The cities our clients most want to visit are actively rethinking who they let in.

Barcelona’s mayor recently announced plans to raise the cruise passenger tax and eliminate stopover cruise ships entirely by 2027. Venice already charges a day-entry fee during peak season. Santorini caps the number of cruise passengers allowed on the island per day. Amsterdam has openly redirected certain types of tourism away from its most congested neighborhoods.

These are not isolated decisions. They are a coordinated shift happening across Europe’s most visited destinations, and they have real implications for how travel needs to be planned right now.

Entry requirements are changing. Port access is changing. The window for certain itineraries and experiences is narrower than it was two years ago, and it is narrowing further.

Travelers who plan with an advisor who tracks these developments professionally are not caught off guard. They arrive informed, with itineraries that are built around what is actually available and accessible, not what was accurate two seasons ago.

If you have Mediterranean or European travel on your horizon for 2026 or 2027, now is the time to plan it well.

To every mother in this community, Happy Mother's Day.

There is a kind of travel that mothers rarely get. Not the family vacation where you are managing logistics and watching everyone else have experiences. Not the quick trip where you spend half of it worried about what you left behind.

The kind of travel I mean is the kind that belongs to you. Where you are not the planner or the coordinator or the person holding it all together. Where you are simply a traveler.

That kind of trip is worth planning. It is worth protecting. And you deserve to have someone else handle the details for once.

If a trip like that has been in the back of your mind, this is a good day to let it get a little louder.

Happy Mother's Day.

There is a version of this post where I talk about travel.

But today, I want to say something simpler. The work behind Abundant Moments and Memories has always been a partnership. The research, the structure, the systems, the thinking that goes into every REST brief and every client plan, none of that happens alone.

Today, Sage Ikechukwu, AMM's Executive Vice President, receives his MBA from UNC Charlotte. Years of work. Years of showing up consistently for both a business and a degree at the same time.

We are proud of him. And we are grateful for what he brings to this work every single day.

Congratulations to every graduate crossing a stage this month. The work you put in matters.

Medellin sits at roughly 5,000 feet above sea level. The average daily temperature is around 72 degrees Fahrenheit year round. Locals call it the City of Eternal Spring.

That climate detail is not a small thing for REST clients. It means no heavy summer heat. No winter coats. A warmer-than-average day in Medellin is still pleasant. A cooler-than-average day is jacket weather at most.

El Poblado is the neighborhood most long-stay travelers land in first. It is walkable, has a strong restaurant and cafe culture, reliable infrastructure, and the highest concentration of English speakers in the city. It is also the most expensive neighborhood by local standards, though still significantly more affordable than comparable areas in major American cities.

Laureles and Envigado offer a more local feel with lower costs and a different community character. REST clients who stay long enough often migrate from El Poblado to one of these neighborhoods once they have their bearings.

The neighborhood question is one of the most important ones we build into every Colombia REST brief.

Colombia's safety narrative is one of the most outdated stories in American travel culture.

The country that most travelers are imagining when they hesitate is not the Colombia that exists today. Medellin, once one of the most dangerous cities in the world, has undergone a documented, internationally recognized transformation. It now hosts millions of tourists annually and has a significant established long-stay community.

That does not mean Colombia is without risk. No country is. What it means is that the risks are specific, neighborhood-dependent, and navigable with the right information.

AMM's REST briefs are built to answer the safety question with specificity. Not reassurance. Not dismissal. Actual data on which neighborhoods REST clients should be looking at, what to avoid, and what the day-to-day safety picture looks like for a traveler who is paying attention.

The goal is grounded clarity, not a sales pitch for Colombia or against it.

Competition is good for travelers. When Spirit Airlines shut down, it left a real gap at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. JetBlue just stepped in to fill it in a meaningful way.

JetBlue announced its largest-ever schedule from FLL, adding 11 new destinations and significantly increasing its daily departures this summer. Charlotte is on that list. Starting July 9, 2026, JetBlue will offer nonstop CLT-FLL service three times daily.

That matters to our clients. The screenshot I shared compares two real fares pulled this morning for the same route on the same travel dates. JetBlue came in at $331.80 round trip. American Airlines came in at $463.80. That is a difference of $132. On one trip. For one person. Multiply that across a family or a group, and the savings become significant.

Price is one piece of the picture. JetBlue also includes free, unlimited Fly-Fi, seatback entertainment at every seat, and complimentary snacks and drinks. These are not add-ons. They are standard.
If you are planning a cruise out of Port

Everglades, a beach trip to South Florida, or a getaway that connects through Fort Lauderdale, it is worth comparing your options before booking. JetBlue is now a strong choice out of CLT, and the fares reflect the competition.

Compare the route at jetblue.com and see what is available for your travel dates.

The Spirit Airlines closure changed the flight math for a lot of routes.

One fewer airline in the market means one fewer competitor keeping prices in check on the routes Spirit served. For travelers booking into Florida, Las Vegas, the Caribbean, and several Latin American gateways, available seat inventory is tighter and prices are responding accordingly.

This is not a reason to panic. It is a reason to plan earlier than you might have before.

AMM builds flight strategy into the planning process for every client. We look at routing, timing, layover risk, and carrier reliability alongside destination fit. The goal is never just the cheapest ticket. It is the ticket that gets you there and back without the kind of stress that follows you into your vacation.

If you have been holding off on booking because you were waiting for prices to drop, this is a good moment to reassess that strategy.

Reach out and let us take a look at what the options actually are for your trip.

Labor Day 2026 is September 7th.

That means we have roughly four months. Which sounds like plenty of time until you factor in how quickly good options disappear.

For cruise departures over Labor Day weekend, the most desirable cabin categories are already thinning. For international resort stays, the best inventory at the best rates goes to clients who are already in planning now.

This is not urgency for its own sake. This is simply how travel works when you want something specific.

AMM helps clients get ahead of their own timelines. If a Labor Day trip is on your list and you have not started yet, this week is a good week to change that.

Book your consultation and let us figure out what is still available and what works for your household.

A Relocation Scouting Trip, or REST, is a structured, intentional stay in a country you are genuinely curious about. Long enough to move past first impressions. Focused enough to start asking the questions that actually matter.

Colombia is AMM's May REST country, and we are starting with the foundation: what makes Colombia worth scouting in the first place.

The short answer is variety. Medellin offers a cool-climate city with a transformed reputation, a metro system, walkable neighborhoods, and an established long-stay community. Cartagena offers a coastal colonial city with Caribbean warmth, a distinct cultural identity, and a completely different pace.

Both are worth understanding. Neither is right for everyone.

Throughout May, we will be breaking down cost of living, healthcare access, neighborhoods, transportation, and the practical realities that most travel content skips over. This is research, not a highlight reel.

If Colombia has been on your mind, follow the series. If you have specific questions, drop them in the comments and we will work them into the content.

Some travelers know exactly what they want from a cruise. No noise. No chaos. Just space to breathe, connect, and actually unwind.

Oceania Cruises made it official earlier this year. Effective January 7, 2026, every sailing is now exclusively adults-only, welcoming guests 18 and older. It is a deliberate move, and an honest one. Oceania built its reputation on tranquility, culinary excellence, and destination-rich itineraries designed for travelers who want to go deeper, not louder. This policy simply puts the experience on paper.

If you have been searching for a cruise that feels like a genuine escape, where the atmosphere is unhurried, the service is attentive, and your fellow travelers share a similar mindset, Oceania belongs on your radar.

We can walk you through what makes it different and whether it fits what you are looking for. Send us a message or comment below if this cruise line sounds like something you need right now.
