Everyone has their summer vacation spot—the beach bungalow on the Outer Banks or the Jersey Shore, or the lake house in Michigan or Idaho where the whole family gathers every year. It's wonderful, it's nostalgic, it...gets old. What if you could convince the crew to visit, say, Isla Holbox in Mexico this Fourth of July, where there aren't any crowds or chain restaurants, the weather is in the mid-80s, and the hot new Punta Caliza resort just opened? Or maybe you plan that trip to Switzerland you always wanted to take because the Swiss franc is no longer stronger than the U.S. dollar, and resorts in St. Moritz are more affordable now than in the winter? Those are just two spots that are prime vacation destinations this summer—and there are ten more we recommend in this week's Travelogue podcast.
