🚨 Y.O.G.O.L. ON THE GROUND CRITICAL UPDATE: Puerto Vallarta Security Alert & Shelter-in-Place 🚨

If you are currently in Puerto Vallarta or scheduled to arrive, please read this entire update. The situation on the ground is changing rapidly, and your safety is the absolute priority. Following a major federal security operation today, a state-wide "Código Rojo" (Red Code) has been activated.

Here is the current status of the city, transportation, and emergency protocols for all travelers:

📍 Security & Neighborhood Status
Shelter-in-Place Order: The U.S. Embassy and Canadian government have issued an immediate mandate for all citizens to shelter in place. Remain inside your hotel, resort, or residence until further notice.

Road Blockades: Armed groups have established blockades using burning vehicles at multiple key intersections. The Romantic Zone (Zona Romántica) has been heavily impacted, with fires reported at Highway 200 and Lázaro Cárdenas.

Active Zones: Avoid all unnecessary movement, especially near main thoroughfares and entrance/exit points of the city.

✈️ Airport & Flight Information
PVR Airport Status: While the National Guard is securing the terminal, the airport is effectively closed to commercial traffic. Road closures make it impassable and dangerous.

Cancellations: Most international and domestic flights for Sunday and Monday have been Canceled. Airlines including United, Delta, American, Southwest, Air Canada, and WestJet have grounded operations.

Travel Waivers: Do not go to the airport. Use your airline’s mobile app to check for travel waivers and rebooking options.

🛡️ Tips for Those Already Here
Stay Put: Your resort or hotel is the safest place to be. Do not leave the property for dining or sightseeing.

Stock Up: If your hotel has a market or room service, ensure you have basic supplies and water for the next 24–48 hours.

Communication: Keep your devices charged and use WhatsApp or social media to keep family updated on your safety.

Transport is Down: All public buses, taxis, and rideshare services (Uber/InDrive) have been officially suspended. Do not attempt to hail a ride.

✈️ Tips for Those on Their Way
Do Not Depart: If you are at home or a layover airport, do not attempt to reach Puerto Vallarta until the "all clear" is given.

Monitor Apps: Follow your airline's app for real-time updates. Most major carriers have already issued Travel Waivers allowing you to rebook without fees.

Resort Contact: Call your hotel or resort to inform them of your delay; many are being flexible with cancellation or late-arrival policies due to the security situation.

📞 Emergency Contact Information
Save these numbers immediately. If you are in an area of active conflict, dial 911.

U.S. Consular Agency (PV): 322-222-0069 or 33-3268-2100

U.S. Embassy 24-Hour Emergency: +52-33-3111-7800

Canadian Consular Agency (PV): 322-293-2500

The "Rich Auntie" Tech Stack:

Enroll in STEP: If you haven’t already, sign up for the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) at step.state.gov. This is how the government finds you in an evacuation.

WhatsApp is Queen: Keep your group chats active. If you lose power or data, WhatsApp often still works on low-bandwidth WiFi.

Check Your Documentation: Make sure you have a photo of your passport on your phone and a hard copy tucked in your bag. If you need to move quickly, you don’t want to be digging for it.

Airlines & Travel: Do not go to the airport (PVR) unless your airline has confirmed your flight is leaving and the roads are cleared by the National Guard. Most major carriers (United, Delta, American, etc.) have already issued Travel Waivers for today and tomorrow. Use them.

Final Word: Puerto Vallarta is tough, but she’s hurting today. We are going to "Retire the Cape," stay in our luxury lane (even if it's just in the resort lobby), and wait for the "all clear."
Next Steps: Keep your devices charged and stay in touch with your emergency contacts. I am monitoring the situation every hour as it unfolds.

🚨 UPDATE: Rich Auntie News You Need RIGHT NOW 🚨

Listen, Founding Sisters, the drama at the airport is moving faster than a sale at Neiman’s, and your favorite Rich Auntie has been keeping her eyes on the screen so you don’t have to stress your pretty heads. We are all about that Soft Life, and that means knowing exactly what’s happening before you head to the gate.

Here is the "Unmasked" truth on where things stand RIGHT NOW:

✅ TSA PreCheck — WE ARE BACK IN BUSINESS. The feds realized they couldn’t do us like that and reversed course this morning. PreCheck lanes are open, operational, and ready for you to breeze through. Take a deep breath and keep that "Rich Auntie Energy" high—you don't have to take off your shoes today!

⚠️ Global Entry — STILL ON TIME-OUT. Now, here is the real talk: if you are coming back from one of our international adventures today, the Global Entry kiosks are still down. They haven’t fixed this part of the mess yet. Expect the lines at passport control to be long and a little bit "extra." Pack your patience along with your souvenirs, because you’ll be waiting with everyone else in the regular line.

Auntie’s Pro-Tip: If you’re traveling in the Northeast, Blizzard Hernando is acting a fool, too. Check your flight status before you even put on your travel fit! ❄️

I’m watching the play-by-play for you. Stay safe, stay fly, and keep Protecting Your Peace.

