It comes with a 25-piece gear kit. [Tripsavvy Travel Today]( [Elizabeth Preske]( Associate Editor Growing up in the Catholic church, there was never a time in my conscious existence when I hadn’t known about [Jerusalem](. At the age of 4 or 5, in my developing brain, it was a long-forgotten civilization that existed only in the Bible and, in my Midwestern-shaped imagination, was very flat. As I got older and learned that, yes, I could actually visit Jerusalem and Galilee and all these other places that were, in some ways, my first encounter with the knowledge of different countries and cultures, I knew a pilgrimage would one day be on the books. Two weeks ago, I finally took that [trip to Israel]( where I spent seven days hopping from Tel Aviv to Galilee and, finally, to Jerusalem. It’s a surreal experience when you finally see a bucket list destination. Sailing across the Sea of Galilee at sunset, wandering the streets of the Old City, looking out across the city of Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives—it was, in a word, emotional, with the weight of history and knowledge and personal experience all pressing in on me. Whether you’re religious or not, though, there’s something to be said about visiting a place with olive trees that are more than 900 years old, walls that are 500 years old, and the hustle and bustle of a living and breathing city that feels as old as time itself. Seeing historical sites that mean so much to so many different people and seeing the looks of wonder and reverence on thousands of faces—no matter their religious affiliation—is a beautiful thing.

Destination of the Day Albuquerque, New Mexico [Albuquerque]( boasts a thriving arts, culture, and culinary scene that makes it a standout Southwestern city. The Duke City’s founding neighborhood in Old Town consists of 18th-century adobe buildings, which contrasts with its downtown skyscrapers that nod to its status as New Mexico’s largest city. Art galleries, flamenco tablaos, and places to see Native American dances dot the city. [Restaurants]( for chowing down on red chile-smothered breakfast burritos or craft beer—both [staples in Albuquerque]( around every corner. The Sandia Mountains and dormant volcanic mesas bookend the city, while the Rio Grande ribbons through the center like a spine. It’s an idyllic setting for the outdoorsy set, who’ll find [plenty of terrain for hiking]( biking, and paddling. Whether you have [two days in the city]( or you're looking to include Albuquerque in a larger Southwest itinerary, you'll find interesting [attractions to enjoy year-round](. Vacation Like a Pro If you’re headed to the city for its most popular event, the [Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta]( plan to make your travel plans six months in advance. Hotels sell out during this period. Expect to pay premium rates for accommodations during that event, too. [Ashley M. Biggers]( Contributing Writer Your Packing List For summer travel, bring shorts, T-shirts, [sandals]( and a [reusable water bottle]( for the desert heat. Have [an umbrella]( or [waterproof jacket]( available in July and August to fend off thunderstorms. Sunny days mean [polorized sunglasses]( are a good idea in every season, especially if you'll be spending a good chunk of your trip outside. [Ray-Ban’s Hexagonal Flat Lenses]( caught our eye for delivering the sunglass icon’s legendary quality in a cool, super-stylish hexagonal frame. If you're planning your trip around the Albuqerque International Balloon Fiesta, layering is always a good way to go. October mornings will dip into the 40s, but by 10 a.m. the temperatures may have risen into the 60s. [Jackets]( [hats]( and gloves will suit the morning temps, but by the time you’re leaving the park, you’ll be peeling off those warm layers.
