✈️ TRAVEL TIP TUESDAY ✈️

💵 DON’T WAIT UNTIL YOU LAND TO THINK ABOUT MONEY!

You’ve made it to your international destination, grabbed your bags and suddenly realize…

“Wait… I need local currency.” 😩

So you head straight for the first currency exchange counter you see at the airport.

Convenient? Absolutely.

Always your best option? Not necessarily. 👀

Airport currency exchange services can sometimes come with less favorable exchange rates or additional fees — and those little differences can add up.

✈️ KERI’S TIP: Have a money plan BEFORE you travel.

Before leaving home:

💳 Check whether your credit/debit cards charge foreign transaction fees.

🏧 Find out what your bank charges for international ATM withdrawals.

💵 Research whether you’ll actually need much cash at your destination.

📱 Let your bank know about international travel if your bank recommends or requires it.

🌎 Learn the approximate exchange rate so you have an idea of what you’re actually spending.

And here’s a BIG one…

When a card machine or ATM abroad asks whether you’d like to be charged in U.S. dollars or the local currency, don’t automatically choose dollars just because it looks familiar.

The conversion offered at the machine may include its own exchange rate or markup. 💸

A few minutes of research before your vacation can help you avoid unnecessary fees once you’re there.

Spend that money on an excursion, a great dinner or a souvenir instead. 😉🌴

✈️ MONDAY REMINDER: “SOMEDAY” ISN’T ON THE CALENDAR.

How many places have you said you want to visit…

“Someday.”

Someday I’ll see Italy. 🇮🇹
Someday I’ll take that cruise. 🚢
Someday I’ll finally see the mountains. 🏔️
Someday we’ll take a family vacation. ❤️
Someday the girls will actually take that trip. 😂
Someday I’ll sit on that beach with absolutely NOTHING to do. 🌴

And then another year goes by.

Here’s your Monday reminder:

You don’t have to wait for a milestone to make a memory.

Not every vacation needs to celebrate a birthday.

You don’t need an anniversary.

You don’t need to graduate.

You don’t need to get married.

You don’t need some huge life event that gives you “permission” to go.

Sometimes the reason can simply be…

“I want to experience this while I can.” ❤️

Take the weekend getaway.

See the place you’ve always talked about.

Take your parents somewhere.

Make memories with your kids.

Actually book the girls’ trip.

Take the romantic trip just because.

Or take YOURSELF somewhere you’ve always wanted to see. ✈️

Because someday, the things you’ll remember most won’t be the weeks when everything went exactly according to routine.

They’ll be the moments when you said…

LET’S GO. ❤️

So tell me:

🌎 What destination has been sitting on YOUR “someday” list the longest?

Drop it below. 👇🏽

Maybe it’s time we finally put a DATE beside it.

🌴👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 FAMILY GETAWAY SATURDAY: PUNTA CANA!

Parents…what if your next family vacation didn’t require figuring out where everyone is eating, what you’re doing every hour AND how much every little thing will cost? 😂

That’s why I LOVE Punta Cana for families!

Choose the right family-friendly all-inclusive resort and so much is already waiting for you when you arrive. ✈️🌴

💦 WATER PARKS & AMAZING POOLS
Slides, splash zones, lazy rivers and multiple pools can keep the kids entertained without ever leaving the resort.

🏖️ BEAUTIFUL BEACHES
Parents get that tropical escape while the kids get the beach vacation they’ve been begging for.

🍕 ALL-INCLUSIVE DINING
Multiple restaurants, snacks and drinks make feeding everyone MUCH easier—especially those always-hungry teenagers. 😂

🧒 KIDS’ & TEEN SPACES
Many resorts offer kids’ clubs, teen lounges, games and activities for different ages.

🎭 ENTERTAINMENT BUILT IN
Pool activities, family fun and nighttime shows mean you don’t need an excursion planned every day.

🤿 ADVENTURE WHEN YOU WANT IT
Add snorkeling, catamaran trips, nature adventures, water parks and more!

❤️ AND SOMETHING FOR THE PARENTS
Because a family vacation should still feel like a vacation for the adults! Think beautiful restaurants, cocktails, spa time, gorgeous pools and maybe a little quiet while the kids are busy. 😉

That’s why I wouldn’t book just ANY Punta Cana resort—I’d match the RESORT to your FAMILY.

Toddlers need something different from teenagers, and adventure-loving families need something different from families who want five days by the pool.

