Travelers are increasingly looking to incorporate wellness routines into their lives, even those who spend much of it in airports. Thankfully, as soon as one passes through TSA security, there are increasingly more opportunities to indulge, sweat, or simply recover—all before boarding the flight. While there are more massage tables, meditation rooms, and healthy food choices inside terminals, a handful of airport lounges are stepping up their efforts to promote health for their business- and first-class passengers. "People want to incorporate well-being into all aspects of their lives, particularly parts that can cause strain, like travel," Monty Sharma, president and CEO of Therabody told Robb Report. Sharma's company recently partnered with United to offer a range of wellness amenities for business-class passengers, including dedicated "Reset Suites" within the airline's Polaris Lounges across the U.S. "Travel takes a toll on the body and the mind.

A popular South Carolina tourist spot made a big impression on a national list — and another destination didn't land far behind. Charleston ranks No. 1 and Greenville is No. 4 after a travel magazine's readers voted on their favorite smaller cities across the country, according to results published Tuesday, Oct. 3.

"To do America for beginners, Nigel, you need to get on the road," said Jim as he steered along. "Your stress disappears into thin air and your energy goes up when you hit those blue highways early." "A walk in the woods is satisfactory," said Nigel over the car's roaring engine that he quietly worried was overheating. "Or I tell my horse to canter when I'm feeling decidedly ebullient." Jim rolled his eyes at his visitor from the Bristol office. "But you get to see the lost world from a vintage automobile." "The cruise of the rolling junk here has already been quite the odyssey since we left Newark," said Nigel. "But I suppose this jaunt gives me a week to be wicked and purposely ignore my office correspondence." "You are a wild man, Nige." ...
