Attention ALL Disney lovers! Disneyland (yes, the one in California) has opened up its 2025 packages to us.

If you have not been to the park that Walt Disney built himself, you simply must go & here are a few reasons why:

- Smaller size parks make it more manageable for those with littles or who need less walking
- Different rides & overall feel of the parks
- Southern California weather, need I say more?
- Two to three days is all you need to see it all!

Back in June, I explored one of the new Brightline train options from Orlando to Fort Lauderdale. As I watched the sunrise while I sipped my coffee, I thought “this is the way to travel.”

Have you ever traveled on a train? If more routes open across the USA, would you be more likely to consider train travel?

Americans are taking advantage of expanded rail service across the country, with ridership rising at Amtrak and smaller regional services.

For all of my fellow Southwest lovers…
What do we think? 😃🫠😭

Southwest Airlines is shifting to assigned seats for the first time in its history, a change that will allow the low-fare carrier to charge a premium for some of the seats on its planes.

Oceans take you to other countries,

My must-have packing essentials are comfy shoes, a good portable charger and my collapsible bag.
