Travelers Say This Weekender Is So Spacious, It's the Only Bag You Need to Take With You on 5-day Trips
Quince, an editor-loved brand for vacation clothes and reliable luggage, offers the Transit Quilted Duffel Bag, which is a favorite among hundreds of travelers. This weekender bag comes in black and navy blue, has multiple interior and exterior pockets to keep your belongings organized, and fits enough clothes to serve as the 'only bag for a five-day trip,' according to one shopper.
The weekender bag has a soft exterior that is flexible enough to accommodate clothes, shoes, and toiletries, and the material is waterproof, ensuring everything inside is protected regardless of travel-day conditions. There are shorter padded handles and an adjustable cross-body strap for multiple carrying options. One reviewer said the 'straps are exactly the right length' to put over their shoulder, and another person noted that they 'love the versatility' the two styles offer.
This bag also has 'tons of pockets,' which make it 'easy to organize' belongings while traveling, per another customer. There are four exterior pockets, with one on each side for holding a water bottle, phone, or any other items that require easy access. Inside, there are even more compartments, including a separate laptop sleeve and a detachable pouch for smaller items like AirPods, keys, and lip balm. Another person, who called the bag a 'stunning way to travel in style,' reported that there is a 'place for everything.'
Since all of your items are in such close proximity, the included dust bag helps keep shoes and dirty clothes separate during your trip. It also comes in handy when using the duffle bag outside of travel, including to the gym or work. While the bag has enough space for shorter trips, it also has a trolley sleeve so that it can slide over the handle of a carry-on suitcase when used as a personal item.
At $120, shoppers say the price is 'unbeatable' compared to options of similar quality. Snag this bag ahead of your next trip, and keep scrolling to shop more luggage from Quince.

University of Alaska dorms to host up to 750 Russian delegates in town for Trump-Putin summit
The University of Alaska Anchorage is expecting hundreds of Russian delegates who are in the city for the summit between President Trump and President Vladimir Putin to stay in student dorms. 'There may be up to 750 people staying on campus between the U.S. and Russian delegations,' vice chancellor Ryan Buchholdt said in an email to the Alaskan newspaper, Anchorage Daily News. The school can house around 12,000 people. This week marks the start of the school calendar for those returning from the summer break. The summit is going to be held at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, about a 10-minute drive from Anchorage, reports Alaska's News Source. The meeting will mark the first time Trump and Putin have met in person since 2018. 'In addition to the dorms, we do have the Alaska Airlines Center [a sports arena that has a 5,000-seat capacity] that has been set up with beds, meeting most of the need, mostly from the Russian delegation side,' Buchholdt also told Alaska's News Source. University police are working closely with state and federal law agencies to monitor security, Buchholdt added. 'Our main concern is making sure anyone who is staying on campus, whether they are from the United States or Russia or any other locality, is safe,' Buchholdt said, 'and is able to do the mission that they're here to do and go back home safely.' On Thursday, some of the delegates had already arrived as of Thursday afternoon, according to university spokesperson Katie Bender. Flight tracking data showed that at least one flight from Moscow had touched down in Anchorage that afternoon. 'The delegations are in separate locations. For security purposes, we are not able to share where the delegations are located,' Bender added. Alyeska resort, located about 40 miles south of Anchorage, informed local press that they were fully booked for the weekend, and the website of the local hotel, Captain Cook, was also fully booked. The hotel site showed one remaining room in a hostel, at a staggeringly raised price of $150 a night on Friday. Town mayor Suzanne LaFrance explained that finding accommodation at the height of the tourist season is hard enough as it is, let alone with a significant political event taking center stage. 'I know that people are looking at creative solutions. I don't have any specific details about that [housing delegations in UOA], but I know that the university is engaged in those conversations, and I'm optimistic that we'll come up with some options for folks,' she said to Alaska's News Source. At the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, news and camera crews were seen rolling in on Thursday morning. Locals watched on as officials gathered in the vicinity. 'It's kind of a big deal, I mean, do we all want World War III?' one man told Alaska's News Source. The two leaders will hold peace talks regarding the future of Russia and Ukraine, amid a deadly war that has killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers on both sides. Earlier on Thursday, Putin praised Trump's 'energetic and sincere efforts to stop' the war in Ukraine. More than a million Russian troops have been killed or injured since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began on 24 February 2022, reports the British Ministry of Defense. Meanwhile, Ukrainian personnel fatalities and casualties have amounted to around 400,000, says the US-based Centre for Strategic and International Studies. Ahead of the summit, Trump vowed that Putin was 'not going to mess around with me,' as he hopes to secure a ceasefire deal. The Independent contacted the university, along with the Anchorage tourism board, for comment.

Dozens of beaches in Massachusetts closed for swimming due to bacteria, toxic algae in water
It will be ideal beach day weather in Massachusetts this weekend, with sunny skies and temperatures in the 80s and 90s. But dozens of beaches across the state are closed for swimming because there is either too much bacteria in the water or toxic algae is present. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health maintains a daily online dashboard of beach closures. As of 8 a.m. Friday, there were more than 50 closures listed. The main beach at Walden Pond in Concord is closed all summer due to construction of a new bathhouse.

