Summer Festivals: Montréal & Québec City

Guys, I have a confession to make: My wedding is in three months, and my fiancé and I haven't planned our honeymoon.  I know, I know. I'm a travel editor. I'm in the business of lovey-dovey, Instagram-worthy destinations. I wrote 10 Most Romantic Islands in the World. I wrote Honeymoon Paradise for Less, for crying out loud. And now I'm telling you that when it comes to my own ultimate romantic vacation, I've got nada. OK, not exactly "nada." There are five destinations that my fiancé and I have been kicking around, but both of us have been too busy to research nitty-gritty specifics for our trip (oh, the irony). We want a beach vacation—the fewer people on aforementioned beach the better. He wants an overwater bungalow. (That's negotiable.) I want a remote destination where Wi-Fi isn't a guarantee, because the last thing I want to be doing with my new husband is crafting witty Facebook posts for my high-school friends. My deepest vacation fantasy is re-enacting that oddly prescient Corona commercial from a few years ago: throwing my phone into the ocean, never to answer it again. So I need your help. I want your best memories, your horror stories, and your heartfelt recommendations to guide me. Our wedding is in October, and we'll be flying out of California, most likely LAX. My fiancé and I like chic properties at reasonable prices, beautiful beaches, and free-flowing drinks—and I want to learn how to surf. From a romance, value, activity, and style perspective, out of these five destinations, where should we go? 1. Fiji Pros: So many islands to choose from! Three hundred thirty-three, to be exact (not all of them inhabited). I dig the idea of having a picnic on a private beach, and the far-flung factor is there in spades. Cast Away was filmed here: That's the very definition of "getting away from it all." Cons: The flight is almost 11 hours—not a short trip. And there are only a handful of overwater bungalows, which doesn't bother me, but my fiancé might take issue. 2. Bora Bora Pros: Bora Bora is honeymoon central. Even Morello in Orange Is the New Black deeply understood the significance of "Bora Bora Bora." And as prevalance of overwater bungalows goes, Bora Bora has many, a fact my fiancé loves. Cons: Bora Bora isn't exactly cheap. And because we've waited so long, we might have priced ourselves out of any stellar deals. 3. Tahiti Pros: A lover of Paul Gaugin's art, I've always fantasized about the island of Tahiiti as an exotic destination (even though the his portrayal of the place didn't exactly mirror his experience). Birdwatching, gardenias, beaches... What more do you need? Cons: Is the island of Tahiti too populated? Maybe we should consider going to Moorea instead, or elsewhere in French Polynesia, rather than hang out on the island proper. 4. Fiji + New Zealand Pros: New Zealand is right there! Might as well hop over if we've gone all the way to Fiji, right? Cons: This plan might be ambitious if what we really desire is relaxtion. The worst thing to do to yourself as a traveler is force yourself to do something that, deep down, you don't really want to do. 5. Honolulu, Hawaii Pros: My fiancé and I are huge, unapologetic Mad Men fans, and ever since I wrote Mad Men Travel Destinations, I've been obsessed with the Royal Hawaiian, a.k.a. the "Pink Palace," the hotel Don and Megan Draper stayed at on their honeymoon. I hear it's just as fabulous as it was in the Drapers' heyday. Plus, the flights to Hawaii are cheaper than any other destination on our list. Cons: Even though neither of us has been to Hawaii, staying in the U.S. isn't as exotic as either of us had envisioned. Plus, crowded beaches might be a concern. Did you have a romantic experience on one of these islands that you'd recommend? Or am I totally missing an option I should be considering? I wanna hear from you!

This article originally appeared on Fox News Travel. It's never fun to find crumbs on your airline seat or old coffee cups in your seatback pocket. If a clean aircraft is a must when purchasing a ticket, you may want to consider flying on Asian carriers. All of the top 10 airlines in Skytrax's annual World Airline Awards for cleanliest cabins were Asian. Taiwan-based EVA Air took top honors in the category, winning the award for tidiest seats, tables, carpets and lavatories.  Let's be clear. Skytrax didn't test for bacteria content on tray tables or inside the bathrooms. Rather, it surveyed responses from more than 18 million passengers on over 245 airlines to get its ranking.  Here is the complete list: 1. EVA Air 2. Singapore Airlines 3. ANA All Nippon Airways 4. Cathay Pacific 5. Asiana Airlines 6. Garuda Indonesia 7. Japan Airlines 8. Hainan Airlines 9. Korean Air 10. Hong Kong Airlines And if you really want to find out where germs lurk most on aircraft, watch this.

