Best Places to Travel

Planning new adventures as the new year approaches is always a thrill, but finding the best places to visit in 2022 is unique.

Others, like Las Vegas, are for those who are ready and raring to make up for all the social time they missed — with a few splashy headliners, including Adele and the Raiders, thrown in for good measure.
