Hi Travelers!
It’s Souvenir Sunday ☀️

Cookbooks are a great souvenir for anyone who loves to cook - the best part is you can make delicious dishes you enjoyed on your travels once you’re back home with family and friends 🏡 🌎

A few years ago I had so much fun in NYC filming travel and packing tips with Rachael Ray on Rachael Ray Show - I’ve never laughed so much on a TV set as I did with her. Rachael autographed a few cookbooks for me to bring home as souvenirs for friends and family and I decided to actually make - yes cook - something. Voila!! photos attached 🌟 I surprised myself how well it turned out - super easy directions and delicious! 😂 💙

Travel tip: Be sure to check out Chelsea Market when you’re in NYC. Lots of great eateries and a foodie paradise.

What type of souvenir do you like to bring home? ⬇️

Hi Everyone!
It’s Souvenir Sunday☀️

What could be better than finding a double-decker souvenir bank while cleaning out my closet? If it was full of coins and English toffee!! 🇬🇧 💂🏻‍♂️ 🇬🇧

Love this ‘money box’ from a trip to iconic Harrods of London years ago 🇬🇧 💂🏻‍♂️ ☎️

Have you been to London? 🇬🇧Share a favorite memory or souvenir ⬇️

Hi Everyone!
It’s Souvenir Sunday ☀️
I love postcards - writing them, sending them, receiving them - it’s all part of the fun of traveling for me ✍️ 📫 🧳

So - no surprise one of my favorite things about AmaWaterways river cruises is they provide complimentary post cards AND they pay the postage to mail them for you ⚓️ 🤍 How great is that?!

But wait - there’s more. I just received a thank-you postcard from my recent Dec AmaSiena cruise in the mail yesterday ⭐️ It made my day! I especially love wondering where it’s traveled to since it was mailed three months ago 😉 📫 🌍

Travel tip: AMA Christmas Market cruises sail Nov thru Dec - so pack your Christmas card list/addresses and send everyone on your list Fröhe Weihnachten Merry Christmas postcard wishes from Europe! 🌍

Do you send postcards? Have you ever mailed one to yourself?

Let’s get packing! 🧳

Hello from the Oregon Coast!☀️

Travel tip: when booking a hotel room - ask a few key questions like which side of the hotel has the better view or less noise. And if you’re a light sleeper - consider packing ear plugs. 🧳

This is the amazing view from my room at Hampton Inn & Suites - Astoria, Oregon The good news here is when my door is closed I don’t hear the sea lions 🦭🦭🦭 and the location is great! 🛳 🍺 🚃

Do you have a favorite hotel from your travels? Where in the world is it? 🌎
