I’d like to extend a warm welcome to you on this glorious Tuesday. It’s officially fall, there’s a new episode of The White Lotus, and I’m officially getting back into bed until spring. Can someone bring me a Pop-Tart and an iPad? Maybe it’s time for me to hand over my electronics and enter the monastery, once and for all. I’m feeling overwhelmed, and I think they could use someone with my personality up there, so it’s a win-win. I don’t have a lot of skills, per se, or spiritual wisdom, but I do have a certain je ne sais quoi that could really bring a new energy. Let me know what you think. In today’s top stories, we have: our favorite under-the-radar islands in Central America, a recipe for grapefruit bars from Claire Saffitz, the scoop on legal cannabis in Canada, tips on how to watch the launch of NASA’s moon rocket, and some really epic Airbnbs in Scotland that will make you feel like you’ve time traveled. And with that, I’ll leave you to it. I have to go find a Pop-Tart. [-Ned Riseley, Senior Copywriter]( [ [( Travel [] [The Sleeper Hits of the Central American Islands]( If there’s one thing we especially love here at Thrillist, it’s finding the places you might overlook and showing you what incredible wonders await you there. Take this list of all the most incredible Central American islands that might not be top of mind when you think of a warm island vacation. From Bocas del Toro (no relation to the strong-browed actor Benicio del Toro) to Calala Island in Nicaragua, these islands have me daydreaming about decamping to the blue waters of Central America for the winter. [] [No man is an island]( [( [( FOOD & DRINK [] [Claire Saffitz’s Grapefruit Bars Do Not Disappoint]( Everyone seems to love the chef Claire Saffitz and her straightforward but specialized approach to food, specifically sweet stuff. In her new cookbook, What’s for Dessert, Saffitz makes desserts that feel particular and refined but also accessible and not too intimidating. Don’t just take my word for it; try her recipe for No-Bake Grapefruit Bars and experience the wonderful simple sophistication of a Saffitz recipe, then go pick up the book for yourself.

I mean, it’s become a very official and adult place to responsibly purchase cannabis in a completely ethical and mature way. We did all the research and got to the bottom of what exactly is going on with the cannabis industry up north. We looked at where you can buy weed, how much it costs, how much you can buy, how old you have to be, where you can smoke. We explored all the angles, so you can just get stoned and ride the wave. You’re welcome!

This article will tell you all about the Orion spacecraft, Artemis I, and how to tune in at home. All of the Artemis missions are part of an ongoing mission to build a long-term presence on the moon. This is a huge moment for people who have always wanted to vicariously build a long-term presence on the moon.

There’s a lighthouse cottage nestled above 300-foot cliffs, there’s a tiny house near Loch Ness, there’s a giant castle tower that looks like something out of Braveheart. Fasten your kilts, work on your brogue, and get ready to plan a trip (even if it’s just kind of hypothetical, for now) to Scotland!
