November is a special time of year. Not only do we start moving into the holiday season, but we also still get to enjoy amazing fall weather. It's the best of both worlds! Our November events reflect this transition perfectly-we have a train ride and musical performance that both celebrate the holidays as well as fun outdoor activities that take advantage of the fall weather.

 

When traveling to Rhode Island this November, or any time, it can be tough choosing which of the many charming hotels, inns, and B&Bs will be your home away from home. But only one was voted the #1 hotel in the Northeast in the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards: The Vanderbilt, Auberge Resorts Collection in Newport. Harkening back to the opulent Gilded Age, this meticulous resort will make you feel just like the namesake family. Visit our Press Page to learn more about this and other stories waiting to be told.

Twelve more hostages have been released by Hamas as part of an extended ceasefire deal with Israel. Yesterday, the temporary pause in fighting was extended an additional two days. Israeli and Palestinian officials said 30 Palestinian detainees -- 15 women and 15 minor males -- were also released from Israeli prisons today.        The Pentagon says missiles fired from a rebel-controlled area of Yemen in the direction of a Navy warship were not intended for the vessel. Pentagon Press Secretary Pat Ryder said in a briefing Tuesday that he can't speak to what the target actually was. The missile landed near the USS Mason and a commercial tanker, but the Pentagon assessed they weren't singled out.        A Republican super PAC is backing Nikki Haley's presidential campaign. The political action network financed largely by billionaire Charles Koch [[ Coke ]] has endorsed the former South Carolina governor's bid for the White House. It's seen as a major boost to Haley's campaign as a viable Republican alternative to former President Trump.        Hunter Biden is willing to testify before Congress in the House's investigation into his actions, but only if he can do so publicly. The president's son's legal team said so in a letter to the House Oversight Committee. Hunter Biden's attorneys accused the House of using "closed-door sessions to manipulate, even distort the facts and misinform the public."        The judge in Elon Musk's lawsuit against Media Matters is recusing himself from the case. New court documents revealed Judge Mark Pittman was stepping away and asked the case to be assigned to a different judge. Pittman didn't give a reason for the recusal. Musk is suing the media watchdog for defamation, alleging they defamed his social media platform X.        Pope Francis is pulling out of his planned trip to the COP28 climate meeting in Dubai. The Vatican said the Pope is continuing to deal with the effects of the flu as he recovers from it, along with lung inflammation. The 86-year-old pope was due to travel to the Middle East this weekend for three days. The pope agreed to stay home "with great regret." The Vatican is looking into ways he can still join discussions remotely.
