Like most of my Global Traveler colleagues, I travel a lot. Unlike most of my GT colleagues, pretty much all of my travels are domestic. This year promises more of the same.
I always make many trips to Rockford, Ill., to watch the Rockford IceHogs. The IceHogs of today are the Chicago Blackhawks of tomorrow. Even on the overnight stays, I don’t really count the 50-mile trip as travel, though.
Already on my calendar are my annual trips to Novi, Mich., located just west of Detroit, and Indianapolis, Ind., for Comic-Con events. This year I am adding Madison, Wis., and St. Louis, Mo., to the list. These are all driving road trips.
In a few weeks, I will fly to Fort Myers, Fla., for a family vacation. Sometime in the spring, I will flying to New York for GT’s annual Wines on the Wing airline wine competition event. During the summer, I will fly with friends to an undetermined city for our 16th annual baseball trip; Seattle, Denver or Houston are the front-runners.
Over the last two years, I fell in love with the Chicago Bandits, a women’s professional softball team. This summer, I will take at least one road trip to Akron for a series of games with the Racers.
At some point in the year, a trip to Las Vegas for fun will take place, while another trip will take me to Columbus, Ohio, to visit cousins. This puts me at 10 trips already (not counting the IceHogs games). I am sure I will add a few more along the way. It’s a bit odd, though: The older I get, the more I travel and the more I like traveling. I won’t fight it; I’ll just go with it and go to more places. — John Wroblewski, online contributor

Apr 16, 2025Grand Hotel Des Bains Kempinski St. Moritz Review
Switzerland’s most storied ski town (the one, in fact, credited with pioneering the very concept of Alpine tourism), St. Moritz legendarily attracts the rich, the famous, celebutantes and the wannabes. Yet, there’s something compellingly earthy about the place, a town on a lake rich with natural environs, where winter sports and summer activities draw athletes and mountain lovers aplenty. As at the mountain restaurants (where some arrive by chairlift rather than muscle movement, and all types of diners and imbibers convene), Grand Hotel des Bains Kempinski St. Moritz straddles the old and new, the lavish and the understated. The hotel, one of St. Moritz’s oldest, opened as a spa haven in 1864, set atop a healing mineral spring.
