South Africa is often thought as a “bucket list” destination, the kind of dream destination that you’ll visit someday. But instead of putting it off, how about doing it right away… like making it first place you go after you get married? South Africa has become an increasingly popular honeymoon choice as it offers so many varied — yet unique — experiences. Amanda and Neil had shared their incredible South Africa honeymoon with Travelogged.com; now, they approach their second anniversary, here’s a look back at their perfect three-week itinerary.

Nature and art lovers, unite! No need to make the difficult choice between spending time outside or looking at art when it comes to Storm King Art Center in New Windsor, NY, a sprawling sculpture park in the beautiful Hudson Valley. There actually is an indoor museum here, but I was too busy trying to cover as much of the 80 acres of rolling hills as I can, seeing works from Alexander Calder, Sol LeWitt, Maya Lin and more.

With a massive children’s museum, a pedestrian-friendly riverfront, and (free!) electric shuttle buses taking tourists around town, Chattanooga has a lot to offer families with young children. After years of living in London, frequent guest blogger Jill Martin Wrenn loves exploring around her home base of Atlanta. So when she wanted a family-friendly weekend getaway within a two-hour drive from her home in Atlanta, they headed to Chattanooga.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is a wonderful place to visit any time, but attending a party there afterhours on World Malbec Day was truly special. On April 17, Wines of Argentina celebrated World Malbec Day with a walk-around tasting at the Charles Engelhard Court in the American Wing of the Museum. Not only was the setting spectacular, but there were tango dancers and live music. The Argentines know how to throw a party!

At $2795 per night, most people can’t stay too long at this Great Gatsby—themed fantasy room. But you can bring it home with you! Yes, you can outfit your home just like The Fitzgerald Suite, as the identical chandeliers, lamps, desk chairs, sofa, bookends and more are available at RH, Restoration Hardware. Quite the souvenir!

When I heard about The Fitzgerald Suite at The Plaza Hotel, I couldn’t get there fast enough. The Great Gatsby movie and The Plaza Hotel are natural partners; not only did Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald frequent the Plaza but a scene from the book and movie takes place there. I was very excited to be invited to take a tour of the suite with Catherine Martin, who designed both The Great Gatsby and the suite.

Summer is almost here, so grab your raincoats and sweaters… Wait, what?! Yes, it’s the start of Alaska cruise season and you will need good outerwear if you want to see the breathtaking glaciers and adorable sled dogs. Alaska is an incredible destination best seen by a combination of land and sea (and a combination of raincoat and sweater), and I was lucky enough to experience it on a Princess cruisetour.

When I first wrote about Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, I focused on its vintage charms, manicured flower beds and fairytale vignettes. But Scandinavia’s most popular amusement park has a serious wild side as an antidote to all of that sweetness. Yes, there are major roller coasters and other scary rides that are not for the faint of heart.

For some, travel is all about bragging rights. “This one time in the Amazon…” “If you think that Thailand is great then you’ve got to get to The Philippines …” “So I just got back from space…” And that person who just got back from space could be YOU if you win the KLM Royal […]
