Travelers seeking extraordinary experiences should consider French Polynesia's cruise offerings. Despite setting records with 52,000 cruise passengers in 2024, these numbers represent what busy Caribbean ports handle in a single week. This relative solitude creates a more authentic, uncrowded experience whether you choose Windstar's tall ships, the luxury Paul Gauguin line, or the unique half-cargo, half-cruise vessel Aranui. For maximum value, consider repositioning cruises connecting Hawaii, French Polynesia, and Australia/New Zealand, with 14-day voyages starting at just $1,640 per person.

Wildlife enthusiasts will find paradise in Costa Rica's biodiversity hotspots, particularly the Arenal volcano region and Manuel Antonio National Park. The hanging bridges, Sky Tram, La Fortuna Waterfall, and natural hot springs near Arenal provide thrilling encounters with howler monkeys, sloths, toucans, and countless other creatures. Mark recommends splitting your vacation between these two regions for the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.

American Airlines' upcoming carry-on policy changes reflect a broader industry trend toward stricter enforcement of baggage dimensions, now including wheels and handles in measurements. And beware the dangerous TikTok "airport theory" suggesting 15-minute arrival windows before flights – a recipe for missing your vacation entirely.
