L ast Last fall, my husband and I were looking forward to traveling to Italy—I had grand plans of traipsing through Rome, sipping limoncello in the Amalfi Coast, then heading to Sicily to explore the island where my in-laws are from. Of course, with the world under quarantine, we had to put those plans on hold before we even had a chance to purchase plane tickets. Finally, there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel (a huge shout out to our frontline workers!), and our special travel issue couldn’t have come at a better time. Let us serve as your guide for finding the perfect, I remember my first Art Basel; it was 2014 and I had scored tickets to one of the billowing white art tents in Midtown. Once I stepped inside, I was transported into a world of sculpture, paintings, photography, mixed media, murals and more. The tent also served as a sort of Tower of Babel as artists from around the world shared their inspirations behind each pi ce. A lot has changed since then, of course.

well-deserved vacation after an unprecedented year (page 33). Whether you’re yearning to conquer the icy crags of Iceland or watch the sunset from a Healdsburg winery, traveling with a gaggle of single friends or with your kids in tow, we have a getaway with your name on it. And if you’re not ready to hop on a plane just yet, there’s plenty of locales within driving distance. What many of us have also been looking forward to is heading back to the gym or visiting our favorite med spa. In our Wellness & Beauty guide (page 84), we’ve rounded up the best treatments and tips from local experts, from fitness to skincare and innovative procedures to holistic treatments. And don’t forget that June 20 is Father’s Day! We’ve created a special shop guide (page 102) filled with gift ideas to show your dad how important he is to you. I’ve already circled a few items myself. And hopefully, dear readers, in another issue or two, I’ll be able to share just how delicious the limoncello is in Sorrento. Wishing you a fabulous and luxurious summer, Wynwood. Plus, who could forget the duct-taped banana incident of 2019? But it’s what makes Miami so, well, Miami. You never know what’s g ing to appen when you wander th ough an a t walk, festiv l or swanky gal ry opening. For this issue, we celebrate the arts with our special feature on Art Basel & Beyond (page 39). From the satellite fairs around town to top museums around the world and up- nd-coming artists y u ca ’t miss, we’ve covered art in all its forms. The festivals also coincide with the busy holiday eason. We’ve curated a truly out-of-this-world S op gift guide (page 109) fo everyon from your par r and best frie to techies and ven your fur baby. I highly recommend you circle a few items for ours lf, too—it’s called self-care! Sp akin of self-care, as you look forward to 2022, use our Destin tions feature (pag 86) s a trav l guide to wellne s around the world. We also have great tips for finding calm in your life in our Trending Wellness piece (page 26). As 2021 comes t a c ose, I wish you all a safe, happy and healthy holiday season. Artfully yours,
