1 ~~~ Fall Camping Gear Essentials: Insulated Sleeping Pads, Warming Chairs, and More ~~~ 50 Watch the leaves turn beside a cozy campfire.
All products featured on Condé Nast Traveler are independently selected by our editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, we may earn an affiliate commission. Summer’s end signals a back-to-school mentality and feels like a farewell to carefree days spent in the sun. But before you shift into hibernation mode, consider a fall camping trip. If you’re like many people during the pandemic, the appeal of outdoor adventure has been especially strong this past year and a half. And while camping is often associated with summer, it’s a sleeper autumn activity.
“There is so much I love about fall camping. The weather is generally cooler and the changing leaves make the scenery even more beautiful,” REI Co-op virtual outfitter Sarah Sattin says. “Campgrounds and wilderness areas are also less busy as people go back to work and school. Even better, bugs are usually less of a problem than in the summer.”
If golden leaves, fewer insects and crowds, and a crispness in the air sounds like a pleasant time to you, continue ahead for a run-down of must-pack fall camping gear (and for the basics, don’t miss our general overview of camping equipment). www.cntraveler.com/story/fall-camping-gear-essentials?13 September 2021 |

2 ~~~ What to Wear on a Long Flight: 13 Comfortable Brands We Love From cozy cashmere to semi-professional sweats.
My fashion pet peeve is how people dress at the airport. It’s terrible,” Carolina Herrera once said. She has a point. If we were to quantify it on a scale of one to 10, the level of chicness at which the average air passenger dresses would hover is around a three. We get it: When you’re about to embark on a 10-plus-hour intercontinental flight and your body is buzzing with anxiety at the thought of potential delays, missed connections, and lost luggage, piecing together a Herrera-approved outfit is probably the least of your concerns. Factor in the near-impossible feat of sleeping upright on a plane and tolerating snoring seat mates, and it feels necessary to prioritize comfort. The surefire way to do so is with finely woven knits that feel as soft as a cloud, compression fabrics that prevent swelling, and buttery cashmere travel blankets that you can cocoon yourself in. Below, find 13 brands whose clothes and accessories will make deciding what to wear on a long flight as easy and comfortable as possible. www.cntraveler.com/story/the-most-comfortable-brands-to-wear-on-a-long-haul-flight#15 September 2021 |

4 ~~~ These Multi-Purpose Travel Bags Will Help Condense Your Luggage Collection From garment bags that roll into duffels to a weekender with two detachable backpacks.
As we redefine how, why, and where we travel this year and beyond, the best travel bags are the ones serving two (or more) functions. With more people working from home and others taking their jobs on the road, longer trips—sometimes with multiple stops along the way—are increasingly common. These pandemic shifts to our travel routine have made hybrid bags more popular than ever. And lucky for travelers, the creativity in luggage design has soared to new heights—far loftier than tacking on a detachable laundry bag or phone charger to our suitcase.
From a soft-sided carry-on that hides an insulated lunchbox and two small detachable backpacks to award-winning rolling luggage that expands into an entire closet shelving system, plus a backpack that becomes a tent and a garment bag hidden inside an Italian leather duffel, these carry-alls will work overtime on your next several vacations. Below, seven of our favorite multi-purpose travel bags to consider adding to your luggage collection.

5 ~~~ Face Mask Chains, Anti-Fog Spray, and More Accessories We're Traveling With Now Make masking up more comfortable.
By now, most of us have found a favorite face mask, if not several. We’ve figured out which ones are ideal for exercise, which ones kids like, and which ones we can comfortably keep on throughout a flight. Some of us have even found face shields we enjoy as an extra layer of protection. And as many of us are finally returning to travel, we need to remain diligent about masking up.
“We should be expecting to be wearing masks during transport and in public places for the foreseeable future,” Dr. Leana Wen, an emergency physician and public health professor at George Washington University, said earlier this year. “That, though, is a very small price to pay to be able to get to our destinations, potentially see loved ones we’ve been separated from, and to resume business travel and leisure travel again.”
With that in mind, we’re still looking for ways to make wearing a mask, whether it’s on a long-haul flight or to a concert, feel like less of a chore and a touch more comfortable. Below, face mask chains, mask pouches, anti-fog spray, and more accessories to do just that. www.cntraveler.com/story/face-mask-accessories#29 September 2021 |

