Multi-leg flights are an unfortunate product of air travel. Whether you’re headed to Sydney, Stockholm or Saskatoon, chances are that you’re going to end up making a connection somewhere along the way, and if you’re really unlucky then that layover could be for hours.

Not all connections translate to misery, however (unless you’re flying through Newark). In fact, many airports around the world are actually quite conducive towards spending a few hours on the ground, whether it’s because of the amenities within or the proximity to the city. At SuiteTrip headquarters we’ve been compiling our favorite layover spots for the last four years, and this month we finally took the time to distill our favorite out spots for your enjoyment.

As a matter of fact, there are two dozen festivals across the country dedicated to celebrating the cherry blossom.

Here is a glimpse at three of the country’s biggest festivals.

It’s springtime, and that means that my kids (and probably yours) are sweating over the social studies reports that are due . . .  WHEN???!!!  In my household, at least, these things tend to sneak up on me (don’t even get me started about the time my older daughter announced at 10:00p.m. one night that she had a United Nations feast at school the next day and was assigned to bring South African food).

This year, though, I decided to get out in front of the project – and what better way than with a trip to Washington, D.C.?  I have to say that my kids are at the perfect age:  old enough to stand up on the Metro and hold on tight, but young enough to get big-eyed over the Capitol dome.  Even better, they’re in that stage where they surprise me with what they know – did you know that the Library of Congress has, like, every book ever (I didn’t, and I write them).
