She's the last one to leave the party, and the only one who doesn't seem at all hungover the next morning. Alix Earle, Kendall Jenner, and Doja Cat are all tequila girls - and who wouldn't want to embody them on a night out?

Vail Village is where it all started... The original vision of creating a ski village, similar to what our founders envisioned from their experiences in Europe-particularly while serving as 10th Mountain soldiers-formed the foundation of a car-free, walkable street base village.

Whatever you seek from an island getaway, you're sure to find it here.

I had only just stepped aboard the Riverside Ravel in Avignon, France, and it was already clear this would be no ordinary cruise.
