Paige McClanahan, a journalist and travel writer, is much too diplomatic to phrase it this way, so allow me to be the grump: you’re the reason locals so often dislike tourists. “Travel has become a consumerist exercise where the goal is to get our money’s worth out of a place,” McClanahan says in a phone interview from her home in France. “We need to wake up.

From a distance, the newest buses on London roads look like streetcars, with an aerodynamic shape and wheels that are mostly hidden. “You now see a lot of people on the …

It’s a misconception that extreme travelers must be wealthy—one person on the Azerbaijan trip tells me that he couch-surfs a lot while on the road, and occasionally sleeps in safe city parks—but Veley’s financial successes have opened a lot of doors for him. In 1991, in his mid-twenties, he helped start a business-analytics firm called Micro-Strategy that had him jetting around the world to establish new offices. The company went public in 1998.

Bachelor is open. The road is slick. Don’t be that driver. When Mount Bachelor opened on November 15, it was the earliest the lifts had spun since 1998. That means I got a jump start on being cranky. That has nothing to do with the mountain or Powdr Corp. or the way the Skyliner lot fills up hours before it used to back in the Old Timey times when two hand pulled pints at Deschutes with a burger and a side Caesar cost you $12. No, no.
