Welcome back to the planet!
Picture this: your bag is packed, your out-of-office is on, and nobody needs you to figure out dinner. Now, where are we going?
Before we pick a place, let’s pick a feeling. A deep breath? A little excitement? That lovely moment when you forget what day it is?
Hilton’s 2026 travel trends report points to two ideas worth borrowing: quieter escapes and trips inspired by personal passions. Here’s how I’d put them on our travel vision board.
A little less on the itinerary
One lovely thing planned for the day, with room for a long lunch, a beach walk, or absolutely nothing. We don’t have to turn every vacation into a scavenger hunt.
Follow your favorite thing
Cooking, photography, live music, your favorite team—sometimes the thing you love is the best excuse to go somewhere new. Pick the experience first; we can build the getaway around it.
Spotlight On… The three-night escape
Three nights can leave room for one slow morning, one little adventure, and a dinner you’ll still be talking about next week. Choose somewhere easy to reach, stay in one place, and resist filling every hour. A short trip deserves a little breathing room, too.
A beach chair, a city wander, or a little adventure—which are you choosing? Tell me what sounds good. And forward this to the person you’d take along!
Until next week,
