There are few things as restorative and rejuvenating as a change of scenery, whether that means getting away for a weekend in a neighboring city or a fullon road trip to a destination that will fill you with a healthy dose of summer inspiration. In this issue, our annual package of “Road Trip” stories focuses on vacation escapes for just about every interest imaginable. In Florida alone, we highlight unique resorts and experiences from Captiva Island to Islamorada, and from St. Augustine to a Wild West-inspired ranch. Just beyond our state lines, explore the natural jewel that is Cumberland Island. This barrier island in Georgia is renowned for its wild horses, as well as for its unspoiled wilderness and rich history. Farther north, discover Asheville’s Southern free spirit and revel in its youthful, artsy vibe. Get ready to dog-ear the pages of all the places you’ll go, starting on page 50. After making the tough call on where to escape to first, it’s time to prepare and pack. Turn to Balance, beginning on page 105, for nautical necessities that are stylish and ideal for a boating adventure. We’ve also got you covered with skin-saving sunburn treatments from local spas for those oh-so-regretful times when you return home to realize you basked way too long in the sun. When heading overseas, look to our expert tips on how to jettison jet lag, and check out a trio of apps that just might be your saving grace when faced with a medical emergency several time zones away. Ready to board the plane now? Not so fast. First, turn to Finds on page 34 for a variety of in-flight must-haves, including cozy creature comforts, entertainment, and tools for staying energized along the way.
