Litibu takes off on Mexico’s Riviera Nayarit

Backed by Mexico's top resort builders – the folks who brought us spots like Cancun, Ixtapa and Los Cabos – the new getaway at Litibu (named after a tropical bird) is spreading its wings on the powdery beaches of the Riviera Nayarit.

Translating ‘tour talk’: What the brochure really means

Boomer alert! Some innocuous-sounding words in tour brochures should raise red flags, warns veteran travel journalist Bob Jenkins. For instance, terms like “take in the scenery,” “drive by” and “see” typically mean you won't actually be entering a place, and if the bus stops there, you might not be allowed to get off. Bob offers a bundle of tips for tour-goers whether they're from cruise ships or on land vacations

Berlin by bicycle

Frequent WatchBoom contributor Rich Grant serves up another helping of travel-by-bicycle, this month along the colorful bike paths of Berlin. He takes us on a tour of the city starting at the central Zoo Station on Kurfurstendamm and with stops at spots like the rebuilt Reichstag, the German History Museum and Unter den Linden (the Fifth Avenue of Berlin) before ending up at a biergarten in the Tiergarten.

Ojo Caliente makes the world go away

Dips in iron and soda spring pools...mud baths...mineral soaks...drinks from a lithium spring...even an arsenic bath (it's said to do wonders for the skin). All this awaits boomers in an uber-renovated hot springs resort in the cactus-strewn hills of northern New Mexico.

Special report from Tianguis 2012

Each year, thousands of people in the travel business flock to Mexico for an event called “Tianguis,” a word borrowed from the old-time Aztecs meaning marketplace. Ancient traders gathered to dicker over things like feathers, corn and chocolate; today, tianguistas haggle over hotel rooms, airline seats and things to see and do on the ground.

New on the Adriatic: Yoga yachts and cycling cruises

Now you can do your downward dogs, side cranes, lotuses and cobras in old-world villages along the Croatian coast. New week-long cruises on yachts and gullets combine island-hopping with three yoga sessions a day – they even provide your mat – in spots girdled by the walls of Greek, Roman, Byzantine and French forts. Sister cruises offer guided bike rides instead of yoga.
