As the holiday season approaches, there's a place where the spirit of the festivities comes alive amidst the rolling vineyards of Napa Valley: Merry Meritage at The Meritage Resort and Spa.

Las Vegas—a city where indulgence knows no bounds, and brunch is not just a meal but a rite of passage after a night of revelry. Amidst the shimmering lights and ceaseless energy of the Strip, a Southern comfort classic is making a sophisticated splash: biscuits and gravy, reimagined and elevated in three distinct ways.

For the past 20 years, my wife and I have been avid attendees of music festivals. We've camped in tents under starlit skies, borrowed RVs that rattled down dusty roads, and more recently, we've been exploring festivals in our trusty pop-top camper van—a perfect home on wheels that even our soon-to-be six-year-old son adores.

Winter is a great time for a cruise, whether you're looking to escape the cold or embrace it with an adventure to colder climates.
