Santa Teresa, a laid-back beach town on Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula, has been on my list of places to visit for quite a while. I’ve long felt drawn to its palm-fringed beaches, surf culture, and pura vida spirit. So, when COVID-19 restrictions began to lift as my son’s first birthday loomed on the horizon, it felt like it was meant to be. To me, travel is the greatest gift.

On the Jan. 11 episode of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, the actor revealed that his daughter Lea wasn’t exactly filled with Christmas cheer when she opened her gift from him. “For those of you that have kids, they really push that Ghostbusters laser on every commercial in between cartoons, so she wanted that, so Santa gave her that,” Cooper told Colbert. However, she wasn’t exactly thrilled. “She’s like, ‘Where’s the laser, though?...

Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas are A-list movie stars, but that certainly doesn’t mean they have any chill at their 21-year-old son Dylan’s college graduation.

New Zealand first reopened to vaccinated tourists in May, including from the United States, before dropping pre-arrival testing rules for those vaccinated visitors in June....
