Travel articles 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.

Aurora Ice Hotel Unique hotel made entirely of ice sixty miles northeast of Fairbanks, Alaska. 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.
