Steele Away Vacations

05/28/2026

If you’ve seen the headlines about possible international restrictions at major U.S. airports, here’s what travelers need to know:

There are currently no bans on international travel from major “blue state” airports such as in LAX, NYC, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco and more. TSA and customs are still processing travelers.

While reports say the Trump administration is discussing possible changes involving removing customs and immigration processing at some blue state airports, nothing has been implemented yet.

Don’t panic-book or cancel trips based on headlines. Policies can change quickly and will face legal challenges. A travel advisor can help you stay informed if disruptions occur with your international air travel.

I will continue monitoring updates so my clients get accurate information.

Some wonderful pics from the Amalfi Coast my client took. They stayed right in Sorrento for 5 days while taking boat excursions to see the amazing landscapes and other towns in the area. 🇮🇹

Now why was this program gutted in the US when the cruise ships themselves pay for it?

Major cuts to the CDC program that investigates outbreaks on cruise ships may leave the department vulnerable as the deadly Hantavirus outbreak continues.

Today was the last day in Mexico for my bride and groom and wrapped up my second destination wedding of 2026.

The resort venue this time was in Playa Mujeres at Dreams (for families) and Secrets (adults only). Feedback from one guest described it as the "best all inclusive I have ever stayed at". They also enjoyed boat trips to Isla Mujeres and golf at the beautiful 18 hole attached course with free greens fees.

My client's are enjoying their swim out suite at the all inclusive Hideaway at Royalton Punta Cana, in the Dominican Republic. They live across the state from each other, but every year get together in January for an epic trip to someplace warm and tropical!🐠🌴☀️
