Looking for a mountain escape that's big on charm and low on stress? Say hello to Sion, the capital of Switzerland's Valais region, where medieval castles, beautiful vineyards, and cheese-laden feasts await, and all without the crowds. Getting there is simple. From the Geneva International Airport, hop on a direct train to Sion and you'll arrive at this charming city in about two and a half hours.

For many, embarking on a cruise is all about indulgence, taking full advantage of the sun-soaked decks, exotic port stop excursions, and bottomless buffets. However, there are many unwritten rules when it comes to dining on a cruise ship, whether you are just hitting the buffet or heading to a more upscale restaurant. For cruise goers seeking a fine-dining experience that won't sink their finances, consider a trip with Holland America Line.

Discover a flavorful Florida escape, tucked away just a mile west of Florida's Atlantic coast: Lauderdale Lakes. Not far from the breathtaking "Venice of America," Lauderdale Lakes is one of South Florida's most underrated gateways, full of diverse cuisine, public parks, and pools for summertime play. This small city packs a solid punch, and it's only a 20-minute drive from Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (FLL) via I-95 or Florida's Turnpike.
