Best Vacations: by Car, by Ship, by Foot, Once in a Lifetime If travel for you is less about escaping life and more about living it, then consider these vacation ideas: BY CAR East Coast of Australia: There may be no better way to experience this amazing continent than by driving along its east coast, stretching from Melbourne in the south to Cairns to the north. This 2,500-mile drive carries you through rainforests, cities, mountains and the outback, with the blue waters of the Pacific as a constant companion. Be sure to carve out time for the Great Barrier Reef, snorkeling, kayaking and hiking along the way. BY SHIP Northwest Passage: For hundreds of years explorers tried, and failed, to find the fabled Northwest Passage. Travelers can now discover what eluded so many brave adventurers. Begin your journey in Greenland, sail pass its fjords, and you’re on your way. As you penetrate deep into the Arctic, you’ll scrape against icebergs and marvel at the harshness and sublime beauty at the top of the world. But, it’s not just ice. See the remains of explorations that came before you and the polar bears that call this home.

JUNE 2017 BY FOOT Camino de Santiago, Spain: Sometimes adventure is a journey to discover ourselves. This medieval pilgrimage through France, Spain and Portugal to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in northwest Spain can take you weeks or months. Travelers can recover from a day’s walk at one of the some 300 refugios that offer food, drink and a clean place to sleep. It’s a mystical experience that gives you time to reflect on life, learn about yourself, and connect with kindred spirits. ONCE IN A LIFETIME Botswana, Africa: One of the most sparsely populated nations on earth, Botswana is dominated by the Kalahari Desert and the Okavango Delta, the world’s largest inland delta, and now a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Okavango is the ideal spot to safari as its waters attract a richness of wildlife that is unmatched on the continent. The country’s focus on minimizing human impact means that your African experience will be both primal and transcendent. TRAVEL WITHOUT THE BAGGAGE Air travel is stressful. While some stress may be unavoidable, like the long lines at security, other sources of stress, like dealing with luggage check-in and baggage claim, can be reduced. If you think checking in luggage for your two-week vacation is inescapable, think again. Here are some ideas to help you get by with just a carry-on and by-pass the hassles (and fees) of checking in luggage. HOW TO PACK LIGHTLY There are several simple strategies that may help you survive your next getaway with only carry-on luggage.

Start with a Small Bag Humans tend to fill up the space allowed them. So, start your packing with a bag that will meet the carry-on criteria. Mix and Match Pack clothes that can be mixed and matched so you can wear a variety of outfits with fewer clothes. Bring the Right Clothes Ready-to-wear and fast-dry apparel will allow you to more readily reuse clothes. Two Shoes Maximum Shoes take up a lot of room, so consider a one pair for active use and another for the casual nights out. Don’t Bring What You Can Buy If you can buy items at your destination (e.g., shampoo and suntan lotion), then don't take up valuable space with these items. Consider not just what you pack, but how you pack it. Use space efficiently by rolling your clothes and using your shoes' foot space for packing smaller items. And finally, have fun and travel safe!
