Northern Lights Tonight: When To See Aurora Borealis

Northern Lights Tonight: When To See Aurora Borealis

The aurora borealis appeared over the Columbia River Gorge from Chanticleer Point Lookout during early morning hours on May 11, 2024 in Latourell, Oregon.

Aurora borealis could appear across USA overnight on Monday August 18 and Tuesday August 19 following geomagnetic storm prediction from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Space Weather Prediction Center. With moon rising early this week night skies remain dark enough for auroral activity visibility on northern horizon from 10 USA states.

Mid to late August marks start of aurora borealis season in Northern Hemisphere.

Northern Lights Tonight: When To See Aurora

NOAA three day forecast shows minor geomagnetic storm rated G1 on scale from G1 to G5. Per NOAA prediction Kp index offering rough guide to aurora display intensity might hit 5.

NOAA newest aurora viewline suggests aurora displays possible in northern USA states and Canada with 16 USA states having opportunity from about 10:00 p.m. EDT on Monday August 18 until around 4:00 a.m. EDT on Tuesday August 19.

Late on August 18 active conditions followed by G1 minor geomagnetic storm levels on August 19 are probable due to influence onset from recurrent negative polarity coronal hole high speed streams states NOAA update. Coronal hole high speed streams allow solar wind easier escape from sun moving rapidly.

Northern Lights Tonight: Where To See Aurora

Portions of USA states potentially viewing aurora if forecasts accurate include

  • Alaska
  • Washington
  • Idaho
  • Montana
  • Wyoming
  • North Dakota
  • South Dakota
  • Minnesota
  • Wisconsin
  • Iowa
  • northern Illinois
  • Michigan
  • New York
  • Vermont
  • New Hampshire
  • Maine

Review NOAA 30 minute forecast or Glendale App for latest updates.

This solar activity rise comes as night skies darken earlier and longer at mid northern latitudes in Northern Hemisphere. Even aurora borealis possibility in USA stems from current solar maximum peak of 11 year cycle where sun magnetic activity rises and falls.

Likely peaking late 2024 sun now appears waning yet unconfirmed possibly double peak with finest aurora displays often post solar maximum. Aurora likely visible in USA for several more years.

Wishing you clear skies and wide eyes.

It ensures security during crises, such as social unrest or pandemics, and allows you to reside in a country you love without tourist visa limits. Montenegro’s investor-friendly program makes this dream accessible.

Aerial View of La Costa Resort & Spa

Aerial View of La Costa Resort & Spa

Some destinations carry their history like a heavy velvet curtain—rich with nostalgia, yet sometimes stifling. Not Omni La Costa Resort & Spa. Nestled along the rolling foothills of Carlsbad, California, this Southern California icon has masterfully reinvented itself, blending modern trends in golf architecture and leisure with a light, contemporary touch.

The timeless elegance of this legendary property—once a martini-soaked retreat for Sinatra and his Rat Pack—remains vibrant. On my first visit in the early 80s, I spotted MCA mogul Lew Wasserman striding with authority. With colorful characters, from union leaders to enigmatic figures, La Costa’s walls could tell stories worthy of a bestseller (and perhaps a witness protection program).

Rumors of Teamsters’ pension fund origins have faded into history. Since KSL Resorts’ ownership from 2001 to 2007, a $12 million spa upgrade and a 28,000 square-foot Spanish Colonial spa building transformed the resort. Omni Hotels and Resorts took over in 2013, investing $70 million over three years to revamp the entire property, including its two iconic 18-hole golf courses.

The Reimagined North Course

At the heart of La Costa’s transformation is the North Course, reimagined by golf architect Gil Hanse, known for revitalizing courses like Doral and Winged Foot. The result is breathtaking—and challenging. Stretching to 7,500 yards, this course demands strategic tee selection. Its lean, championship-caliber design replaces the overgrown layouts of the past with sculpted bunkers, clear sightlines, and a bold SoCal spirit.

This isn’t just a course for pros—it’s the permanent home of the NCAA Division I Men’s and Women’s Golf Championships through 2028. Watching young talents tackle Hanse’s native-grassed hazards from a shaded cart, cocktail in hand, is a must-do experience.

Luxury Beyond the Fairways

Golf innovations shine, but La Costa excels in leisure, accommodations, and dining. Spacious, sunlit rooms in creams and ocean blues invite relaxation, with balconies perfect for a glass of pinot under the stars. The family pools buzz with energy, while the adults-only pool offers tranquility and crafted palomas.

The spa, one of California’s largest, is a haven of eucalyptus steam and reflexology. Couples can indulge in side-by-side massages with champagne and strawberries in VIP suites. The courtyard features a tranquil pool, Jacuzzi, waterfall shower, reflexology path, and herb garden—ideal for post-golf relaxation.

