Booking the key parts of your Swiss vacation can be challenging, especially when you're trying to figure out what needs to be reserved early and what can wait. Knowing what to secure in advance helps the rest of the process feel more manageable. In this episode, which is Step 3 of our Four Steps to Planning Your Swiss Vacation series, we're covering the bookings that create a strong foundation for your trip: accommodations, panoramic train reservations, and rail tickets and passes. You'll also hear helpful Switzerland travel tips to make this stage of your trip easier to manage.One of the most important things to secure ahead of time is your accommodation. If you're hoping for a balcony with lake views or a room that fits your whole family, it's important to plan early. The same applies to hotels with air conditioning or lifts, which aren't standard in every building. Booking early lets you choose comfort and location, instead of settling for what's left.Scenic rail journeys are a highlight for many travelers. Panoramic trains like the Glacier Express, Bernina Express, and Gotthard Panorama Express are popular for good reason. But they run on limited schedules and require seat reservations, especially if you want to ride in Prestige Class on the GoldenPass Express or sit on a particular side of the train. These panoramic trains are well worth the extra steps, and booking early helps you avoid missing out.Many travelers wonder about train tickets and rail passes. Prices often stay the same, but booking early spreads out costs and gives you one less thing to handle during your trip.If you're creating a Swiss itinerary and feel like the logistics are getting complicated, there are easier paths. Booking a private tour or joining one of the curated small group tours gives you support while still allowing for adventure. For independent travelers, Swiss rail packages offer structure and ease without a guide.Tune in for full details on what elements of your Swiss vacation you should book well ahead of your travel date.Happy travels,Carolyn

The desert doesn't whisper here—it sings off canyon walls. We headed to Big Bend to chase that sound and came back with a pocket full of must-do hikes, a few hard-won driving tips, and a fresh respect for how wild West Texas still is. From the instant payoff of Santa Elena Canyon to the echoing turns of Boquillas, we show you how to thread quick stops with immersive moments so you actually feel the place, not just check it off.We start along the Rio Grande, where pale desert frames a sudden surge of green. The Rio Grande Village Nature Trail surprised us with boardwalks and birdsong that felt more Louisiana than Chihuahuan Desert. A flood-damaged road kept us from the Hot Springs Historic Trail, so we traded soaking for summits and took local advice to tackle Lost Mine. With a knowledgeable guide from Big Bend Boating and Hiking, the Chisos Basin unfolded in layers—geology, plants, and long views that shift every step. If you've only got one big hike in you, make it this one.Then we swapped boots for a Jeep and rolled out with Far Flung. Abandoned mercury mines, Terlingua ghost-town lore, and the red-tinged bones of the desert gave the landscape a different edge. Our guide balanced history and wonder, a combo that matters in a park where beauty and risk run side by side. We also mapped the drives that tie it all together: Barton Warnock's museum-like visitor center, the overlook to Closed Canyon, and a free dark sky star party where the Milky Way looked close enough to touch. Finish with a golden-hour ascent to the Chisos Basin Lodge road—less for the lodge itself and more for the light that sets the ridges on fire.If you're planning Big Bend, this guide packs quick wins, deeper routes, safety smarts, and the best ways to see more with less stress.

Tiangong Space Station's Stranded Crew: The Shenzhou 21 crew aboard the Tiangong Space Station faces a precarious situation after the Shenzhou 20 mission astronauts returned home using their capsule, which was damaged by space debris. With no immediate escape vehicle, the crew awaits the uncrewed launch of Shenzhou 22, highlighting the risks posed by space debris in low Earth orbit.NASA's Scenic Route to Mars: NASA's Escapade mission has launched twin probes, Blue and Gold, that will take an innovative detour to Mars. Instead of heading directly, they will first travel to the second Lagrange point (L2) to study space weather for a year before using Earth's gravity to assist their journey to Mars in 2027, providing a unique 3D view of the Martian atmosphere.Upcoming Leonid Meteor Shower: The Leonid meteor shower is set to peak on November 18, but this year's display may be underwhelming, with only five to ten meteors expected per hour. Earth is passing through a sparse debris stream from the parent comet Tempel-Tuttle, leading to a quieter show than in previous years.Discovery of a New Super Earth: Astronomers have discovered a new super Earth, GJ251C, located just 18 light years away. Positioned in its star's habitable zone, this rocky planet is a prime candidate for future observation with next-generation telescopes, which may help to identify biosignatures in its atmosphere and advance our search for extraterrestrial life.For more cosmic updates, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

