We’ve gone behind the scenes at the Fogo Island Inn, one of the world’s most storied luxury lodges, and spent a night at the newly refreshed JAG Hotel, a downtown St. John’s icon reborn. In Gander, we toured the town’s aviation museum and airport before meeting the cast of Come From Away, who are preparing for the 25th anniversary of 9/11 next year.
