11 Top Affordable All-Inclusive Resorts to Visit in 2023

All-inclusive resorts promise a simplified vacation: One upfront fee covers food, drinks and select activities, so you can focus on relaxing with a cocktail in hand instead of worrying about your spending. However, not every all-inclusive accommodation option offers the same budget-conscious bang for your buck; some can end up costing much more than you may be hoping to pay thanks to extra fees for amenities like kids clubs or meals at specialty restaurants.These U.S. News picks for affordable resorts are properties where two guests can stay for around $250 or less per night in one room. These prices may not be available year-round: You may need to settle for off-peak travel periods, or reserve well in advance for peak periods (usually December to April for sun destinations).

The Nest Is Never Truly Empty

Now that our daughter and son are grown and living elsewhere, my wife and I are often asked what it’s like to be empty nesters. Even though our children have moved away, the nest doesn’t feel empty to me. When they left, a good bit of their stuff stayed behind.Our daughter has been married a year now, but her old bedroom remains intact, a shrine to adolescent life in a previous decade.

Is It Ever Morally Acceptable to Visit a Confederate Historical Site?

I recently moved back home to Biloxi, Miss., and I’m wondering about visiting the lavish grounds of Beauvoir, the historical site and home of Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederate States of America.I abhor everything the Confederacy stood for and was proud when Mississippi changed our state flag a few years ago to remove the Confederate emblem. I also enjoy history and historical sites, however, and Beauvoir is the biggest one in the area by far. My problem is that the site charges an admission fee. The property is owned by the Mississippi division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, and while I presume some of the money would go to the upkeep of this historical site, I don’t know what they do with the rest of their money. (Their website mentions events to commemorate “Confed...
