Hello all—

Welcome to March, the month whose weather always seems to be one giant tease. Here in D.C. so much is already in bloom and the cherry blossoms are expected in just a couple weeks!

Some of you no doubt travel on the diva end of the spectrum, and most everyone would spend a little extra for a memorable experience. Spending a little extra, though, is putting it mildly for what the clients of Ricardo Araujo do. My colleague Emily Shugerman has profiled this travel agent for the 0.1% and the details are jaw-dropping.

I didn’t make it to Goa on my India trip nearly a decade ago, but I very much intend to someday. When I do, I’ll have Joanna Lobo’s fantastic Eat Sheet to guide me while I’m there. Everything sounds so delicious while reading through it that I had to resist the urge to open my calendar and find a couple free weeks.

Nearly a year ago I was standing in the unrelenting Egyptian sun, standing in line outside tombs in the Valley of the Kings. Unbeknownst to me at the time, there is a tomb right next to that of King Tut that remains one of Egypt’s greatest mysteries. In an excerpt from Pharaohs of the Sun: The Rise and Fall of Tutankhamun's Dynasty, Guy de la Bédoyère dives into the theory that it may have been the resting place of one of the most important and controversial pharaohs, as well as his wife Nefertiti, one of history’s greatest beauties. Enjoy!

Pure Genius: A Cup Holder For Your Suitcase

There is truly nothing more annoying than having to chug your $17 latte before boarding in anticipation of having nowhere to set it down while stowing your carry-on and settling into your seat.

Fortunately, this detachable cup holder for suitcases is pure hands-free convenience, allowing you to easily transform your carry-on into a personal cup holder for your water bottle, a cup of coffee, or even a few rolled-up magazines that don’t fit in your personal item.
