History & luxury on a cruise of the lower Mississippi River

American Cruise Lines Our cabin on the American Symphony (top) rivaled those we have enjoyed in many an upscale hotel. The food and table settings were both five-star. The lengthy list of available activities in our temporary home away from home covered a wide diversity of interests. Oh yes, and there also were ample opportunities to explore inviting towns that provided deep dives into Civil War and other history, visit magnificent antibellum plantations and mansions with their lovely…

    Travel+Leisure has just gifted us with a bevy of romantic destinations in the USA for the fall. I´ve been to several of these, but never thought of them as necessarily ¨romantic,¨ but I can certainly see it. https://www.travelandleisure.com/trip-ideas/fall-vacations/most-rom...

    Wow, now friendly Canada has issued an official warning to its LGBTQ folks re travel to the USA. Fox ¨News¨ and its ilk are slamming it as misdirected when there are so many worse places where gays and lesbians are actually killed. But thanks to all the current homophobic jihads in Repub-ruled states, it´s leading to real-life violence in the US too, like the recent killing of the straight shop owner in California for flying the Pride flag. Even before this, years ago, there have been gay club shootings like at Pulse in Orlando, and now they will inevitably become more common. So yeah. danger for real. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/aug/31/canada-travel-warning...

    I've found New Hampshire a delight to visit in winter, including its skiing/snowboarding and picture-postcard scenery, villages, and towns. And the website TravelAwaits.com recently came out with a look at nearly a dozen of these towns. Want classic New England charm this season? Check out https://www.travelawaits.com/2553285/quaint-towns-in-new-hampshire/

    Leave it to California to progressive, "woke," whatever you want to call it, but I think this is a great idea: Visit California has just launched a marketing campaign called Visit Native California to promote cultural tourism around the state's 109 recognized tribes: https://www.afar.com/magazine/visit-native-california-program-seeks...

    The new Native-led initiative seeks to showcase the rich cultures of the state’s 109 federally recognized tribes.

    Several months ago the London-based travel site BigSevenTravel.com came out with "The best cities in the world for art and culture in 2022", including of course a number in the U.S. - and while many of them you would totally expect, there are a few you totally wouldn't: https://bigseventravel.com/best-cities-for-arts-culture/

    The news website Skift, which does a great job of covering all aspects of the international travel industry, just came out with this sobering look by Lebawit Lily Girma at how all the mass shootings, hate crimes and other dysfunction in the U.S. may pose a challenge for getting tourists to come visit. And I post it here because I'm quoted. Sad but true... 😥 https://skift.com/2022/06/15/the-troubling-new-reality-for-u-s-tour...
