Attention people of the northern hinterlands! You no longer have to schlep all the way to DFW International Airport or Love Field to get the hell out of Texas. Beginning November 11, the first flights on Avelo Airlines begin departing McKinney National Airport (TKI) with nonstop service to Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Tampa and Las Vegas. Then, on December 16, Atlanta […]
It’s not too late to get the F out of the USA to escape the nonstop midterm election coverage headed our way. Not to mention the days or weeks of fallout afterward. So, we say, vote early this week, then pack your bags. Each Tuesday, we bring you travel ideas based on our own vacation experiences, plus ways to seek […]
The rainy season in Puerto Vallarta will be over any day now. And you know what that means! Time to book your holiday, spring or Vallarta Pride vacations. We try to visit PV at least twice a year, which we did in 2026. Sometimes we get offered a place to stay to cover a new property, and other times we do our […]
If you’re like us, you’ve already made most of your travel plans for the rest of 2026. Flights booked. Hotel rooms secured. Bucket-list excursions added to the calendar. So, naturally, it’s time to start planning and booking your 2027 vacations. And if you can swing it, let’s make these adventures as grand as they can possibly be. And also the […]
Several years ago, we adopted a no-checked-bags philosophy for every plane trip possible. Not only does that give us immense flexibility for same-day flight changes, it also saves a ton of time. We no longer need to wait for bags at the carousel upon landing, which can add at least 30 minutes to a travel day. And most importantly, we […]
We’ve only lived through one full day of fall at this point, and it’s still a furnace outside. So, a vacation in the usually hot climate of Palm Springs, California may not be top of mind. But what if we enticed you with some early November dates? That’s a time in Palm Springs when it rarely gets above 80 degrees […]
Please bow your head, light a candle and get on your knees. Although that may sound like the formula for a sexy night of fun, instead we’re encouraging a moment of quiet reflection. Hell, you can even say one of those prayer things if you’re so inclined. All would be appropriate to commemorate the final VACAYA voyage of one Sister […]
It was barely yesterday that our livers finally dried out after going to the 15th annual Gay Wine Weekend this past July. So, by the time GrapeFest rolls around in two weeks, we’ll be ready to suck down some Sauvi B., pound some Pinot and chug-a-lug some Cabernet. Now celebrating the festival’s 40th year, Grapevine welcomes wine lovers from all […]
It was only a matter of time—and color us excited. Every color of the rainbow excited. This September, head to Austin for a brand-new festival of music, drag, film and art: The Big Queer Weekend. The four-day celebration has its official coming-out party on Thursday, September 24. The multi-venue event comes from some heavy hitters in the entertainment industry and […]
Doing nothing for Halloween scares the Baby Bejesus out of most gays. Luckily, we have trick-or-treat bagloads of options. Besides our own Dallas Halloween Block Party in the gayborhood (which takes place a week before Halloween) and the VACAYA Halloween takeover we just told you about last Travel Tuesday. Today, we present another option if you want to get out […]