That’s where good vacation planning makes a difference. 💚

Next up, I’ll build an actual Punta Cana family vacation package so you can see what taking the whole crew could look like! 👀✈️

🇨🇷 WHY COSTA RICA SHOULD BE ON YOUR TRAVEL LIST 🌴

If Costa Rica has been sitting on your “maybe someday” list… consider this your sign to move it closer to the top. ✈️💚

Costa Rica is one of those destinations where you don’t have to choose between relaxation and adventure — you can have BOTH.

🌊 BEAUTIFUL BEACHES
Spend the day relaxing along gorgeous Pacific or Caribbean shores, soaking up the sunshine and listening to the waves.

🌿 LUSH RAINFORESTS
Step away from the resort and suddenly you’re surrounded by tropical greenery, hidden waterfalls and incredible scenery.

🦥 AMAZING WILDLIFE
Sloths, monkeys, toucans, colorful tropical birds and so much more! Costa Rica is perfect for travelers who love seeing nature up close.

🌋 VOLCANOES & HOT SPRINGS
Explore areas surrounding Costa Rica’s impressive volcanoes and then slow things down with a relaxing soak in natural hot springs.

💦 WATERFALLS
From towering falls hidden in the rainforest to bright blue swimming holes, Costa Rica has some seriously picture-worthy scenery.

🧗🏽‍♀️ ADVENTURE IS EVERYWHERE
Zip-lining through the rainforest, hiking, snorkeling, kayaking, rafting, ATV tours and wildlife excursions are just a few ways to explore.

🍹 OR… DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
Grab a drink, find a pool or beach chair and enjoy the tropical weather. Your vacation doesn’t have to be packed with activities to be unforgettable.

And then there’s Pura Vida. 🇨🇷❤️

Literally meaning “pure life,” it’s more than a phrase in Costa Rica. It’s a way of slowing down, appreciating the moment and enjoying the good things in life.

✨ Adventure when you want it.
Luxury when you need it.
Nature everywhere you look.

Costa Rica gives you a little bit of everything. 🌴🌊🌺

And if today’s Travel Deal Thursday has you thinking Costa Rica might be calling your name…

🇨🇼 7 REASONS CURAÇAO SHOULD BE ON YOUR TRAVEL LIST 🌴

Earlier today I introduced you to Curaçao…

Now let’s talk about why you might want to actually BOOK THE TRIP. ✈️😏

1️⃣ THOSE BEACHES 🏖️

Curaçao’s coastline is filled with beautiful little coves surrounded by cliffs and ridiculously clear Caribbean water.

And because there are so many different beaches to explore, you don’t have to spend your entire vacation in one spot.

2️⃣ THE WATER IS MADE FOR EXPLORING 🐠

Grab your snorkel!

Curaçao is known for clear water, coral reefs and incredible marine life — with many snorkeling and diving opportunities accessible right from shore.

3️⃣ WILLEMSTAD IS GORGEOUS 🌈

This isn’t a destination where you should stay inside the resort gates all week.

Colorful architecture, waterfront restaurants, shopping, historic neighborhoods and Caribbean-meets-European charm make Willemstad worth exploring.

4️⃣ YOU CAN HAVE BEACH + ADVENTURE 🌵

One day you’re floating in turquoise water…

The next you’re exploring rugged coastline, caves, national parks or hiking through Curaçao’s desert-like landscape.

5️⃣ IT HAS ITS OWN PERSONALITY 💃

Curaçao doesn’t feel like a copy-and-paste Caribbean island.

The combination of Dutch, Caribbean and Latin influences gives the island its own culture, food, architecture and energy.

6️⃣ IT’S GREAT FOR ISLAND EXPLORERS 🚙

Rent a car and GO.

Find a secluded beach.

Stop somewhere local for lunch.

Explore Willemstad.

Watch the sunset from somewhere completely unexpected.

Curaçao rewards travelers who like to get out and discover.

7️⃣ IT’S BEAUTIFUL WITHOUT FEELING ORDINARY ✨

If you’ve already experienced some of the more familiar Caribbean destinations and you’re ready for something different…

THIS might be your island.

🌈 Colorful
🌊 Beautiful
🌵 Adventurous
🐠 Incredible underwater
🍹 Relaxed
🌴 Caribbean — but unmistakably Curaçao.

