This past week the Global Traveler team traded in our desks for palm trees and headed south to sunny Miami for the 13th annual Leisure Lifestyle Awards. In the true spirit of leisure and luxury, the GT team spent the evening before the award ceremony soaking up the Miami sun and jet-setting across the city on the bluest of water.
Accompanied by a lively onboard captain and concierge, we sailed by recognizable celebrity homes and beautiful million-dollar luxury estates, oohing and aahing as we admired from afar.
Complimentary beer, wine and soda flowed throughout the night while a beautiful grazing table offered a feast for both our eyes and hungry stomachs. Calling my name was the mix of cheeses and meat on the thoughtfully curated charcuterie board and the assortment of chocolate desserts.
Enjoying the views and each other’s company, this was an experience our team will never forget. We even surprised our colleague Carrie with cake for her birthday! Celebrating with a Champagne toast and a little dance party, we felt right at home in Miami.

Jun 3, 2025Now’s the Time to See Giza, the Nile and Beyond
All archaeology-obsessed eyes turned hopefully toward Egypt earlier this year when the highly anticipated Grand Egyptian Museum outside Cairo finally began welcoming visitors after construction delays, funding roadblocks and political upheaval in the region (among other factors) conspired to keep things delayed for many long years. The museum’s cherry on the top is slated to open this summer, with the July opening of the museum’s 20-plus-years-in-the-making Tutankhamen galleries and accompanying cache of some 5,000 artifacts and treasures from the boy king’s tomb.
