January 2019 marks the first transatlantic print issue of Condé Nast Traveler—and what better issue to launch with than an exhaustive list of our New York and London editors' favorite hotels, resorts, and cruise ships?

For the most part, travel goes smoothly. But when it doesn't, it seems like it really doesn't: The river cruise you've been waiting the whole year to take is skipping a port you're excited about due to low water levels. Or your flight is delayed. And delayed. Delayed, delayed, delayed again, until eventually, it's canceled. Say you finally get on a flight, then, only to arrive at your destination and find that your hotel room has been given to someone else, since you didn't check in when you said you would. But what do you actually do in any or all of these situations, and better yet, what rights do you have? On this latest episode of the Travelogue podcast, we set out to answer these questions.

All year long, Condé Nast Traveler editors meet with hotel owners and cruise operators, tourism boards and globe trotters, to pick their brains; we rack up air miles checking out new openings and revisiting places we haven't seen in 20 years. We talk to our peers in the U.K. at Condé Nast Traveller (two Ls, folks) about where they're heading next year. And we take all that intel and wrangle it this annual list of the best places to go next year—19 in 2019, lest you get bored.

For many of us, road trips across the U.S. were our first introduction to travel—for others who grew up abroad, the road trip was the pinnacle of American-ness. In this episode, our editors tackle the do's, don'ts, and *oh hell no's* of the road trip. And, as usual with *Traveler* editors, there is no grey area. Only the most navigation-savvy person gets to sit in the passenger seat. That's right, shotgun does not apply. The shortest person gets the middle seat (#sorrynotsorry). The driver gets the all-powerful veto on music, full stop. And wild card: Italy's Autogrill may one-up any American rest stop. Be prepared for lots of laughs, and plenty of yelling.

The first thing you need to know is that this is a part two of sorts, to an overtourism podcast episode we ran in 2017. You should probably that episode first. But in this week's episode, we check in on places in almost every stage of overtourism—from the brink of discovery (the Azores), to the one who's got it all figured out (Bhutan), to the city potentially past the point of no return (Venice). All while arguing over whether this overtourism problem facing islands, cities, and entire countries around the world will ever have a perfect solution. Learn more about your ad choices.