🚨 Y.O.G.O.L. TRAVEL ALERT 🚨
Alright family, quick heads up.
Because of the ongoing partial government shutdown, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has suspended TSA PreCheck and Global Entry as of 6 AM ET.
What does that mean for you?
Even if you’re enrolled, those fast-track lanes may NOT be available right now. You could be routed through standard security screening until further notice.
Translation: the airport might feel a little… crowded. 😩
So let’s do what Y.O.G.O.L. does best — we move smart and we look out for each other.
👇 DROP A COMMENT if you’re at the airport today!
Tell us: ✈️ What airport are you flying out of?
⏳ How long are the security lines?
🔥 Is it chaotic or surprisingly smooth?
Your real-time update could save someone else from unnecessary stress (or from cutting it too close).
And if you have a flight coming up soon, give yourself an EXTRA 60–90 minutes. Don’t let a shutdown mess with your peace or your boarding group.
We only get one life — we’re not missing flights over preventable delays.

The Pivot is Real, but the Surprise is Better. 🥂

Look, the hotel had a little scheduling conflict, but we don’t sweat the small stuff, we just pivot with purpose. While we’re waiting for the new time to hit, I’m dropping the surprise I was saving for the Live.

I’m not doing this site inspection alone.

I’ve invited one of my very first clients Global Sistas to join me.
Why? Because they are officially my pickiest client. If you’ve seen their reviews in the past, you know they don't do "fluff." If it’s not 5-star, they’re going to say it.

I wanted to see if UNICO 20°105° could truly pass their vibe test. This is going to be interesting, to say the least! They’ll be giving their 100% honest opinion on:
Whether the service actually meets the high standards of our sisters.
If the "Soft Life" here is real or just marketing.
If this is a spot they’d actually spend their own coins on.
If you aren't following them yet, you need to, because the honesty is about to be top-tier.

Updated Details
Where: LIVE from UNICO 20°105°
When: February 19 | 11:30 AM EST
The Vibe: Real, raw, and totally unmasked.
"We don't just show you the brochure; we show you the truth."

🚨 STOP SCROLLING. This Is Mexico’s Soft-Life Coast Before Everybody Finds Out. 🚨

Y.O.G.O.L. familyyyyy 👀✈️🌴

Let me put you on to something before it turns into “remember when it used to be peaceful?”

If you’ve done Puerto Vallarta… cute. Love her. But just north of that is the glow-up nobody is talking about loud enough: Riviera Nayarit.

Travel + Leisure (shoutout to Carley Rojas Avila for the original feature 🙌🏾) just named it one of the best places to go in 2026, and I’m over here like… I BEEN telling y’all.

Now picture this:

You wake up. No alarm. Slide open the doors. Ocean air hits your face. Your private plunge pool is staring at you like, “You getting in or what?”

Golden beaches. Jungle-covered hills. Sunsets over Bahía de Banderas that make you question every life choice that kept you stressed.

This coast is luxury without noise. Nature without roughing it. Soft life with flavor.

Let’s talk experiences:

🐋 December-March? Humpback whales breaching right off the shore. Not SeaWorld. Real life.

🏄🏾‍♀️ Surf culture is strong out here, especially near Sayulita, whether you’re a beginner or trying to show off a little.

⛵ Boat out to the Islas Marietas for hidden beaches and snorkeling that looks Photoshopped but isn’t.

Now for my “I deserve luxury” crew…

• Rosewood Mandarina - Every single room has a plunge pool. Private. Elevated. Quiet money energy.
• Naviva, A Four Seasons Resort - 15 luxury tented suites tucked into untouched jungle. This is main character healing.
• W Punta de Mita - Bold, design-forward, and home to Chef Daniela Soto-Innes’ Rubra, where coastal Mexican cuisine is doing what it needs to do.

And let me add one more for my all-inclusive lovers who still want elevated:

•UNICO 20º 105º Hotel Riviera Nayarit Adults-only, modern, stylish, and rooted in local culture. Think handcrafted cocktails, regional cuisine, spa rituals inspired by Mexican traditions, and that “everything is handled” energy… without feeling cookie-cutter.

Now listen.

This is NOT Cancun chaos. This is NOT Cabo turn-up-until-3AM. This is intentional travel.

Morning swims. Afternoon ceviche. Sunset sail. Maybe a little mezcal tasting. Maybe a hammock and absolutely zero responsibilities.

And here’s what I love most, even with new flights and smoother highways, it still feels like you discovered something. It hasn’t lost its soul.

That’s the sweet spot.

And you already know…
Y.O.G.O.L. Travel doesn’t just “go.”
We curate.
We breathe.
We explore like we belong there.

So tell me, can you see yourself here? Because I can see you here.

And we might just be planning something. 👀🌊✨

Déjate envolver por la magia de un atardecer dorado y el lujo frente al mar. Imagina la tarde perfecta: burbujas, champagne y una cálida luz dorada, solo para ustedes dos. Haz que cada momento sea inolvidable.
