104 | Welcome to Europe

Welcome to EUROPE Even with a vast ocean between us, the lure of the Old World is inescapable, its magic, untranslatable. Americans have long been fascinated by the stunning lands many of our families came from; the life-altering impressions they leave are eternal. Every region in every country has its own deep, wholly unique roots. These roots connect intricately throughout the continent, a complex network from which sprouted the origins of nearly every facet of Western society and civilization as we know it today. Squint into the distance: you can still see the ghosts of rising dust clouds on roads leading to Rome or Athens. Time travel becomes easy when staying in a rustic chateau among the sweet lavender of Provence; cypress-guarded hills of sun-drenched Tuscany; or the exotic Moorish architecture of Seville. It simply stands still when sipping an espresso on the canals of Venice or Amsterdam; strolling the rose gardens of the English countryside; or while listening to the whistle of the wind through the heather of Scotland. Travel inland, and feel the rumble of carriages over age-old cobblestones, reverberating through your soles in places like Vienna, Budapest, and Paris. Crane your neck until you can stretch it no more to take in majestic spires that twist into the sun in Prague, London, or Barcelona. Trade those towers for whitewashed buildings capped in blue, or, turn your gaze skyward once more to mountaintops hidden by clouds, a jagged horizon of white and green across Switzerland, Austria, Germany, France, and Italy. Regardless of the European destination, the lasting impression you’ll take home is that it’s indeed possible to find yoBuarresntes Slfeaswept up in thReeykrjaovímk anICEcLAeNDof a fairy tale. The only question is, which story will you choose?

124 | Welcome to Hawaii

Welcome to HAWAII There’s only one place in the world where the warmth of the sun is eclipsed only by the warmth of the Aloha spirit. Where photos do no justice to the beauty that erupts through your senses and literally leaves you awestruck, squeezing your heart just tightly enough for you to feel...alive. The cool breezes that carry the echoes of ukuleles down shaded avenues and cliffside roads. Waves that tickle your toes on white, stunning red or black beaches, the same way schools of brilliantly hued fish nibble at them in the world beneath the water. The mighty bellows of smoke that send signals to the skies as gray grounds glow with slow rivulets of lava. The tangible slowing of time as hula dancers sway with the trees and shedding of cares as surfers of all ages crinkle their eyes with a smile and remind you to “hang loose.” All of these are the lasting impressions you’ll take home after your visit the Hawaiian Islands. An American paradise, the youngest of our 50 states incorporates the very best of domestic travel—from comfort, familiarity, language, currency and ease—with the laid back way of life and natural beauty only the tropics can provide. Will it be the wild jungles of Kauai that steals your heart, or the refined elegance of Maui? Will the bustling capital, Honolulu, be the reason you’ll return to Oahu, or the waves of its North Shore? Maybe the hot coffee and hotter volcanoes of the Big Island sing your siren song, unless it’s the peace and solitude of Lanai that croons quietly. If you’re fortunate, it’s all of the above.

134 | Welcome to Mexico

Welcome to MEXICO Awe-inspiring resorts, set on powdery sands on sprawling coastlines. Darling coastal villages, where fútbol is played by youngsters on the same streets the greatest European conquistadors and Aztec, Incan, and Mayan warriors once strode; where old traditions live on, tortillas are still handmade, chocolate is served spiced, and Mayan and Nahuatl flows like the rivers that run through the country’s jungle. These are only some of the lasting impressions made by the United Mexican States, the 11th most populated country in the world. Featuring a landscape that offers sugar-white beaches and cinnamon deserts, forgotten cities and remembered, and restored colonial hubs in between, it’s no wonder 15-16 million Americans cross the second-longest border in the world each year in search of paradise. They head south to feel the kiss of the sun on their skin and the whisper of clear water at their feet. The rush of warm air as they zip through lush rainforests, countered by the crisp coolness of a refreshing cenote. The taste of pestle-ground guacamole, filling tamales, savory barbacoa, or heavenly carnitas, spiced with fresh chiles and tempered with a cornucopia of tropical fruit and mild cheeses. From Baja California to the Yucatan Peninsula, the Gulf of Mexico to the Sea of Cortez, the magic of Mexico awaits, each destination eager to make its own lasting impression.