Steve and I share our learnings (and laughs) from Scenic Sundays - a day once a month we set aside with no agenda, no plan, and no rush. Just faith, flow, and following what feels good.Scenic Sundays have brought us some of the greatest memories and moments in our relationship. They're the kind of days that remind you what presence actually feels like: deep chats in the car, spontaneous detours, belly laughs, and finding new places we never would've discovered if we'd stuck to a plan.We talk about:How Scenic Sundays began and what it's taught usLetting go of rigidity and trusting intuition to lead the wayThe balance between structure and spontaneityHow creating space for flow opens up new ideas and opportunitiesThis three year ritual we've committed to leans into our motto, 'adventure awaits'. It's probably one of my most favourite things in our relationship.Buy my book, Authentic - coming home to your true self - AUS, EUR, USACoach with me 1:1 - Book a 20-minute call nowThe Good Life - sign up nowSunday Meds - check it outWrite into us - let us know what you want to hearWelleCo - use code KAT15 for 15% off welleco.com.auwww.katjohn.com.auSupport the show

Want fall roads that aren't just postcards but proper drives? We lay out a practical, enthusiast-friendly map of autumn routes that pair tight turns with big color: Blue Ridge Parkway's banked curves and layered foliage, the Cherokee and Nantahala forests with their 900–5,000 ft rhythm, Talimena's ridgetop vistas in the Ouachitas, and Arkansas's double feature—Highway 23's Pig Trail and the long, rolling canvas of Scenic Highway 7. You'll hear when to go for peak hues, where the panoramas hit hardest, and why these segments keep both the driver and the passenger happy.Then we flip through real-deal window stickers from the “good old days,” decoding how options once defined personality: four-speeds that changed everything, drag packs that whispered intent, and destination fees that existed long before today's eye-poppers. Without EPA labels cluttering the page, these Monroneys reveal a different buyer mindset—displacement, gearing, tires, and paint telling a clear story about purpose and pride. It's nostalgia with numbers, not just vibes.We close with a candid review of the 2025 Toyota Prius that might change your mental picture. Sleek lines, serious aero, and 220 combined horsepower turn a former punchline into a compelling daily. The two-cluster cockpit works well, the ride is smooth, and the real-world fuel numbers impress even without plugging in—while the plug-in capability adds flexible range for short commutes. Pricing spans the low 30s to mid-40s as tested, with few direct rivals matching its mix of efficiency, design, and usable torque. If your garage makes room for roads that wind and cars that earn their keep, this one's worth a test drive.If you enjoy these road-tested routes and candid reviews, follow the show, share with a friend who loves fall drives, and leave a quick rating—what route should we feature next?Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

through an old railway guide he had found at a used bookstore.No: Hans øyne lyste opp hver gang toget krysset en historisk milepæl.En: His eyes lit up every time the train crossed a historical milestone.No: Likevel følte han seg ofte alene i sin entusiasme for gamle tog.En: Yet, he often felt alone in his enthusiasm for old trains.No: Da toget bremset for å gi et perfekt bilde på utsiktspunktet, sukket Astrid.En: When the train slowed to provide a perfect picture at the viewpoint, Astrid sighed.No: Hun hadde ikke fått den "perfekte" bildet hun hadde håpet på.En: She hadn't

camera.No: Da de nådde enden av vognen, glødet solen gjennom rutene og badet hele kupeen i et gyllent lys.En: When they reached the end of the carriage, the sun glowed through the windows, bathing the entire compartment in a golden light.No: Astrid løftet kameraet og knipset øyeblikket.En: Astrid raised her camera and snapped the moment.No: Bildet fanget ikke bare lyset, men også kjernen av hva denne reisen betydde.En: The picture captured not only the light but also the essence of what this journey meant.No: Hun følte en bris av kreativitet fylle henne.En: She felt a breeze of creativity fill her.No: "Dette er det," sa Astrid med glød i stemmen.En: "This is it," said Astrid with excitement in her voice.No: "Dette var det jeg trengte.En: "This was what I needed."No: "Lars smilte, mer

