Dear Travel Fan, This week I want to share a really special article with you by Yewande Komolafe, a colleague on Times Cooking. She lost her legs and most of her fingers after a long hospitalization and now uses a wheelchair to get around. She recently spent a weekend in New York City as a tourist, with the photographer Courtney Yates along to capture the experience in photos and videos. Her story is about her change in perspective, her new challenges and her joy. Fishing may not be the first thing you think of when you plan a trip to Italy, but this article about street fishing in Treviso might change your mind. We’re here to help you out when you’re traveling, so we’ve got a guide to the newly raised baggage fees that airlines are charging — and how you can avoid them. We also have a roundup of arrivals lounges — spots in airports where you can shower or have a nap when you get off the plane. We look at the rash of cancellations from airlines, especially in Europe, and how they could affect summer travel. And with measles and other diseases resurgent, we have a guide to how to protect yourself and your family while traveling. Our 36 Hours column this week visits Richmond, Va., where you can learn about the city’s history at the unflinching Civil War Museum and also enjoy the natural playgrounds created by the James River. And, finally, we have suggestions for five European museums that explore the history of “ordinary people” who resisted Fascism and Nazism. Wishing you safe and happy travels,
