American tourists are stereotypically thought of as loud, boorish, and tacky. They’re also sorely missed. “It’s a great time to be an American tourist.” Such a statement would have been nonsensical a year ago, when the COVID-19 surge in the United States was so grim that Americans, who are accustomed to traveling most places without issue, were considered personae non gratae across much of the rest of the world. But Tom Jenkins, the CEO of the European Tourism Association, stands by it: When European countries reopen their borders to tourists—as they expect to do this summer—they hope Americans will be at the front of the line.

In many countries in Southeast Asia, such as Myanmar, Thailand, Laos and Cambodia, the arrival of spring also marks the beginning of the new year. Songkran (สงกรานต์), as the festival welcoming in the new year is called in Thai, is often celebrated with playful water fights on city streets over the course of three chaotic days. In 2022, Songkran will begin April 13 and last until the evening of April 15. The dates are calculated via the lunisolar calendar, which accounts both for the movement of the sun through the zodiac and the moon’s cycles. Specifically, the dates mark the period when the Sun’s leaving the constellation of Pisces and entering Aries. Over these days, cities turn into playful battlegrounds. Children emerge armed from their houses and bands of revelers gather on the sides of the roads ready to waylay passersby. This, though, is a war with water.

I’ve traveled almost everywhere in Cuba: growing up on the island I spent my summers traveling from Havana to Pinar Del Rio to discover all of its treasures: Cayo Jutias, Vinales Valley, Cueva del Indio, Las Terrazas and much more.

As Hollywood boomed in the early 1930s, moviegoers wanted to see more of the world, and the film industry had the means to show it to them. Films set in exotic locations grew popular for this reason, with South Seas-inspired stories becoming a particular draw. Decades before South Pacific hit Broadway stages, films of the era featured white, male adventurers and native maidens grappling with magical island enchantment, shipwrecks, pirates, romance, and the like. They were a hit, and Polynesia became the de facto image of paradise in America’s collective imagination.

MANY an interesting craft has slipped quietly out of Vancouver harbor, during its fifty years as a port, through the First Narrows, past Prospect Point, and melted into the track of the setting sun upon some mysterious quest. But it is altogether likely that no more interesting craft, or one carrying a more interesting complement, has left this port than that which left a trail of smoke behind her she passed up Point Grey upon a certain January day of the present year of grace. The Gunner—a j not inappropriate name “mystery ship” in the I Great War, and engaged pretty regularly since then in the hardly less exciting pursuit of rum-running, was off upon a treasure hunt, her objective being Cocos Island, 3,000 miles away.

For your next trip, consider getting there by train. Take the Amtrak’s California Zephyr from Denver to Glenwood Springs to San Francisco; the Capitol Limited from Washington D.C. to Pittsburgh to Cleveland to Chicago; the Texas Eagle from St. Louis to Dallas to San Antonio; or the Empire Builder, which travels out west along sections of the Lewis and Clark trail, delivering you to Whitefish, near Glacier National Park in Montana.

AH, SLEEPER TRAINS. Meditate for a moment on those relics from the golden age of travel. Imagine yourself scuttling over the Alps at twilight, listening to the rattling of bone china, the clinking of whiskey bottles. Now picture yourself wedged into the middle of a packed airline cabin, hearing the blare of the engine and the snoring of your seatmate. Is it any wonder that night trains are back in vogue?
