This road trip is like traveling in a time capsule back in time.

Air travel has changed the way we see the world, making our planet feel that much smaller.  Depending on departure and arrival destinations, you can go from coast to coast in mere hours or travel across seas in less than 10 hours.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms may put a damper on holiday plans from the Midwest to the South.

Whether you prefer a far-flung destination or an easy getaway, these paradises will make you want to book a flight now.
