Americans don’t have to go far to find themselves on one of the best islands in the continental U.S., but those who live in the Southeast will have the shortest journeys. Year after year, readers give resounding applause for destinations in Florida, which is home to five of this year’s best islands. Four more favorites sit off the coasts of Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. It’s also worth noting that this category was the most competitive it has ever been, as domestic island vacations were many Travel + Leisure readers’ first choice for vacations throughout the pandemic....

The Napa Valley Wine Train is bringing back its popular murder mystery rides this season, with themes including throwback adventures set in bygone decades, like the 1920s and 1980s. Working together with the theatrical company The Murder Mystery Company, this year’s Murder Mystery Tours are being offered on select dates through October 27 as two-hour long adventures aboard the vintage trains, including a multi-course gourmet meal from executive chef Rodrigo Cuadra....

Unfortunately, some of the most exclusive locales on the East Coast are among the most difficult to get to. Limited — or non-existent — commercial flights force travelers to choose between long drives in bumper-to-bumper traffic or hopping onto packed trains and buses. Wheels Up, a private-aviation company known for its engaging activations and easy-to-book app, is making it far easier to get to these summer destinations with the return of its Nantucket shuttle, along with several more seasonal routes....

Few sounds travel through the mountain ranges surrounding the Frontier Drive-Inn, in San Luis Valley, Colorado. There are nearby balers threshing hay, conveyor belts moving potatoes from the earth to a transport truck, and a robot softly humming as it creates 3D-printed “Skylos” made from Adobe mud. The futuristic machine seems inconsistent with the natural landscape as it deposits mud in a circular pattern, but the emerging structure does indeed feel befitting of the area....

You know you’ve found a keeper in a carry-on when it’s up to just about any task you throw at it — whether you’re traveling for work, a wedding, or a concert.

When it comes to a relaxing getaway in the Empire State, Travel + Leisure readers point north, crowning the Finger Lakes’ Inns of Aurora as the Best Resort in New York in the 2022 World’s Best Awards. Located in the lakeside village of Aurora, New York, just over an hour drive from both Rochester and Syracuse, the Inns of Aurora is actually a collection of five individual properties: The Aurora Inn, E....

The Transportation Security Administration is preparing for a busy week ahead, expecting Thanksgiving holiday travelers to even reach pre-pandemic levels. Expecting to screen as many as 2.5 million passengers on busy days like Wednesday, Nov. 23, and on Sunday, Nov. 27, the agency is preparing passengers with helpful tips on everything from how to get through security smoothly to what foods they can (and can’t) bring with them in a carry-on suitcase....

It’s been almost three years since Kobe Bryant and 13-year-old daughter Gianna (aka “Gigi”) lost their lives in a helicopter crash, but Vanessa Bryant is making sure her husband and daughter’s contributions to basketball live on. The Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation and Body Armour teamed up together to inspire the next generation of athletes in Chicago by renovating several basketball courts in their honor. Vanessa shared the exciting news with her Instagram followers, writing, “So proud of our first renovated court with @DrinkBODYARMOR in Chicago....

The internal battle of the royal family continues to escalate. When one side throws a punch, the other comes back swinging. News of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s upcoming tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey made headlines (just a reminder it’s March 7, so mark your calendars), and it’s announced that Queen Elizabeth will also give a televised statement hours before Harry and Meghan’s interview airs. Harry and Meghan take a step back from royal life, moving to California, and Queen Elizabeth strips them both of their patronages and royal titles....

No, it’s not as bleak, wet, and cold in the U.K. as you think. Yes, it rains an awful lot, and the weather changes so fast you’ll barely notice the rainstorm heading toward you, but it’s an island nation, after all, so cut it some slack. However, despite the unpredictable mercury, the sun is known to come out from time to time (generally for two weeks in July or August)....

From Adidas running shoes for just $34 to Apple AirPod dupes that are only $27, these deals are so good, you may just want to pick up a few for yourself too....

For those seeking to travel to every national park in the United States, visiting some of the northernmost parks in the country might provide an extra-special experience: seeing the northern lights. Also known as the aurora borealis, this atmospheric light show is created when charged particles from the sun impact the Earth’s magnetic field and fluoresce. Though the best viewpoints for the northern lights are around latitudes between 65 to 70 degrees north in a region known as the auroral oval or zone (which runs through northern destinations like Alaska, Canada, and Scandinavia), you can still see the northern lights well south of that range if conditions are just right....

Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova are one pretty private couple. However, the pair, who have been married for 18 years, just celebrated a very important milestone together that they’re sharing with the rest of us: their twins Lucy and Nicholas‘ third trip around the sun.

This special round of park programming kicks off on Tuesday, Sept. 13, at the Kīlauea Visitor Center Auditorium....

How time flies! 16 years ago, Heidi Klum and ex Flavio Briatore welcomed baby daughter Leni Klum, who went on to be adopted by stepdad Seal. Today, baby Leni is out in the world as a teen model, kicking off her own career and taking the world by storm at this year’s Berlin Fashion Week. While Leni undoubtedly brings her own Gen Z flavor to the modeling world, it doesn’t hurt that she’s inherited her supermodel mom’s genes to a tee — as in, to the point where we can barely tell these two apart....