help."No: "De satte seg ned igjen, og Astrid takket Lars oppriktig.En: They sat down again, and Astrid thanked Lars sincerely.No: Hun visste nå at hennes blokkerte kreativitet bare trengte litt ny

hans glede, og oppdaget hvordan hans lidenskap faktisk kunne inspirere andre.En: He had found someone who shared his joy and discovered how his passion could actually inspire others.No: Der, mens

had changed them.No: Astrid hadde funnet veien tilbake til fotografi gjennom spontanitet, mens Lars hadde fått mot til å dele sine interesser med verden.En: Astrid had found her way back to photography through spontaneity, while Lars had gained the courage to share his interests with the world.

Tire damage deemed too severe for continued long-distance touring, prompting complete itinerary overhaul.   Key Highlights 5 AM Red Bull run - James's thoughtful breakfast procurement while Tim sleeps in Equipment curse continues - Second bike, same problems for James's borrowed setup Bike Newport saves the day - Last major bike shop on coast provides crucial tire conversion Strategic retreat activated - Both riders pivot to Eugene ending for maximum certainty Financial silver lining - Trip changes actually save money on cancelled Medford logistics   Route Details Lincoln City to Newport: ~25 miles through official bike route (hilly and exhausting) Extended stop at Bike Newport for mechanical crisis management Final 4 miles to South Beach State Park Tomorrow: Abbreviated plan toward Florence before Eugene bus   Mechanical Drama Timeline Morning discovery: Slow leak confirmed in James's tubeless rear tire Newport arrival: Tire immediately starts "spitting sealant" Shop diagnosis: Tire damage too severe for tubeless repair Solution: Convert to tube in rear, maintain tubeless front ("mullet setup") Reality check: Tube setup is temporary fix, not permanent solution   Cultural Observations Newport bike route: Scenic but punishing for loaded touring South Beach State Park: Tim's favorite coast campground (tied with Cape Lookout) Yachats mystique: Tim's long-desired exploration of this coast town finally abandoned Eugene adventure: First-time visit for longtime Portland resident Tim   Food & Beverage Strategy Breakfast: Red Bulls and bananas (James's 5 AM procurement mission) Newport: Extended hydration break during mechanical crisis Dinner: Beer One brewery (skipped lunch strategy) Evening: Junior Rangers fire ecology program spotted but not attended   The Ship of Theseus Situation James notes he'll return a completely different bike to his friend after replacing virtually every component during the tour - a philosophical equipment conundrum.   Statistics Miles Biked: 25  Original plan survival rate: 0% Hours spent at Bike Newport: 1.5 Ounces of tubeless sealant sacrificed: 6 Tubeless fails: yes Nontubeless flats: Zero

Sugar House Distillery (South Salt Lake, UT) WF0040 After an incredible drive up through one of (if not) the most beautiful states in the country, I made my way to South Salt Lake in Utah for my third stop on this western swing of the Great 48 Tour. My host is James Fowler of Sugar House Distillery. If you thought High West was the only name in Utah spirits, you're in for a surprise.  James took me on a tour of the distillery, the barrel room, and then rolled over a cart filled with whiskey bottles, where we taste through Utah Bourbon, rye, and single malts. While sipping, we'll talk about how customers react to single malt, James' evolution from beer to distilling, and the special conditions James deals with in Utah.  For fans wanting an even deeper dive into the tastings including their vodka and beer inspired Bourbon, become a member of the Whiskey Lore Speakeasy at patreon.com/whiskeylore and get an extra 30 minutes of this interview, plus additional travel information. At the same time you'll be supporting this independent podcast. 

Hop aboard the Cass Scenic Railroad for a visit with the people who keep the steam trains running.Also, we head to the woods and take a master class in foraging for wild mushrooms.And, the makers of Angelo's Old World Italian Sausage still use a century-old family recipe. Customers love it. You'll hear these stories and more this week, Inside Appalachia.