Swimming in water with too much bacteria can cause gastrointestinal symptoms, respiratory illness and itching. The harmful cyanobacteria blooms can lead to similar problems. The algae bloom occurs when cyanobacteria multiplies quickly, causing water to become pea soup-colored and smell bad. In Plymouth last week, beachgoers and their pets were warned to avoid several ponds because the toxic algae could make them sick. None of the beach closures are related to a rare flesh-eating bacteria that infected a swimmer at Old Silver Beach in Falmouth. Health officials there say the beach is safe for swimming as long as people make sure they do not go in the water with an exposed wound.

As non-Americans avoid the US, Las Vegas workers can't cash in on Trump's 'no tax on tips' policy. Here's why
Tourism in Las Vegas is down since last year — and tip-dependent workers, like bartenders and dealers who rely heavily on tourist traffic, are especially vulnerable, even with Trump's 'no tax on tips' policy. The Wall Street Journal reports that tip incomes in Las Vegas are shrinking across the board. While tip tax exemptions might sound appealing to Las Vegas workers, some are expressing doubt about how much of a difference it will make with tourism slowing. 'The tip tax break won't mean much if there's no one at the gaming tables or no one dining out,' Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro (D-Las Vegas) said during a bill hearing. And you don't have to be a betting man to see how a slowdown in tourism is rippling through Nevada's service economy. Don't miss Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says this 7-step plan 'works every single time' to kill debt, get rich in America — and that 'anyone' can do it What's happening in Vegas? Las Vegas is one of the country's most tourism-reliant cities. In April, 3.3 million people visited Las Vegas — a year-over-year drop of 5.1%. Year to date, visitation is down 6.5% for 2025, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA). Passenger traffic at Harry Reid International Airport continued its decline in June — both domestically and internationally — with the airport reporting a 6.3% year-over-year decline. Year to date, it's seen a 4.1% decline. As a whole, the U.S. is projected to lose $12.5 billion in international visitor spending this year, according to a report from the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC). Julia Simpson, WTTC president and CEO, said in a statement, 'While other nations are rolling out the welcome mat, the U.S. government is putting up the 'closed' sign.' The report states that this loss in tourism will deal a blow to the U.S. economy overall, 'impacting communities, jobs, and businesses from coast to coast.' President Donald Trump's talk of making Canada the 51st state — along with trade disputes — has driven Canadian tourists away. But arrivals are also down from other key markets, including the U.K., Germany and South Korea. Media reports of detentions at U.S. border crossings, along with government travel warnings, are causing many international travelers to steer clear. Even domestic tourism has slowed as rising costs and recession fears prompt Americans to cut back on discretionary spending. 'Consumers aren't feeling confident and that doesn't bode well for the remainder of 2025,' Jan Freitag, national director of hospitality analytics for the CoStar Group that tracks travel across the country, told CDC Gaming. 'Las Vegas is a market where people use their discretionary income.' Read more: Nervous about the stock market? Gain potential quarterly income through this $1B private real estate fund — even if you're not a millionaire. How the tourism slump is hitting tipped workers That slowdown has real consequences in Nevada, where it's estimated that more than 5% of workers rely on tips, according to the Tax Policy Center. That's higher than most other states. From bartenders to blackjack dealers, fewer visitors means fewer chances to earn gratuities. Social chatter also indicates that some Americans are fed up with the 'absurd' resort fees and high prices. And this could be making it less enticing as a travel destination for Americans who are struggling to make ends meet. Some locals say their earnings have dropped by as much as 50%, reports the Wall Street Journal. Charlie Mungo, a 36-year-old tattoo artist, told WSJ he used to earn $3,000 to $6,000 a month including tips — now he's making about $1,500. Trump's 'no tax on tips' policy, which exempts up to $25,000 in tips annually from personal income taxes, was meant to boost take-home pay for service workers. But as Mungo puts it, 'It doesn't really do us much good if there isn't any people to get tips from.' What you can do to shore up your finances For tip-dependent workers in Las Vegas — or anywhere in the country — worried about their future, they can take steps to shore up their finances in the same way one would prepare for a recession. Plan ahead: 'Make sure you identify the minimum you can spend in a given month to get by, just in case you or your spouse/partner experiences a job loss,' according to advice from Equifax. Create an emergency fund: It should cover at least three to six months of those essential expenses. Prioritize the most important payments: If you do get in a financial situation where you're unable to cover your expenses, make sure to pay your rent or mortgage on time (to avoid eviction) and make car payments (if you need your car to get to work). Negotiate credit card payments, if needed: If your income has been reduced and you're struggling to keep up with your bills, contact your creditors and ask for a payment plan or hardship concessions, says Equifax. 'This might include making interest-only payments on your debt or putting payments into forbearance.' Even the best budgeting strategies can only go so far when the local economy depends on visitors who aren't showing up. In Las Vegas, every drop in tourism sends ripples through the service industry, hitting tip-dependent workers first and hardest, and that reality isn't unique to Nevada. 'What happens in Las Vegas matters on a national scale because it often reflects larger trends,' Andrew Woods, director of the Center for Business and Economic Research at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, told NPR. 'It tends to be a signal for potentially where the economy's headed.' What to read next Robert Kiyosaki warns of a 'Greater Depression' coming to the US — with millions of Americans going poor. But he says these 2 'easy-money' assets will bring in 'great wealth'. How to get in now Here are 5 simple ways to grow rich with real estate if you don't want to play landlord. And you can even start with as little as $10 Rich, young Americans are ditching the stormy stock market — here are the alternative assets they're banking on instead Here are 5 'must have' items that Americans (almost) always overpay for — and very quickly regret.
