While Iâm not normally the biggest conference person, itâs kind of lovely seeing everybody in real life and putting faces to names. Iâll be speaking on a panel tomorrow about the future of travel, so hopefully I donât put my foot in my mouth too many times. While itâs still a little bit brisk up here, our lead feature this week takes us to warmer climes. Andrew Kirell [has written about a new all-inclusive in Cancun]( for our [Room Key series on exciting new hotels](. He argues that if youâre an all-inclusive-type traveler who cares more about food than booze, then this is the spot for you. Malcolm Jones traveled Ireland for a few weeks recently and pampered himself for a few days at the countryâs legendary Ashford Castle, an experience [he shares with us]( in all its heavenly detail here. And, finally, for the booze-swilling history lover in many of you, Erin Zaleski [has written about the little known Paris bar]( where the likes of Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Sartre hung out, and where Capote and de Beauvoir got into a bit of a tiff! âWilliam OâConnor, Travel Editor [Image] [The Paris Bar Where Hemingway (and History) Blacked Out]( [Thereâs an echo of a Jazz Age-era speakeasy in the mahogany panels, vintage-style newspaper rack, and slightly weathered leather chairs.]( [The Cancun Resort for Those Whoâd Rather Eat Than Party]( [In a region full of boozy all-inclusives with proximity to endless debauchery, Garza Blanca stands out as a more culinary-focused resort.]( [Irelandâs Ashford Castle Wants You to Live Like Royalty]( [The castle itself is approaching its millennial birthday, but while its life as a hotel only goes back for most of a century, its skill with hospitality is absolutely timeless.]( [Turkeyâs Ancient Underground City Isnât What Everybody Says It Is]( [Archeologists in Turkey have discovered an almost 2000-year-old underground city that may have housed up to 70,000 people.]( [âDuring a pilot program that ran for about four months in the fall of 2020, the dogsâ sniff tests were compared to 303 COVID PCR taken from incoming travelers. All 296 swabs identified as negative by PCR tests were also identified negative by the dogs, meaning their accuracy edged close to 98 percent.â]( âMiriam Fauzia reports on the possibility of turning to dogs for an effective, and affordable method to combat COVID in airports](.
