☆ 7 Holiday Gifts for Travelers That Are Actually Useful (and Reasonably Priced) in 2023
  + stars: | 2023-11-16 | by ( Clint Carter | Kiera Carter | Matthew Kronsberg | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
FLIGHTS OF FRUGALITY A good gift is one someone will actually use. When it comes to travel, that means choosing things that reduce stress—and up the enjoyment. If that’s not in your budget, choosing a gift that they’ll find useful and that you can afford can be tricky. Bells and whistles: A zippable laundry compartment ensures dirty socks never defile dry-cleaned blouses. The option to use either short or long handles allows for, respectively, close-to-chest security or easy pairing with a rolling suitcase.

These food-and-drink gifts offer outstanding value as well as deliciousness and delight. Gifts of food and drink and the trappings that go with them—a party in the making. This tart-sweet marmalade delivers the complex flavor of calamansi—a fruit that’s like lime, kumquat and tangerine all in one—grown on Oahu. There, jam master Akiko White relies on her grandmother-in-law Tutu’s recipe to produce a citrus stunner that makes a marvelous croissant topper, vinaigrette booster and cocktail brightener.

☆ Why Your Next Vacation Should Be a Language Class Abroad (Hint: It’s Nothing Like High School)
  + stars: | 2023-10-26 | by ( Matthew Kronsberg | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
DIVE IN Language programs abroad go beyond apps or even conventional classes by combining instruction with immersive experiences where the language is spoken. IN LIMA and I am in bed, half awake, mentally conjugating verbs in Spanish. Grammar hasn’t had such an insidious hold on my consciousness since high school, when my failure to learn French convinced me I was facing a monolingual future. And so I signed up for a week of classes at Peruwayna, a language school located in the bustling Miraflores district of Peru’s capital. The curriculum’s rigor attracted me—each day of the roughly $223-per-week “super-intensive” program would start with four hours of small group classes.

A flight helps her tackle onerous tasks that she struggles to find time for on the ground, like getting to the mythical Inbox Zero.

☆ No Ordinary Food Tours: What’s Next in Culinary Travel Takes You Deeper

HOW FAR would you travel for really great smoked fish? The trip to visit Woodcock Smokery, over four hours southwest of Dublin, and its celebrated founder, Sally Barnes, feels like a voyage to the end of the world: up a barely paved road to a lonely hillside with views of mountains and green meadows, a scant mile from the sea. It’s less a place one stops to grab a bite than the endpoint of a quest to meet a guru.

ThermoPop 2Some grillers favor the poke test to determine a steak’s doneness. Another finger contortion for those who trust the fate of a great steak to such a move: the L-for-loser sign. An instant-read thermometer is far more accurate. To guarantee cooking to the precise point you want, you can’t do better than the ThermoPop 2.
☆ ‘Succession’-Worthy Vacations: Where Should Shiv, Kendall, Greg and More Go After the Finale?

PLOT LINES Planning a trip can be as complex as planning a succession, as Shiv, Roman and Kendall surely know. Photo: Claudette Barius/HBOWHEN, ON May 28, “Succession” reaches its finale, fans will be left to muse on where the Roys will head next in their family drama and what scenic spots they might seek out to recover from all the filial backstabbing—or to engage in even more. So many enviable locations figured in the series, from the Juvet Landscape Hotel near Valldal, Norway, where the Roys conferred with rival Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgård) to La Foce, one of Lady Caroline’s (Harriet Walter) nuptial-weekend villas. So we asked Bellini Travel founder Emily FitzRoy (who consulted on Italy locations for the show) and other luxury planners to imagine real-life escapades for the “Succession” cast—or you, if you have the budget—after the end credits roll.
☆ Adventure Awaits in the Scottish Highlands—for Those Who Make the Trek

I HAVE LONG been of the mind that the harder a place is to reach, the better it must be. That bit of folk wisdom hasn’t always worked to my advantage, but a trip to the west coast of Scotland left me more convinced than ever. The odyssey began at the former fishing village of Badachro, a 70-mile drive west from the city of Inverness. Those driving the scenic North Coast 500 route detour here for elevated pub grub at the Badachro Inn, with its views of Loch Gairloch. He issues each visitor a passport; mine was number 14,933.

GETTING TO the Milkweed Inn, run by chef Iliana Regan and her sommelier wife, Anna Hamlin, is not easy. The drive from Chicago to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula takes six hours, ultimately on rutted dirt roads deep inside the Hiawatha National Forest. And that’s if you’re able to get a room in the first place. The 2023 season and much of 2024’s are already sold out. There is some consolation, however, for fans who have followed Ms. Regan’s career from her Michelin-starred Chicago restaurant, Elizabeth, now closed, through her 2019 memoir, “Burn the Place,” an unflinching account of her farmhouse upbringing, her grappling with addiction and gender identity, and her emergence as a chef: Her new book, “Fieldwork” (Agate Midway), comes out Jan. 24.
☆ A Cozy Long Weekend in Dublin, a Truly Walkable City
  + stars: | 2022-11-26 | by ( Matthew Kronsberg | Photographs Al Higgins For The Wall Street Journal | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
IF LOS ANGELES FEELS like it was designed for the driver, and New York City for the subway passenger, Dublin, one could say, was made for the pedestrian. It remains true today; few places better suit a weekend of wandering. That a historian can be a local celebrity testifies to the degree to which the past remains present here. Dublin is an ideal place to indulge, since you’ll be sure to walk it off. DAY 1 | SATURDAY8:30 a.m.: Arrive at Dublin Airport, just over 6 miles north of the city center.
☆ In Defense of Christmas Markets: Why You Should Embrace the Kitsch

TO THE MARKET WE GO For the maximum dose of holiday cheer, book a river cruise or a guided land tour that focuses on European Christmas markets. THE FIRST TIME I visited a Christmas market, my mood was anything but festive. ’Twas the night before Christmas, about 20 years ago, and my wife and I had just arrived in Germany. Rushing past vendors selling intricate ornaments and blown-glass angels, wooden toys and sweetly inscribed gingerbread hearts, we found one selling hand-knit crafts. I bought a thick, woolly pair of spruce green socks and exhaled (fresh socks are irrationally key to my happiness).
