- Feeling guilty about leaving your beloved pet behind while you embark on a vacation or business trip? NYTimes Travel has the rundown on airport-proximate pet-stay facilities.
- The Royal Wedding roar has died down, and the Olympic chaos is still a year away. Now might be the best time to visit London (if you'd like to avoid those crowds).
