Travel

Love nature but still want to sleep in comfort and wake up to a hot cup of coffee? Try glamping, a style of camping where you can stay in well-appointed safari tents with the comforts of home.

My favorite thing about staying at the new Kimpton Shane in Midtown Atlanta was the spectacular view from our room.

With eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms, this 8,000-square-foot home on Lake Lanier near Gainesville can sleep up to 30 people.

Enjoy gifts for travelers like a backpack made from recycled plastic, a portable power pack that charges your phone and can jump your car, a floating wet bag and our new favorite travel pillow in this year’s gift guide.

After I figured out how the foot rest worked, I stretched out my legs. “This may be the most comfortable seat I’ve ever sat in.”

I don’t play golf.

Footsteps in empty hallways, ghostly apparitions, lights flickering on and off and things that go bump in the nights.

My husband, Chris, has savored a lot of flaky pastry in his search for the best almond croissant in the United States.

I’ve done my share of 14-hour sightseeing tours in a new city, and get a thrill from ending my day with sore feet, a phone filled with hundreds of new photos and closing my eyes in a new bed with dozens of new memories.

The weather is cooling down, the leaves on the canopy of Atlanta’s trees are starting to change and it’s time to spend more time outdoors.
