Tubac, AZ

Arizona is more than its frequently photographed mesmerizing natural wonders. An array of culturally rich towns can be found throughout the Grand Canyon State, including Tubac, in Santa Cruz County. Located in the Sonoran Desert, less than an hour from Tucson, this former Spanish colony (the first in the state) dates back to 1752. As such, it is considered to be one of the state's oldest towns. But Tubac has risen to prominence not for its age but rather for its artistic community. It's a mecca for creatives who come for its vast natural beauty, scenic mountain views, and more.

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.

Hawaii State

Travelers headed to the Hawaiian islands, particularly Oahu, who plan on driving should heed this Hawaiian heads-up: Driving and parking your vehicle around the island can get very tricky. It's understandable that tourists grab rental cars to explore Oahu since there are so many things to do there beyond Waikiki Beach, but adventure by rental car is best had when prepared for local driving and parking conditions. The biggest surprise for Hawaiian tourists renting cars is that most meters, even those close to or in larger towns, still only accept coins. While "smart meters" that accept credit cards are being rolled out in downtown Honolulu, parking meters around Oahu and other islands largely remain coin only.