  "My wife and I are considering Benton, Little Rock, or Hot Springs (including Hot Springs Village). We have family in Little Rock. We want to find 5-10 acres." "Hot Springs Village is appealing to us because of all the golf courses, but we'd like to have a few acres. We know Benton is the nearest town to Little Rock. Would it be feasible for us to own a lot inside HSV so we could play golf, but to find some acreage between HSV and Benton?" "What is the drive like between HSV and Benton?" "We seriously considered HSV, but when we found out we couldn't find acreage so we could have horses, we decided we needed to look elsewhere. You've mentioned the drive from HSV to Benton. Do you think we might find something in that area?" These are just a few of the curiosities I've had about this area. It's exciting that so many of you are working hard to get this phase of life right! While Hot Springs Village isn't ideal for everybody, it seems some are fond of this area of Arkansas. So today, let's take a drive back from Benton to Hot Springs Village so you can see for yourself the drive down Highway 5 once we exit I-30 in Benton.   • Join Our Free Email Newsletter • Subscribe to Our YouTube Channel (click that bell icon, too) • Join Our Facebook Group • Support Our Sponsors (Click on the images below to visit their websites.) __________________________________________ __________________________________________

The Rowena Fire and Burdoin Fires affected communities along the Oregon and Washington sides of the Columbia River. Many of the structures destroyed were part of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. The region has legal protections in place to preserve its natural and recreational resources, although the areas typically have some people already living there.    The Columbia River Gorge Commission helps create and enforce policies that preserve this area. Krystyna Wolniakowski is the executive director of the commission. Alex Johnson is a commissioner. They join us with more on what rebuilding looks like in a region with special protections and how the commission is working with property owners and residents on post-fire recovery.

Today, Rev. Wendy Craig-Purcell's theme of "Scenic Overlooks " encourages pausing without guilt to notice beauty and cultivate awe in the present moment. Drawing on wisdom from Taoism, scripture, and research, it emphasizes that rest, joy, and gratitude are not rewards we earn at the “finish line,” but practices that sustain us along the way. By taking daily scenic pauses and sealing moments with gratitude, we learn to see abundance and joy as ever-present companions on our spiritual road trip.Website: http://www.theunitycenter.net Download Our New App: https://theunitycenter.churchcenter.com/setupAsk Yourself This: https://www.amazon.com/Ask-Yourself-This-Questions-Expand/dp/087159336XSubscribe to our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/2hBqp7F Purchase Lesson Series Packages: https://theunitycenter.net/sunday-series-packagesListen to our Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6YJWcAhQUnkEHFqBXQmz1G

Andrew, founder of Tulip Valley Farms—a vibrant, immersive flower farm in the heart of Washington's Skagit Valley. But Andrew's path to farming is anything but traditional. From his early career as a U.S. Air Force intelligence officer to high-level roles at tech giants Amazon and Expedia, he's built a career defined by bold pivots, community commitment, and strategic vision.Raised in Mount Vernon, Andrew returned home after years in the corporate world to invest in his roots—literally. With a law degree, MBA, and master's in organizational leadership, he leveraged his diverse background to launch Tulip Valley Farms, a business now recognized nationally for its experiential approach to floriculture and farm tourism.He opens up about being colorblind and how he and his wife Holly—Tulip Valley's self-appointed Chief Color Officer—have made it work. We also dive into the challenges of entrepreneurship, including his removal as CEO from a previous tulip venture and how that setback ignited the vision for something even greater.Andrew shares how Tulip Valley Farms blends agriculture, innovation, and storytelling to create authentic farm experiences—from U-pick tulip fields to hands-on events. With features in national media and honors from the World Tulip Summit, his farm is not just beautiful—it's a blueprint for how agritourism can inspire, educate, and thrive. Want Farm4Profit Merch?

What makes a trip through France truly unforgettable? In this episode of the Join Us in France Travel Podcast, titled Memorable France - Exploring Historic and Scenic Locations, host Annie Sargent chats with Ken Ives about his 25-day journey through some of the country's most meaningful places. Ken is a thoughtful traveler from California who planned a route filled with both beauty and history. He shares what it was like to stand in the silence of Oradour-sur-Glane, see 29,000-year-old cave art in Pech Merle, and take in sweeping views of the Lot Valley. Along the way, he visited Poitiers, Sancerre, Rocamadour, the Camargue, and more. They talk about how to mix slow travel with big moments.
