Iceland - how to...

Here are two ways to do Iceland in 2025:

1. "Express" bare bones small-group 4-night trip with Reykjavik and the South Coast. Includes all sightseeing, breakfast 2 mornings, transportation throughout via private mini-bus, while staying in guest houses and small cottage farm stays. This tour is offered every other Thursday from May 1-October 3 with "on sale" prices starting at $1300/person + flights (and Iceland Air can get you there non-stop from BWI). The "on sale" rates are valid through next Monday 2/3.

2. "Business-class" style guided tour for 8 nights to circumnavigate this incredible island country. You'll see glaciers, fjords, hot springs, volcanoes, & waterfalls while enjoying the peaceful charm & culture. Includes 8 nights in 4* hotels, "extra legroom" motorcoach transportation throughout with full sightseeing itinerary (plus some choice optional excurions), breakfast daily & 5 dinners. Offered most weeks from May 11-August 31. Most dates are currently $6100/person + flights, including 10% early sale. The May 11 departure is $5100!

Contact me for more details and reservations if you also want to add Iceland to your 2025 (or 2026!) trip plans.

PSA Travel Announcement... ☎️☎️☎️✈️✈️✈️
If you are planning to travel at all in 2025 here are two new requirements expected to go into effect next year:

1. Domestic air travel will require the REAL ID Beginning May 7, 2025. You will need a state-issued REAL ID compliant license or identification card, or another acceptable form of ID (such as a U.S. Passport), to fly within the United States. Visit www.tsa.gov for a list of acceptable forms of ID and additional information regarding the REAL ID requirement.

2. Travelling to Europe? ETIAS credentials are expected to launch in the first half of the year. This is an electronic travel authorization that allows for US Passport holders (and others) to enter 30 countries in Europe for a short stay (typically up to 90 days). The process to apply hasn't yet been launched, but once it does it is recommended to apply right away if you have travel plans taking place after the required date (still TBD). There will be a nominal fee associated with the application. The countries in blue are those included (basically the bulk of Europe except the UK and most of the Balkan nations). Most of these countries are also part of the Schengen area.

Ever dream of cruising the along the rugged fjords & cliffs that are the Norwegian coast line? Hurtigruten is the way to go and they run cruises all year! So you can go in winter to have the chance to see the Northern Lights, festive weather (ie - snow!) and all the twinkling lights while sipping hot cocoa or hot berry juice. Or go in summer for continuous daylight, colorful coastal villages, and fun activities. Contact me for more details.

What will you be doing 6 months from now? Cleaning up the post-Christmas mess and getting reading to stay up late to watch the ball drop on TV for NYE?

Happy National Wine Day! There are plenty of local wine events not to mention wineries to visit (two of our faves are Fiore in Street MD and Barrel Oak Winery and Brewery and Brewery in N. VA).

But what about an amazing journey through the storied vineyards of Europe? On a relaxing river cruise that brings renowned sommeliers onto the ship for daily tastings, lectures, and general camaraderie? And excursions each day to vineyards, wineries, and other cultural, culinary, historic, and scenic sights?

Ama Waterways is offering several of these great trips next year including Flavors of Burgundy where you will explore this legendary wine region, Enchanting Rhine with a great combo of crisp & sweet wines & castles galore, or Romantic Danube with a melody to accompany you.

Next week: I'll be making a visit to Holland's famous Keukenhof Gardens outside Amsterdam! Open only a few weeks each year to showcase some 7 million spring-flowering bulbs, including tulips, daffodils, hyacinths (my personal fave), lilies, bluebells, crocuses, and countless others, this should definitely be on your must-do list.

I'll be spending the full day enjoying this famous garden as part of my river cruise from Brussels to Amsterdam. Similar itineraries are already available to reserve for 2025 such as the Viking Tulips & Windmills sailing which is offering special savings on cruise & flights with only $25 deposit needed, applicable when reserved through 4/30. https://www.vikingrivercruises.com/cruise-destinations/europe/tulips-windmills/2025-amsterdam-amsterdam/index.html
