Green Wellness Route, Slovenia

This summer the country’s tourist board launched a new Green Wellness cycling route. A looping cycle trail of nearly 200 miles linking natural spas, it starts in Ljubljana and heads north towards the Austrian border and then south-west towards Croatia, winding through mountains, plains and vineyards. There’s a castle on an island, a beer fountain and miles of wild flowers. The first leg ends in medieval Kamnik, a red-roofed town of castles and monasteries with a view of the mountains, Slovenia’s biggest arboretum (sporting 2m tulips in April) and the Terme Snovik spa in the forested Tuhinj valley.

Resorts along the route are all certified by Slovenian Green, which encourages recycling, renewable energy, arriving car-free, eco-friendly cleaning, locally grown food, natural building materials and so on. The spas offer pools fed by thermal springs, mineral waters to drink and wellness experiences involving salt, saunas,

Caravans are actually having a bit of a moment in the sun right now. Kitsch decor and funky designs are springing up in vans available to rent pretty much anywhere, but ours sits among lines of many others within Parkdean’s Southview holiday park, just a 10-minute drive from Skegness town centre.

Of course, you could be anywhere. The idea of ​​these holiday parks is they contain all your entertainment needs, so you don’t have to step outside the resort if you don’t want to – but it’s nice to have a beach not too

Flying over Labor Day Weekend? You might want to pad in some extra patience if you’re leaving from Chicago’s Midway International Airport. So far in August, nearly half (47%) of all flights have been delayed, earning Midway the dubious distinction as America’s worst airport this month for disruptions. That also makes it the number 1 airport to avoid over Labor Day Weekend, according to the deal-finding site Hopper.

The Windy City’s largest airport, O’Hare, has tallied up 27% flight delays in August, which, amazingly, is enough to make it the less risky option if you intend to get to your destination on time.

Likewise, let’s say you’re flying out of the Washington DC area for the holiday weekend. At Baltimore & Washington International Airport (BWI), a whopping 43% of flights have taken

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – The kids aren’t even back to school yet and we already need to talk about your holiday travel plans.

The time to book is now if it’s not too late already.

The picture isn’t pretty. We’ve all been seeing the issues the airlines are already having. Well, there is no sign it’s suddenly going to get better in November and December.

Want to fly over the river and through the woods to see grandma for Thanksgiving?

“It is a little late actually for planning at that time over holiday periods,” said Joe Weigler of Shadyside Travel.

“The longer you wait, the worse it’ll get because I don’t think you’re going see an increase. The capacity is very minimal by the time that the holidays roll around,” Weigler added.

AAA Travel’s Marita Williams agreed.

“If you’re only doing air, we’re good now,” Williams said.

Because we don’t have

The final days of summer are here and you won’t be lonely if you’re traveling through Seattle-Tacoma International (SEA) airport for the Labor Day holiday. About 10 percent more travelers will be at the gates over the holiday compared to last year. That’s still 10 percent less than pre-pandemic levels, but travelers won’t notice the difference – it will be busy! With that in mind, SEA Airport is encouraging travelers to think ahead, arrive early, be prepared for congestion, and find ways to make your trip easier with advanced planning or Be a Hero at the Airport!

Parking will continue to be a challenge as more travelers have been using their own vehicles, although our new automated parking guidance system now has four of the eight floors completed! Alternate ways to get to SEA are encouraged such as using rideshares, Link Light Rail, and public transit. Please factor in more

If you have a social media account and live in Australia, the chances are you spent this winter in one of three ways: on the slopes; on holidays somewhere in the northern hemisphere; or on your phone, inundated with envy-inducing images from those enjoying the former options.

Once upon a time, being a member of group three would have been torturous to me: friends sunbathing in Greece, influencers posting reels from the ski lifts, colleagues roaming around the south of France. But after two years of being unable to travel, my post-pandemic burnout meant that even contemplating a big holiday (read: parenting my children in a more exotic location) filled me with dread.

Instead, I holidayed from home, which basically meant sending my kids to school, taking time off work and doing absolutely whatever I felt like. I took baths, I went on walks, I experimented in the kitchen

Royal fans will know that some of the Princess’ favorite destinations include the likes of Ibiza, Italy and St. Barts where she has unwound from the comfort of a private yacht. In 2016, the 34-year-old boarded Roman Abramovich’s £1.5billion super-yacht Eclipse in Ibiza alongside other A-list guests including the likes of Oprah Winfrey and her best friend Gayle King. This year, however, the doting mother was spotted on a much humbler trip…

“Lots of people want to do the same thing at the same time this summer,” says Stan Caldwell, who teaches transportation and public policy at Carnegie Mellon University.

If you’ve already been on vacation, you know he’s right. If you haven’t, there’s still time to plan your travel defensively.

So how do you avoid the mass of humanity at the peak of the busiest summer travel season in a generation? Let’s start with the obvious pro tip for finding a little space on vacation: Go where there are no crowds.

“Schedule travel outside of rush hour,” says Caldwell. “Visit attractions during unpopular times.”

What does that mean for summer travelers?

“Beaches are the most popular destination type in the summer,” says Alison Kwong, a spokesperson for the vacation rental site Vrbo. “Demand for beach vacation homes in the Northeast and the Southeast is high, so an unexpected alternative can be

DENVER (KDVR) — Denver International Airport is the third-busiest airport in the world, with the holiday season being the most active time of year. Travel experts tell FOX31, the price of gas is decreasing which impacts jet fuel, but an increase in travelers who may have postponed trips during the pandemic could drive up fares.

One passenger tells FOX31, summer travel has been busy causing long lines.

“We almost missed the flight,” he said.

AAA of Colorado spokesperson Skyler McKinley tells FOX31, now is the time to book holiday travel because airports will be even busier in the coming months.

“I wouldn’t wait longer than mid-September,” McKinley said.

The upward trend in air travel means strong job numbers. Sixty-nine million passengers traveled through DIA in 2019 just before the pandemic. That number dipped, but revenge travelers, people just happy

My idea of ​​travel preparedness doesn’t always take into account the many mishaps that could potentially occur when venturing away from home. Because of this, I often find myself scrambling to find items locally, all while cursing myself in the process. If this sounds like you, listen up, because we took a peek into the suitcases of doctors to see just what lifesaving items they keep on hand whenever they go on vacation.

This might go without saying, but according to Dr. Sterling N Ransone Jr.president of the American Academy of Family Physicians and a full-time family physician in Deltaville, Virginia, having a really good grasp on your specific medical conditions or allergies and the medications needed to treat them is absolutely essential to vacationing safely. (The American Academy of Family Physicians does not endorse any products or services.)

“It’s important to include a one-to-two-day day supply of medications