6 ~~~ The Best Hand Sanitizers to Stick Into Your Backpack, Purse, and Carry-On All of which meet CDC guidelines—and smell good.
In the last year and a half, as the pandemic made us all far more aware of how often we should be washing our hands, hand sanitizer has become a staple in every backpack, carry-on, and purse. Thankfully, after months of out-of-stock notifications, the options are plentiful: retailers largely caught up with demand and most have removed limits on how many can be purchased at once.
Below, we've rounded up 21 of the best hand sanitizers you can buy online right now, all of which adhere to the CDC's guidelines to use an alcohol-based hand rub with more than 60 percent ethanol or 70 percent isopropanol, in order to effectively kill germs and bacteria. We've included a range of sizes and scents, including sprays, gels, and kid-friendly options, that will work for different occasions: some you'll want to stash in your glove compartment, others you can clip onto your go-to plane backpack. And since frequent sanitizing can be harsh on our skin, many of these picks include ingredients meant to keep hands moisturized, like aloe vera and witch hazel.

8 ~~~ The Best Cooking Gear for Camping Trips Upgrade campsite dinners with these essentials.
After a long day out on the trails or burning some scenic miles in an RV, the last thing you want to do is arrive at your campsite with an empty stomach and no gear. Both for safety and the sake of your stomach, it’s essential to map out a camping cookware packing list ahead of time to use when hunger sets in. “One of the most important camping cook items is a minimal lightweight camp stove, which won’t weigh you down during the day when covering miles on the trail,” says Ted Mahon, adventure concierge at The Little Nell in Aspen, Colorado. “Be sure to check the local rules regarding campfire bans as drought conditions across parts of the country determine what kind of fires or stoves might or might not be allowed. In addition, consider having some water nearby in the event of an emergency.”
Since you’ll need more than just a stove to try out that campfire recipe, here are nine of the best camping cookware items to bring along on your next outdoor adventure.

9 ~~~ Inn-to-Inn Hiking Is Becoming More Popular in the U.S.—Here's Where to Try It The trips recreate the European style of multi-day-trekking, with luggage transport and comfortable inns each night.
Walking is one of the best ways to explore a new place—that slower pace and on-the-ground perspective can make it easy to appreciate new surroundings, taking note of sights, scents, sounds, and textures easily missed at a faster clip.
In Europe, many indulge in this style of travel with multi-day, long-distance walking holidays, as they are known, which involve all-day hiking, moving from one overnight inn to the next. Thanks to luggage transportation provided by tour operators and guiding services, bags are already at the inns when guests arrive each night, ready for a hot shower and comfy bed—all travelers have to carry on the trail are lightweight daypacks with water, snacks, and extra layers.
And now, these inn-to-inn hiking excursions have begun popping up in the U.S. Though there aren’t nearly as many options, the routes that do exist offer a chance to slow down, get outside, and explore the country's diverse terrain. Below are some of our favorite European-style inn-to-inn hiking routes in the U.S.

10 ~~~ The Ultimate Guide for Planning a Trip to Disneyland What to know about the new attractions, including the long-awaited Avengers Campus.
No trip to Southern California is complete without a visit to Disneyland Park. The only Disney park both designed and completed by Walt Disney himself, it changed the game for modern theme park design and remains near the top of the list of most popular parks globally, just after Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in Orlando. Not bad for a former Anaheim orange grove.
With just two parks and an array of hotels, most within walking distance, Disneyland is arguably easier to visit than its Florida counterpart and can be an ideal add-on to your Southern California vacation—or a destination unto itself. Whether you’re just popping in for the day or are planning an extended visit, here’s all the must-have info you need to plan your trip.
