Valparaiso, IN

When you see a picture of Valparaiso's hills covered in bright-colored houses it's hard not to do a double-take — wait a minute, is that a photo or a painting? The blocks of vivid, intense color have such an artful composition that it's hard to believe this view exists in reality and wasn't dreamed up by the mind of a painter. It's a cityscape that simply feels too beautiful and otherworldly to be true. You can avoid Barcelona's crowds with a trip to Valencia, but why not go one better and head for this South American destination dupe instead? After all, Valparaiso, or "Valpo," has been called the Barcelona of South America for its architectural beauty and bohemian vibes.

New York City, NY

It's difficult to say what defines a city as walkable. Features tend to include ample sidewalks where traffic can be avoided, nice things to look at while walking on those sidewalks, and cool attractions you can duck into to get out of the sun. But the defining feature of a walkable city is usually an online list that designates a city walkable, whether people agree or not. In this case, the walkable winner is Philadelphia, as voted by USA Today, for the second year in a row. It has some of the worst-rated traffic in the country, so perhaps locals are being encouraged to get out of the car and walk.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

With a few exceptions, you probably don't touch — or perhaps even think about — your passport until you're prepping for your next vacation abroad. Maybe you've tied the knot and want to drop your maiden name from it, or perhaps recent plastic surgery has you feeling like it's time for a new photo. The worst scenario, though, is realizing your passport expired just days before your trip. That's why it's smart to renew it well before it expires. How early, you ask? Aim for nine months in advance. And believe it or not, the easiest way to renew is still the old-school way: snail mail.

Vermont State

Grand Isle, VT

While the Green Mountains may embody the very name of Vermont — a portmanteau of the French words "vert" (green) and 'mont" (mountain) — they also obscure the coastal experiences in and around Lake Champlain, which forms the western border of the state. As the sixth largest lake in the United States, it often feels more like a sea, an impression underscored by its archipelago of islands. There are just over 70 islands in its waters, with the largest located in Grand Isle County, about a half-hour drive north of Burlington and a little over an hour from Montpelier, a city that will remind visitors of France. For much of the state's early history, these islands were the domain of farms and orchards, with tourism more focused on the mountainous ski villages on the mainland. Today, even more couples cross the sandbar to seek the summer side of Vermont.

The worst time for your wallet to visit the Caribbean might be during the winter travel high season, but even more frightening than high prices is a devastating storm surge. September's hurricane risk makes it the most dangerous month to plan a trip to the Bahamas. According to NOAA's historical hurricane tracks, the Bahamas has seen an average of almost two storms per year pass within 30 miles of shore since 1993. Not every year sees a storm, but some see multiple. In 2005, six different storms threatened Bahamian shores.
