As the State Department has rolled out a pilot program to renew passports online, one user confirmed to Travel + Leisure that the process was simpler than he expected. “In terms of just getting [it] out and submitted, it was a fairly seamless process,” traveler Matt Kneller told T+L on Thursday. “It was a fairly straightforward experience.” Rather than print out reams of paper and mail it all in, the entire process took less than an hour, he said....

The passing of a loved one is always a sad time, but the royal family might have gotten a gift this year with the pandemic happening in Prince Philip’s final year of life. It gave everyone, especially Queen Elizabeth, the gift of time. What many people don’t realize is that after her husband of 73 years retired from public service in 2017, they spent quite a bit of time apart....

Presents are nice, and sweet treats are a huge perk of this time of year, but nothing compares to seeing friends and family during the holiday season. Especially during a global pandemic, when many of us haven’t seen loved ones in a long time. James Van Der Beek recently shared a tear-jerking video of his kids reuniting with their best friends — and we can’t stop crying! In an Instagram video posted December 25, the Pose star wrote, “Sometimes the best gifts don’t fit down a chimney…” The video — which you have to watch with the sound turned on — shows his kids Olivia, 11, Joshua, 9, Annabel, 7, Emilia, 5, and Gwendolyn, 3, whom he shares with wife Kimberly, running down the street toward a car....

Kim Kardashian’s 42nd birthday on Friday, Oct. 21 was all about friends, family, and form-fitting outfits. The reality star made sure to flaunt her body and promote her SKIMS line at the same time. She gathered with her sisters, Kourtney, Khloé, Kylie, and Kendall (and yes, momager Kris Jenner was there, too), for a birthday celebration that was filmed for their Hulu show, The Kardashians. Kim made sure her outfit left very little to the imagination by wearing a black SKIMS bra top and bottoms and adding a sheer white lace dress over the top....

Kim Kardashian‘s son Saint lost his first tooth over the weekend, but unlike most kids, he wasn’t interested in the traditional cash gift from the Tooth Fairy — he wrote the magical creature a letter asking for something a little different. Kim shared a snap of Saint’s handwritten request on her Instagram Story, which read in adorable little kid writing, “Can I please have Robux instead of monny (sic)?” Clearly an avid gamer, Saint’s request for Robux refers to the digital currency used on the gaming platform Roblox....

When wintertime comes around, we load up on many things that help us get through those cold nights and snow-filled days. Most importantly: lotion and balm. Seriously what would any of us do without it? No one likes that feeling of cracked, dry skin. It’s uncomfortable and can make you feel miserable during the winter months. And of course, we aren’t talking just about humans. Sure, there are cute dog collars, harnesses, and even pet cameras but have you heard of ointment for your dog’s paws?...

There aren’t many places like Mt. Baker Ski Area left. In fact, Gwyn Howat, the Washington state ski area’s CEO, estimates it’s one of just four or five still standing in the U.S. “We are one of a handful of ski areas our size that remains originally owned and independently operated in the U.S.,” she told Travel + Leisure. That means that while Baker still offers the same world-class powder skiers and riders look for in larger mountains, it isn’t owned by a real estate investment company or private equity firm....

A royal visit costs a pretty penny, and Boston is paying the check.

According to data released on Monday, per records requests, $105,267.57 of the total cost went toward police overtime. The office of tourism was responsible for $58,772....

There were so many fabulous looks on the Emmys arrival carpet tonight. Honestly, we had a difficult time keeping track of the best fashion statements we saw over the course of the evening. From Sandra Oh’s fabulous purple jumpsuit, the cast of Yellowjackets, and even more of tonight’s best dressed, it was really a feast for the eyes. Of course, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention Reese Witherspoon’s incredible Armani blue dress, which we completely fawned over....

Kourtney Kardashian is blissfully in love with fiancé Travis Barker, but there is one person from her romantic past who isn’t going anywhere: Scott Disick. He, of course, is around to co-parent their three kids together, Mason, 12, Penelope, 9, and Reign, 7, but he is also a big part of the Kardashian inner circle, and it looks like he’s bringing someone else into the fold. Pete Davidson and Kourtney’s ex-boyfriend have been hanging out quite a bit lately with Disick documenting their friendship on Instagram — his most recent clip showed the comedian hopping into girlfriend Kim Kardashian’s pink Moke electric car....

As travelers returned to the skies in 2021, they relied on airlines to get them to their destinations not just safely, but in style.

Mother Nature wasn’t modest with America, where her handiwork ranges from magical desert mesas to wooded river valleys to whisper-thin barrier islands. You might even say she was particularly heavy-handed when doling out American scenery.