Culinary Excellence

La Costa’s dining has evolved, leaving generic resort fare behind. VUE, the all-day restaurant, embraces hyper-local flavors with a decadent wagyu burger and truffle aioli, paired with affordable Central Coast wines. For a splurge, Bob’s Steak & Chop House, steps from the lobby, delivers prime Kansas City Strip steaks, U8 scallops with citrus beurre blanc, and iconic onion rings in an elegant, mahogany-clad setting.

Golf Lessons with a Pro

Guests can hone their skills at the driving range or short game greens. A lesson with head pro Ryan Dohrmann, whose expertise and warm demeanor make learning enjoyable, is transformative. His guidance feels like a friendly chat, not a chore, leaving you eager to tackle the course.

Sweden’s Kiruna Church

Sweden’s Kiruna Church Is On The Move After More Than 100 Years
Kiruna Church Relocation: A Historic Journey with TRAVEL ADVANTAGE

Kiruna Church Relocation: A Historic Journey with TRAVEL ADVANTAGE

The iconic Kiruna Church, a 672.4-ton wooden masterpiece in Arctic Sweden, is embarking on an extraordinary journey. This week, the church is being relocated nearly two miles to a new site to protect it from subsidence caused by LKAB’s vast iron ore mine. This move is a highlight of Kiruna’s ongoing city relocation project, blending engineering prowess with cultural significance.

A Monumental Move

Over two days, the 130-foot-wide, 115-foot-tall Kiruna Church is being transported on a hydraulic modular transporter along a carefully designed three-mile route. This relocation, starting August 19 at 8 AM local time, is a spectacle drawing global attention, livestreamed by LKAB and Swedish media like Aftonbladet.

Unlike other heritage buildings dismantled and rebuilt, the church moves intact, showcasing advanced engineering by Veidekke. Roads have been widened, viaducts removed, and infrastructure rerouted to ensure a smooth journey to its new home near the cemetery and emerging city center.

An Icon of Kiruna

Completed in 1912, Kiruna Church is one of Sweden’s most stunning pre-1950 structures and among the largest wooden buildings in the country. Designed by Gustaf Wickman, it blends Scandinavian Romanticism with Sami cultural influences and Norwegian stave church elements. Its red-painted wooden walls and ornate interior make it a beloved landmark and a top tourist attraction.

Notably, the church minimizes Christian symbols to welcome all visitors, a vision of inclusivity championed by Kiruna’s founder, Hjalmar Lundbohm. His grave will also be relocated to rest beside the church at its new site.

Why Kiruna Moves

Founded in 1890, Kiruna thrived due to its iron ore deposits and Arctic wind protection. However, the expansion of LKAB’s underground mine, the world’s largest, has caused ground subsidence, necessitating the relocation of homes, businesses, and landmarks like the church. This project redefines Kiruna while preserving its cultural heritage.

The Sami communities, whose reindeer herding routes are impacted by mining and urban growth, have raised concerns about regional development. Yet, the church’s move is seen as a “rebirth,” symbolizing resilience and adaptation.

A Cultural and Tourist Event

The relocation is more than an engineering feat; it’s a cultural celebration. Thousands of locals and tourists gather to watch the church’s slow journey, accompanied by concerts and community events. Once settled, the church will be restored and oriented to face the community, honoring Arctic Sweden’s folk church traditions.

Visitors exploring the northern lights, Kiruna’s famous ice hotels, or Arctic wilderness can witness this historic moment. Plan your trip with TRAVEL ADVANTAGE for seamless bookings and exclusive offers. Don’t miss our $100 guest coupon via MWR for incredible savings!

AI Dinners And Wellness Mornings-How The Surf Lodge Reinvents Itself

AI Dinners And Wellness Mornings: How The Surf Lodge Reinvents Itself AI Dinners And Wellness Mornings: How The Surf Lodge Reinvents Itself
Night Life at The Surf Lodge: Wellness, AI, and Fitness in Montauk | TRAVEL ADVANTAGE & MWR Deals

Night Life at The Surf Lodge: A Fusion of Wellness, AI, and Fitness in Montauk

At The Surf Lodge in Montauk, summer days come alive with DJs spinning tracks through beachside speakers and crowds dancing under the sun — but it’s not just a Saturday night party. Picture a vibrant Sunday morning where guests sip nutrient-packed smoothies instead of cocktails, some indulging in IV drips or Vitamin B12 shots, while others unwind in cabanas on mats offering Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy. “We’re redefining nightlife with wellness clubs as the new hotspot,” says Rave Reid of Alchemize House, which hosted one such event. “Feeling great doesn’t need to be dull — it can be lively and fun.”

