Whether we're talking about a short layover or a long layover, most people tend not to love having their travel plans delayed — no matter how much overbooked flight compensation cash an airline might offer for the trouble. But depending on the crowds, service, and food offerings at the airport you happen to find yourself stuck at, some layovers can be much worse than others. When you're stuck hanging around a terminal for an extra four hours, a good coffee shop and decent seating can go a long way in terms of misery mitigation.

Cruises might sound like the perfect getaway, but they come with an unexpected catch that causes some to avoid taking a cruise. People getting sick happens more often than you'd like to think, whether it's the classic seasickness that clears up after a few miserable days or a sudden medical emergency that forces staff to kick you off the ship (to get medical attention, of course).

Unfortunately, this is because not all the food served on cruises is as fresh as you'd hope.

They go against the grain, may not be bright and cheery, or they are just different from what you normally hear. I’m talking about snagging a table when reservations are full… why cruise lines really offer discounts before the cruise… why most people should care less about loyalty programs… and much more.

A recent online discussion about how ice cream is served on Carnival Cruise Line ships has sparked conversation among passengers and the cruise line itself.

Michigan State

When you think of relaxing beaches and beautiful sceneries, Michigan might not be the first place in the world — or even in the United States — that jumps to mind. It's often associated with cold and humid weather, after all. However, there is a lot more to the Wolverine State than people might realize. It's one of the perfect places to gaze at the stars, chill on the beach, and experience nature at its best, such as Isle Royale, a remote national park in the Midwest bursting with adventure.
