The upcoming holidays invariably trigger a sharp increase in air travel demand, and air passenger volumes surge dramatically. If you have plans to travel during the holidays, be sure to protect your luggage. In addition, have an AirTag or comparable tracking device hidden in your luggage to help locate it/them if lost or stolen.

This is also one of the MANY reasons travel insurance is vitally important, whether you're traveling domestically or internationally. Many travel insurance providers offer assistance and/or bag tracking if your checked bags get lost or put on the wrong flight, but they can't track them if they're stolen (like what happened in the attached article). It is always best to have travel insurance in the event of an unexpected event or emergency, but having a tracking device in your luggage is just as important!

If you are still contemplating travel during the holidays but have not booked anything because you don't have time or the bandwidth to handle it, let me help you! That's what I do! Reach out to me ASAP to discuss holiday travel, spring break travel, or even travel for summer 2027. I will handle everything for you!

That little piece of paper on your luggage might seem harmless, but it's not. Read this important scam warning from Clark Howard.

On this National Coffee Day, after the gym I sought out a local coffee shop that I hadn’t been to before and happened upon Marketplace Coffee in the shopping center off Williamson Road near the corner of Brawley School Road. It is a cute, small shop with delicious coffee! I got a Maple Pecan Latte with Maple Pecan foam and it was divine! Give them a try when you’re in the area!

Happy National Coffee Day! Coffee and travel go hand in hand; whether it’s the first cup before a day of exploring or stopping a local café to soak in the culture. Where is the best coffee you've had while travelling?

A lazy river, FlowRider AND bowling alley…at an adults-only all-inclusive?!

Meet Ocean Allure Costa Mujeres.
The best part is that it was originally designed to be a family resort before plans changed and it became adults-only…which means some of the fun features stayed.

Lazy river
FlowRider
Bowling alley
Virtual golf
Pickleball
Seriously good food
24-hour room service for everyone

One of the gorgeous beaches of Costa Mujeres
Plus, more than 80% of the rooms have an ocean view, the resort is easy to get around, and the design is BEAUTIFUL. Think modern, stylish spaces with a lobby that gives you that immediate wow when you walk in.

Would you rather spend your afternoon floating the lazy river, attempting the FlowRider, playing pickleball or hanging at the beach?
