Top 25 destinations for 2024, according to Afar travel guides

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:48:52 GMT

Afar, the travel media guide and magazine, has just released its annual “where to go” list for 2024 travelers. It’s a globe-circling mix of 25 destinations that ranges from Fiji to Texas, Toronto and more, all chosen with an eye to thoughtful, sustainable travel.So while you’ll see Peru’s famous Machu Picchu on the list, editors suggest getting there via the lesser-known Quarry Trail — complete with spectacular views and waterfalls — rather than the tourist-clogged Inca Trail. Buzzy, busy Los Angeles makes the list with a shout out to the February opening of Destination Crenshaw, a 4-acre, open-air museum that showcases the work of Black artists, the largest such installation in the country. And while everyone knows all about Prague, Afar’s editors suggest Czech Republic visitors head for Brno, which was designated one of UNESCO’s Cities of Music.Each destination, Afar’s editorial team said, “is an awe-inspiring, joy-...

Appeals court allows California law to go into effect, restricting concealed carry in public places

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:48:52 GMT

By Andy Rose | CNNA US appeals court Saturday paved the way for a California law banning the concealed carry of firearms in “sensitive places” to go into effect January 1, despite a federal judge’s ruling that it is “repugnant to the Second Amendment.”The law – Senate Bill 2 – had been blocked last week by an injunction from District Judge Cormac Carney, but a three-judge panel filed an order Saturday temporarily blocking that injunction, clearing the path for the law to take effect.The court issued an administrative stay, meaning the appeals judges did not consider the merits of the case, but delayed the judge’s order to give the court more time to consider the arguments of both sides. “In granting an administrative stay, we do not intend to constrain the merits panel’s consideration of the merits of these appeals in any way,” the judges wrote.The law, among a series of gun control measures signed by California Gov. Gavin Newsom in September, applies to those with licenses to carry...
