A tough one.... but I’d pick losing the luggage. Two days’ worth of clothes and essentials ride in my carry-on anyway (for that very reason), and as my husband says - as long as we have passports and money on us, we’re good.

What about you?

My passion for Antarctica is now geographically documented 🗺️ 😊

Some people dream of seeing their name in lights, mine’s on Antarctic Ambassador Map of people working to protect one of the most remote, fragile, and awe-inspiring places on Earth 🐧🧊

From sharing travel tips that help to protect environment, to advocating against krill harvesting in beauty products, to swapping out plastic for eco-friendly alternatives - being part of Antarctic Ambassador community means the world to me.

I might be just one little dot on a big map, but together, these dots are making a difference 🌎

The best part? You don’t have to travel to Antarctica to help protect it - even small changes at home can make a big impact.

What’s one eco-friendly habit you’ve added to your daily life?

Heads up, travelers: The Real ID deadline is almost here!

Starting May 7, 2025, anyone 18 and older flying within the U.S. will need to show a Real ID–compliant driver's license or another TSA-accepted form of ID, like a valid U.S. passport, to pass through airport security.

If you’re not sure whether your license qualifies, check for a star in the upper corner—it’s the key indicator. Each state has its own version, and the process for getting a Real ID varies slightly.
• Generally, you’ll need to visit your local DMV in person with:
• Proof of identity (e.g., passport or birth certificate)
• Proof of Social Security number (e.g., SSN card or W-2)
• Two documents proving state residency

You can’t apply online—this one requires a DMV visit.
If you show up at the airport after May 7 without the right ID, TSA says you may face delays, extra screening, or even be denied access to the security checkpoint. Even TSA PreCheck travelers aren’t exempt from this. They recommend arriving at least three hours early if you don’t have a Real ID or passport, in case you need to go through the identity verification process.

This shift is part of a nationwide effort to enhance security standards for travel, stemming from recommendations made after 9/11. All 50 states and U.S. territories are now issuing Real ID–compliant cards, but millions of Americans still don’t have one.

So here’s your friendly nudge:
Double-check your license, book that DMV appointment if needed, and avoid last-minute stress before your next trip.

For more information about Real ID guidelines, TSA has a helpful interactive online map ( https://www.dhs.gov/real-id) that allows you to click on your departure state to get details about how to get a Real ID there and the related travel requirements.

TRAVEL TIPS FRIDAY

Take all the photos you want! 📸 There’s no such thing as ‘too many’ when you’re on vacation. Snap away—you can always delete the extras later, but you’ll never regret capturing a magical moment or stunning view.

Here's a quick overview of what you should expect for that luxury cruise to celebrate your big milestone.

➡️ Ultra-Luxury Cruise Lines (like Regent, Seabourn, or Silversea):

These start from around $5,000 per person for a 7-day cruise, with more exclusive suites and longer itineraries easily going up to $15,000-$30,000+ per person.

➡️ Luxury Ocean Cruises (like Oceania, Viking, or Azamara):

Expect to budget $3,000-$8,000 per person for a 7- to 10-day cruise, with higher prices for suites or longer voyages.

Things like cabin type, destinations, shore excursions, and spa days will also impact how much you should budget.

Now, I'm all about making sure my clients' cruise experience maximizes their budget, so if you're looking to splurge in 2025 for that big celebration and want help picking the right cruise line, ship, and itinerary, get in touch, I'd love to help!
