Taking a vacation means you should be able to do everything your way. From choosing where to stay and eat to picking what to do, it’s all up to you. So, you’d think you get to decide the temperature in your hotel room, too, but that’s not always the case. Many properties now use automated temperature controls to keep guests from setting their air conditioning too low. But if you like to keep your room frosty, the internet has a solution....

For weeks, inflation reports have detailed how far American money can stretch in this economy. However, that hasn’t stopped travelers from seeking out ways to ensure their cash goes the distance. When considering the increased cost of airfare, gas, and theme parks, coupled with stagnant salary growth, careful spending is even more necessary. Though $20 is rarely enough to fill up a gas tank and hardly comes close to keeping your refrigerator stocked for a few days, it’s still possible to eat well and have fun in various locations around the country....
Airbnb wants to help you have a spellbinding Halloween at (a recreated version of) the Sanderson Sisters’ cottage, of Hocus Pocus fame. The Sanderson Sisters’ cottage, located in the remote woods of Salem, Massachusetts, has been thoughtfully recreated, as though it, too, has been frozen in time for 300 years, and is now available for a very special rental. Of course, the rental is just in time for the siblings’ return in “Hocus Pocus 2," which comes out Sept....
You might think flying is easy — get on the plane, sit down, get off the plane. But there’s a set of rules to abide by when up in the air, despite many passengers ignoring them. Ultimately, the rules of the airplane cabin exist not only to make your life (and the lives of your fellow passengers) more comfortable, but also to keep everyone on the aircraft safe. While some regulations are actually set by safety standards, there’s a lot of etiquette involved with flying that’s technically unofficial....
A typical Croatia, Montenegro, or Slovenia itinerary for this Houston-based advisor might include: a visit to a local’s home near Split to learn the lost art of making “soparnik” (a pie-like dish); a rafting trip on the Soča River and hiking in Triglav National Park; or a cruise among the islands and inlets of the coast on a boat worthy of a James Bond film. Plus, stays at luxe properties like One & Only Porto Novi, Ikador and Maslina Resort....

She may be nine months pregnant, but Ashley Graham keeps on moving! The model, who is expecting to welcome her first child, a baby boy, any day now is doing everything she can to kickstart the birth — even if that means walking across the Brooklyn Bridge! In an adorable video captured by her husband Justin Ervin, the soon-to-be mama is seen power walking (or power waddle walking, as she calls it) across the bridge while bundled up in a black jacket, black leggings, and white sneakers....
Nature has formed plenty of water features that seem anything but natural: these bubblegum-pink lakes in Australia, the terraced Travertine pools of Turkey, and a blood-red waterfall in Antarctica. But this lake has an even cooler trick: at the same time every year, it overflows to up to 36 feet in depth and then “disappears almost completely” on its own. Karlo Curis / EyeEm/Getty Images Grüner See, which translates to Green Lake, is located in the Hochschwab mountains of Styria, Austria, near the village of Tragöess....
Bindi Irwin and husband Chandler Powell are super generous about sharing heartwarming moments on social media with their daughter, Grace Warrior. Seriously — there’s never a shortage of cute snaps, whether it’s a mom-and-me selfie of Irwin and her baby, or a funny photo of Grace bonding with the Australia Zoo’s animals. Irwin’s most recent Instagram photo is just as sweet — but the connection she just made between her wedding vows and Grace’s birthday is described by the new mom as nothing short of a “miracle....

Everyone was beaming with pride in Halle Berry’s family when her directorial debut for Bruised — a story that follows an MMA fighter’s life when it’s turned upside down after the boy she gave up for adoption comes back, leading her to fight her demons. While many just sat back and enjoyed the show, Berry’s daughter Nahla, 13, had some unexpected questions about sexuality.
