Saying the words 'mai tai' makes us smile and elicits thoughts of sandy beaches and swaying palm trees. But better than saying the words, we love sipping Mai Tai cocktails whether we're on vacation, in a bar or at home.

For some of us, enjoying a glass of white or red with dinner is a pleasurable experience. But we may not always want to spend a fortune on a celebrated brand or a vintage bottle. Thankfully, there is a large variety of fortified vinos, blends, and varietals for just about any budget, which means you do not have to spend an arm and a leg for a good bottle with a nice ABV, or alcohol by volume.

The matters of the heart are often elusive. What one man once coveted so deeply that even its shadow was unbearable, he abandoned just as swiftly. That man is Russian oligarch Yuri Shefler, the former owner of the 439-foot mammoth Serene superyacht. The $400 million motoryacht, now a floating palace of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, was commissioned nearly 20 years ago by Italy-based Fincantieri.

A Russian vodka billionaire, who vacated his $400 million superyacht on a moment’s notice when Saudi Crown Prince MBS bought it on the spot, once sued the shipyard that built the vessel because they constructed a similar-looking yacht for another billionaire.

Picture this: Golden beaches and rolling hills that stretch far as the eye can see, charming cobblestone streets, and the promise of mouthwatering flavors just waiting to be discovered around every corner. Welcome to the perfect Italian summer! From hidden beaches ideal for a secluded seaside escape to modern Italian cities with plenty of history and charm to explore, Italy has secured a spot in travelers' hearts as a top destination for all things sun, sea, culture, and cuisine.

The epic road trip is a classic summer staple that we look forward to every year. Whether it’s a trip to a nostalgic beach destination, a popular amusement park, or a National Park, we don’t mind spending hours in a cramped, sweaty car if the destination is worth it. And while we enjoy all of the sites we previously mentioned, a road trip is made even better if the final stop involves alcohol. Especially whiskey.

Hollywood child stardom has taken its toll on many actors through the decades. Lani O'Grady, for one, found fame in the 1970s on the TV family series, Eight is Enough. O'Grady followed in the footsteps of her brother, actor Don Grady, an original Mouseketeer and member of another popular TV family show: My Three Sons. Their mother, Mary B. Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.
