Pluto Pod 
The relentless search for the perfect airplane neck pillow can seem like a lifelong quest, but the Pluto POD may finally prove the solution. Offering the 360-degree support of a neck brace combined with a pillowed hood for ultimate leaning anywhere and a built-in convertible eye mask, this powerhouse pillow was created with input from sleep researchers, flight attendants and frequent travelers. The result is a cool-touch plush collection of support and sleep-aiding features in one compact pillow, and you can use as many or as few as you need at a time, with the hood and eye mask easily tucking without detaching. The POD snaps down into compact travel mode and includes a small carabiner for easy hooking to your carry-on bag. $145.

Memorí Eyewear

Quality eyewear is a must for the constant traveler — and for everyone else, too. Memorí sun- glasses are handcrafted in Italy in small batches, with a maximum production of 100 pieces per style (many styles offer fewer), so you’ll likely never find another person wearing your pair. Lenses provide 100 percent UVA/UVB protection with antiglare coating, and each pair comes in a case handmade in León, Mexico’s renowned leather capital. Intricate metalwork around the frames and elegant touches like hand-pressed gold leaf embellishments are hallmarks of the detail-centric brand that guarantees your shades will never slip down your nose again. Pictured: $330.

Breathe in the View and Sip in the Moment in Puerto Vallarta

Mindful drinking with an eye on wellness can mean ordering a zero-proof or low ABV cocktail instead of one that’s boozy and stirred, or slowly savoring one glass of wine instead of tossing back two or three. But sometimes, where you’re sipping a beverage can have just as much of a positive effect on your mind, body and spirit as what’s in your glass.

Relais Villa Porta Review

Tucked into a Lake Maggiore enclave overlooking the Gulf of Colmegna, Relais Villa Porta is an idyllic place to take in a side of the Italian Lakes region that’s different from buzzy Lake Como during high season. In 1820, it was built as a hunting lodge, and by the end of the century, was transformed into an inn by Leopoldo Casnedi. Over time, the surrounding parkland was further enhanced with rare plants collected by Pietro Porta, its second owner and botanist, as well as regular guests wanting to support his efforts. This ensured the inn would ultimately sit pretty within a 10,000-square-meter park surrounding the main villa, a 19th-century Liberty-style greenhouse and original Villa Porta mosaic.
