A story on Forbes.com has people abuzz over an old rule in Mexico travel that many never knew existed: Inbound travelers may bring in one electronic device—but pay a heavy tax if they are caught bringing in two.

Ushuaia, known as the city at the end of the world, is situated at the southern-most tip of Argentina and is famous for being the gateway to Antarctica.

When in Africa, you’ll often hear passing reference to Zimbabwe’s famed hospitality, and there’s nowhere that you’d appreciate it more than at the iconic World Heritage Site of Victoria Falls.

I was a child going on my very first flight when I stepped into the TWA Airlines terminal at JFK Airport. I remember being mesmerized by the modern curves of the building as I prepared to enter a plane with my family. Those feelings came back to me as I entered that same building, which has been reimagined into a hotel. While at first glimpse the hotel looks exactly as the terminal of the now-defunct …

But I digress. Let’s start at the beginning.

Our amazing adventure in Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon started with an email from Benoit Lafond, CEO and co-founder of Noovo, …