So tell me…

🇨🇼 Are we adding Curaçao to the list? 👀✈️

🌴✨ WANDERLUST WEDNESDAY: CURAÇAO ✨🌴

If Curaçao isn’t already on your travel list… this might be your sign. 🇨🇼💙

Imagine waking up, stepping outside your room, and slipping straight into the water from your King Swim-Out Suite. 😍

✈️ CURAÇAO GETAWAY FOR TWO

📅 May 10–16, 2027
✈️ Round-trip flights from Louisville (SDF)
🏝️ 6-night all-inclusive stay at The Rif at Mangrove Beach Corendon Curaçao
💦 King Swim-Out Suite
🚐 Round-trip airport transfers
🛡️ Travel protection included

💰 TOTAL FOR 2 ADULTS: $5,199

And once you arrive, there’s plenty to enjoy without even leaving the resort:

✨ 5 pools
🍹 11 bars
🍽️ 9 restaurants
🏋🏽 Gym
🎶 Daily & nightly entertainment
🥂 Stocked in-room minibar
🌴 All-inclusive dining, drinks & resort fun

But Curaçao itself is what makes this getaway extra special. 💙

Spend a day wandering the colorful streets of Willemstad, relax beside Curaçao’s gorgeous turquoise water, explore hidden coves and beaches, snorkel in crystal-clear Caribbean waters, or simply slow down and enjoy island life.

Curaçao gives you that Caribbean escape with a little something different—beautiful beaches, colorful Dutch-Caribbean architecture, incredible water and plenty of culture to explore.

And that swim-out suite? That may be my favorite part. 😍

🌎 WANDERLUST WEDNESDAY 🇨🇼

This week we’re heading to a Caribbean island that brings a little something DIFFERENT to the table…

✨ CURAÇAO ✨

Picture turquoise Caribbean water, hidden beach coves, colorful Dutch architecture, incredible snorkeling and an island capital that looks like someone painted it with a box of crayons. 😍🌈

Welcome to Curaçao.

Located in the southern Caribbean, Curaçao is part of the ABC Islands — Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao — and it’s perfect for travelers who want more than just sitting at an all-inclusive resort all week.

🌈 WILLEMSTAD

Curaçao’s colorful capital is one of the island’s biggest attractions. Explore the historic districts, waterfront, shops, restaurants and those famous brightly colored buildings.

🏖️ BEAUTIFUL BEACH COVES

Instead of one endless stretch of beach, Curaçao is known for gorgeous coves tucked along its coastline.

Beaches like Grote Knip, Cas Abao and Playa Lagun are absolutely stunning.

🐠 SNORKELING & DIVING

Crystal-clear water, coral reefs and marine life make Curaçao an incredible destination for anyone who loves being UNDER the water as much as beside it.

🐢 And yes…there are places where you may even get the chance to snorkel with sea turtles.

🌵 A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CARIBBEAN LANDSCAPE

Don’t expect a lush tropical rainforest everywhere you look.

Curaçao has a beautiful, rugged landscape filled with cacti, rocky coastline and incredible ocean views.

🍹 FOOD + CULTURE

Dutch, Caribbean, Latin American and other cultural influences come together here, giving Curaçao its own personality, food and traditions.

🌅 AND THE SUNSETS?

Yeah…you’re going to want your camera ready. 😍

Curaçao gives you:

🌊 Caribbean-blue water
🌈 Colorful architecture
🏖️ Gorgeous beaches
🐠 Incredible snorkeling & diving
🍽️ Great food
🌵 Adventure
🎶 Culture
☀️ Plenty of sunshine

If you want the Caribbean…

but you don’t want the same Caribbean vacation everyone else is taking…

Curaçao deserves a look. 👀✈️

✈️ TRAVEL TIP TUESDAY ✈️

🧳 PACK YOUR CARRY-ON LIKE YOUR CHECKED BAG ISN’T COMING.

Sounds dramatic… until you’re standing at baggage claim and your suitcase isn’t. 😩😂

Here’s one travel habit I recommend:

Pack enough in your carry-on to comfortably get through the FIRST 24 HOURS of your vacation.

Your carry-on should include:

👗 One complete change of clothes
🩱 A swimsuit if you’re headed somewhere tropical
🪥 Travel-size toiletries
💊 Medications you need
🔌 Phone charger & essential electronics
🩲 Undergarments
😴 Something comfortable to sleep in
👟 Any essentials you absolutely can’t go a day without

And anything valuable or difficult to replace should stay with you — not in your checked luggage.

Why?

Because delayed luggage doesn’t have to mean a delayed vacation. 🌴

If your suitcase decides to take a vacation of its own, you can still check into your resort, change clothes, grab dinner and even hit the pool while the airline works on getting your bag to you. 😎🍹

✈️ KERI’S TIP: Think of your carry-on as your 24-hour survival bag, not just somewhere to put snacks and a phone charger.

Prepare for the inconvenience so you can keep enjoying the experience. 💚
