Our journeys not only provide us with new experiences, but they create memories and Facebook posts that last a lifetime.

It’s no wonder, then, studies confirm that traveling makes us so happy. In fact, the joy of planning a getaway can be just as fun as the trip itself.

So where will you go this year? Where will you create your new memories?

We hope our latest issue of our Travel magazine provides you with plenty of inspiration – whether you’re dreaming of a vacation across the globe or close to home.

Join us as we explore Sri Lanka’s east coast, which is rebuilding after a long civil war and the Boxing Day tsunami that stole 40,000 lives. Enjoy the twists and turns – and even a few pints – as we hike through Ireland. Travel aboard a train from Chicago to San Francisco, soaking up the sites along the way.

Looking for something closer to home?

Don’t miss our illustrated guide to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Or our ideas on finding some of the most relaxing places in the Southeast. Or our tips for taking that perfect drive on Highway 27 through Georgia.

In this issue, we’ll also provide you with plenty of insider tips to make the most of your journey.

Did you know, for instance, that Amtrak allows small dogs and cats to travel with you? Or that the restaurants around Banff National Park double as a foodie’s paradise? Or that the Falkland Islands provide the perfect backdrop for penguin watching?

Wherever your travels make take you, be safe, have fun – and most of all, enjoy the new memories.
