Let’s get into Club Med Miches Playa Esmeralda 🇩🇴

Club Med Miches is wellness-focused resort tucked into an untouched part of the Dominican Republic, 90 minutes from Punta Cana’s airport.

It’s built as one resort with four boutique villages: Explorer Cove, Emerald Jungle (adults-only), Archipelago (couples, private-pool suites), and Caribbean Paradise. The whole property flexes to fit families, couples, singles, and friend groups without anyone feeling out of place.

The real standout is the activities offered. This resort doesn’t just have a pool and call it a day. We’re talking over 20 activities included, from aerial yoga and Latin dance lessons to archery, pickleball, and an actual flying trapeze school 🤸🏿‍♀️Add nightly entertainment, pool parties, and nature excursions like whale watching and the cacao trail, and there’s genuinely no downtime unless you want there to be.

Highlights:
•All-inclusive
•3 distinctive pools, including an adults-only pool
•4 restaurants + 4 bars
•Spa by Cinq Mondes
•Trapeze School
•Kids programs from 4 months through 17 years
•Secret chocolate room

If you’ve been picturing an all-inclusive that’s equal parts relaxing and fun, this one’s worth a look.

Remember when you could actually walk someone to their gate at the airport?

If you do, you might be happy to hear that it’s making a comeback.

TSA has launched **Gateside by TSA PreCheck**, a new program that allows eligible PreCheck members to access the secure side of participating airports without a boarding pass.

I can see this being SO helpful for families. If you’re traveling with young children, helping an elderly parent navigate the airport, or just want to walk someone to their gate before saying goodbye, this could make the airport experience a whole lot easier.

There are some eligibility requirements and participating airports are limited for now, so check the details before you make plans.

The Vanderpump Hotel in Las Vegas is officially open. ✨

If you’ve ever watched Lisa Vanderpump on TV, you already know her signature style. The hotel is dripping in over-the-top glamour and is home to GIADA restaurant, a chic lobby bar, rooftop pool, casino, and the legendary Drais After Hours.

This would be such a fun pick for a girls’ trip, bachelorette weekend, or solo trip.

Would you stay here?

What’s a Sea Day like on Virgin Voyages?

The best cruise lines don’t just take you somewhere… they make you excited to stay onboard.

Swipe through to see how I spent mine!

Thinking about sailing Virgin? Book an eligible Alaska, West Coast, or New York voyage between August 1–31 and you’ll receive a $50 Bar Tab on me!

Two years ago today, my family set sail on Allure of the Seas for a reunion we’ll never forget. ❤️🚢

Watching my family make new memories together reminded me why I love travel so much. It’s never just about the destination. It’s about the people you’re sharing it with.

Here’s to many more reunions… and hopefully welcoming a few new faces on future group trips. ❤️
