Travel articles If You Had Only 10 Days For a Trip to Asia, Where Would You Go? A reader asks: "For the young adventurous couple with no constraints except time, what is the best Asia itinerary? We are trying to plan a trip in May, but we have only 10 days for it . . . I lived in Hong Kong in 2002 and my husband has never been, so we definitely want to start our trip there." I've got two possible solutions. The first comes from my Conde Nast Traveler partner in crime Hanya Yanagihara, who hops around Asia all the time and wrote the magazine's Southeast Asia Iconic Itinerary.
Monte Carlo Affordable elegance with family-friendly amenities. Styled after Monaco's Place du Casino, this more affordable (and less luxurious) version of the Bellagio surrounds guests with quiet elegance and beautiful surroundings. The southern Strip location is very convenient, and a monorail to the Bellagio cuts down on walking time.

Who Wants a Pleistocene-Era Backyard? While casting about for feel-good stories, we remembered the lost and starving Magellanic penguins that were airlifted to safety by the Brazilian army last fall. The young penguins, whose home is in the southern Atlantic, had wandered too far north, washing up on the warm beaches of Brazil by the hundreds, and the situation looked grim when "animal-welfare activists loaded the birds onto a Brazilian air force cargo plane and flew them 1,550 miles to the country's southern coast, where a crowd of onlookers celebrated as the penguins marched back into the sea." Definite feel-good material.