I could totally relate when I read last week about how 6-year-old Owen left his favorite stuffed animal, a tiger named Hobbes, at Tampa International Airport. When I was Owen's age, I had a beloved teddy bear (who still sits by my desk, a little worse for wear and tear, and watches me while i write). Owen’s mom, seeing how upset her child was, called the airport’s Lost and Found, and Hobbes was quickly located near a children’s play area. But what an airport official did before Owen and his family returned to Tampa was pretty amazing. Tampa’s Airport Operations Center Manager Tony D’Aiuto spent his lunch hour taking Owen’s toy tiger for a tour of the airport, snapping photos all along the way: at the air traffic control tower, at a gelato stand, in the airport employee gym, visiting the airport’s firefighters, swinging in the Marriott pool hammock, and taking a ride on a luggage cart. If D’Aiuto hasn’t already zoomed to the top of your travel-professional-of-the-month list, consider this: He used a Walgreens coupon code to print a hardcover book of photos, along with a story, that was waiting for Owen’s family at the Lost and Found when they returned to pick up the toy. “Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind.” –Henry James 

When it comes to food, what often strikes people are the things that just aren't eaten at home. In Cusco, Peru, what often strikes people is the number of places that offer pizza, especially for an area that has not seen a high influx of expats from either Italy or New York City. If all the hawking around town leaves you craving that cheesy pie, here are the three best places to satisfy your hunger. Justina, Calle Palacio 110; Open Mon-Sat, Dinner only, from 6 p.m. Relaxed and chill are the best ways to describe this small, out of the way pizza place. You have to enter a colonial courtyard where half of the building is in romantic ruin. Although I know renovation is inevitable, I can't help hoping it stays that way forever. The pizza place is in the back of the courtyard with a couple of outdoor tables and an additional five inside and upstairs. Seating is limited and the place is popular so it's worth getting there early. Choose from a wide variety of toppings; the price of a pie is quite reasonable, especially for the quality. Yummy garlic bread is served while you wait for your pizza to be cooked, served with a spicy salsa and garlic mayonnaise. Another reason this place is one of my favorites is the extremely reasonably priced wine. For drinks, you can also choose beer, soda or water; food options are limited to pizza and pizza alone. La Bodega 138, Herrajes 138; Open Mon-Sat, from 12 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Just down the street from Justina is La Bodega. (Please note that Cusco streets frequently have different names depending on the block you're on). Equally delicious, La Bodega features a slightly different style of crust as well as some different varieties of toppings. One of my personal favorites includes bacon, blue cheese, and sauco, a type of elderberry. La Bodega also gives you more choices than pizza: pasta, really superb salads, soups, and desserts are on the menu as well. Fairly priced wine also makes its appearance, with greater variety than those on the Justina list. Seating is not quite as comfortable here, but it definitely has a more upscale feel. When it's crowded, it can be a bit difficult to hear so if you're purposely looking forward to dinner conversation, this pizza place may not be the best choice. There can be a wait so if you try here and you can't get in, walk down the street to Justina. Another plus side is that, unlike my other two favorite pizza restaurants, La Bodega is open for lunch. La Cantina, Saphy 554; Daily from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. No mention of the best pizza in Cusco could be complete without including La Cantina. Although it is primarily a wine bar, people do go here just for the pizza—Italian style with a delicate wafer crust and featuring all Italian cheeses and meats (veggie options available as well). The pizza oven is small, only fitting one at a time and, despite being large in diameter, they are so light that they are personal-sized for a hungry person. Try some different toppings between the group so you can sample some of the varieties. In addition to the pizza, there are also cheese and meat plates, lasagna, and tiramisu for dessert. Most importantly, there is a huge selection of wines from Italy. As it is first and foremost a wine bar, the friendly and obliging staff are happy to open a bottle of whatever you like, even if you want just a single cup. However, the wine is so good, you're unlikely to be able to stick to just one!