The Surf Lodge: Staying Ahead of the Curve

Traditional late-night revelry with music and drinks isn’t fading, but as The Surf Lodge wraps its 18th season, owner Jayma Cardoso stresses the need for innovation beyond adding mocktails. “Keeping the brand fresh means thinking creatively,” Cardoso explains. “Tourism in Vegas has dropped 20%, and alcohol consumption is down. Yet, people still want memorable outings. Our collaborations with diverse communities — from wellness to tech — keep our vibe thriving, creating magic by blending different worlds.”

AI-Powered Connections at The Surf Lodge

Collaborations extend far beyond wellness. Jonah Goodhart, Co-Founder and CEO of Mobian, harnesses AI to deliver real-time digital ad placements, connecting brands with untapped opportunities. His ‘Trader’s Club’ at The Surf Lodge hosts exclusive dinners to spark connections and summer fun. “Tech professionals crave human experiences,” Goodhart says. “Jayma has crafted a unique blend of music, cuisine, and art that reflects culture. Pairing tech visionaries with innovative hospitality helps us understand cultural shifts, and the response has been phenomenal.”

High-Energy Fitness Meets Night Life

Brian Mazza of HPLT Training recently led an intense workout: a sprint to a nearby stop sign and back, followed by burpees and squats, repeated for 30 minutes — a far cry from typical resort classes meant to offset a night of indulgence. Mazza sees partying and fitness as intertwined. “Guests chase different highs — socializing, DJ sets, bottle service — but they also recognize self-care is key to thriving,” he says. “Jayma’s vision to blend late-night energy with wellness is brilliant and resonates with this mindset.”

Choosing established collaborators like Mazza, who sold his fitness brand to Life Time, is a natural fit. However, Cardoso’s openness to new talent shines through with Alchemize House. “Jayma gave us a shot at The Snow Lodge in Aspen, hosting a dinner and yoga session in a giant igloo, followed by a party with Sofi Tucker,” Reid recalls. “While alcohol sales drive many events, we proved morning wellness sessions can draw crowds and revenue, balancing night and day experiences.”

Building Human Bonds Beyond Transactions

For Goodhart, ‘The Trader’s Club’ dinners may lead to business, but the real value lies in human connections. “It’s not about deals closed at dinner,” he explains. “It’s about conversations that spark life-changing ideas, sometimes realized years later. We’re curating elevated environments for meaningful interactions.”

These partnerships keep The Surf Lodge vibrant while expanding its audience. “I didn’t even know AI ad brokers existed,” Cardoso admits. “It’s fascinating! Integrating that with our lively atmosphere creates something special. We’ve welcomed diverse guests — from Obama daughters to Trump daughters — maintaining a space where all can connect.”

Bleisure Travel Revolution: Blending Work and Leisure Seamlessly

The rise of flexible work has ignited a global surge in bleisure travel, where business and leisure intertwine effortlessly. Over the past year, interest in this trend has soared by more than 25%, with projections indicating even stronger growth in the coming years.

As hybrid and remote work models become standard, hospitality providers are redefining accommodations to cater to both professionals and families. Hotels and rentals now feature apartment-style suites designed for extended stays, complete with high-speed Wi-Fi, ergonomic workspaces, and home-like amenities. These options span diverse price points, ensuring accessibility for solo travelers, families, and groups across CIS, Asia, and Europe.

Key Bleisure Travel Insights from TravelPerk

TravelPerk, a global leader in business travel management, provides compelling data on the bleisure boom:

From onefinestay’s luxury homes to budget-friendly a&o hostels, there’s an option for every traveler seeking work-life balance.

Ashlee Collins, President of onefinestay, explains, “Today’s business travel is about immersion and flexibility. Bleisure travelers stay longer, often with family, and want to feel connected to their destination. Our premium homes provide space for work and relaxation, with concierge services that handle everything from stocking fridges to securing exclusive dining reservations.”

Destinations like San Francisco are ideal for bleisure travelers. Anna Marie Presutti, President & CEO of San Francisco Travel Association, notes, “Extending a work trip in San Francisco is effortless. After a meeting at Moscone Center, you’re just minutes away from a Pacific sunset, world-class dining, or cultural landmarks like Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge. It’s a city that sparks creativity and connection.”

San Francisco’s vibrant neighborhoods, filled with art, music, and festivals, make it a bleisure hotspot. Hotels and destinations that streamline extended stays are leading the charge in this growing market.

Oliver Winter, CEO of a&o Hostels, adds, “Bleisure travel reflects a broader shift in work and lifestyle. Our hostels offer communal lounges, reservable conference rooms, and affordable, centrally located accommodations across major European cities. Guests can stay productive during the day and explore vibrant destinations after hours.”

The hospitality industry is evolving to meet bleisure demands. Kimpton Seafire blends professional spaces with personalized local experiences, allowing guests to create lasting memories. Hotel Indigo inspires creativity with relaxed, artistic environments and insider recommendations for exploring like a local. JOIA Aruba by Iberostar provides seamless connectivity, quiet workspaces, and flexible venues to balance work and leisure effortlessly.

The post-COVID era has transformed work culture, with remote tools like Google Meet and Microsoft Teams normalizing flexible schedules. Hotels like Salterra are redesigning spaces with abundant outlets, natural light, and ergonomic furniture to support hybrid work. W Punta Cana, an all-inclusive luxury resort, offers versatile spaces for solo travelers and groups, blending business facilities with opportunities to recharge in a serene environment.

Why Bleisure Travel is Here to Stay

Bleisure travel thrives because it aligns with modern values: maximizing time, enriching experiences, and prioritizing well-being. With company-covered flights, travelers can extend stays to explore destinations without added travel costs. This trend benefits hotels too, as longer stays increase revenue without the need for new guest acquisition.

Hotels are adapting with flexible booking policies, such as discounted rates for early arrivals or extended stays, and value-added perks like local tours, spa credits, or dining experiences. These offerings make the leisure component a natural extension of the business trip, creating a win-win for travelers and properties.

Professionals embracing bleisure travel are redefining work-life integration. Remote and hybrid workers now check emails from laptops while enjoying stunning views, indulgent breakfasts, or curated cultural experiences. Each trip becomes a blend of productivity and pleasure, transforming routine travel into opportunities for connection, rejuvenation, and discovery.

Boutique Hotel Group-Top-Ranked Resort In Tulum

This Boutique Hotel Group Has The Top-Ranked Resort In Tulum

Lula Seaside Boutique Hotel: Tulum’s Premier Luxury Retreat

Ranked #1 among 243 properties on Tripadvisor, Lula Seaside Boutique Hotel, part of Colibri Boutique Hotels, redefines luxury with authentic Tulum experiences, serene wellness retreats, and tailored family vacations.

Over shared lunches, Cohen forged a strong bond with the owner. Six months ago, he was invited to Tulum to assess the properties while running his sports and travel marketing business.

Cohen observed that the hotels initially thrived with minimal marketing, but rising competition in Tulum’s luxury resort scene posed challenges for these Tulum beachfront hotels.

As a consultant, he praised the operational excellence and stunning aesthetics of the Tulum boutique accommodations, affirming their solid foundation.

He identified gaps in outreach to travel advisors leading the luxury market and limited partnerships with destination management companies for unique local adventures. Website upgrades were prioritized over property changes. La Zebra, with 30 rooms and suites, is Colibri’s largest in Tulum.

When the CEO left two months ago, the owner asked Cohen to lead. “Joining a new hotel group would’ve been daunting, but I knew the properties, staff, and systems,” Cohen says, likening it to coaching a familiar team.

His major overhaul focused on back-office operations, modernizing revenue management for dynamic pricing, availability, and travel-agent-friendly bookings in Tulum wellness retreats. “You can’t complicate business dealings,” he stresses.

With Tulum’s growing fame, Cohen clarifies what Colibri’s four properties avoid. “Tulum’s party reputation isn’t us,” he says. Instead, they offer refined dining, wellness, fitness, Tulum family vacations, and soft adventures like exploring Mayan ruins and cenotes. “Enjoy great beaches, restaurants, and optional nightlife elsewhere.”

Two hotels are side by side in the resort zone, while four kilometers away, two others adjoin in the national park, all beachfront, enhancing Tulum cenotes explorations.

La Zebra, the largest, earns 4.8/5 on TripAdvisor and 9.4/10 on Hotels.com, with staff, service, cleanliness, and facilities scoring 9.6.

Without loud nightlife, Cohen says the diverse accommodations suit varied budgets, earning loyal guests in Tulum dining experiences.

Lula, next to La Zebra, secures a perfect 5.0 on Tripadvisor, topping Tulum’s 243 listings.

Mezzanine and Mi Amor, in the national park, are adults-only, attracting couples with top ratings in Tulum romantic getaways.

Amid rising hotel costs, Cohen’s Small Luxury Hotels-affiliated properties offer value, with offseason rates from $300 and suites up to $1,500, accessible via Tulum airport.

Tulum’s Felipe Carrillo Puerto International Airport grows with direct US flights, though many prefer Cancun, 75 miles north, for more options.

At Virtuoso Travel Week in Las Vegas, advisors confirmed rising demand for authentic boutique experiences at fair prices for European Tulum holidays, boutique hotels CIS, and luxury travel Asia.

Future growth remains local and measured, per Cohen.
