Travel tip: I used this Convertible Garment/Duffle Bag on the trip, and it was a game-changer! It keeps clothes wrinkle-free and fits easily in overhead compartments. Highly recommend for frequent travelers: https://amzn.to/40ZUl2U

✈️ Travel Alert: REAL ID Deadline is Coming! Don’t Get Left Behind! ⏰

Hey there travel friends ,

We’ve got some important travel news you don’t want to ignore! Starting May 7, 2025, the TSA will require a REAL ID (or another approved ID like a passport) for all domestic flights within the U.S. 🇺🇸

⸻

What’s a REAL ID?
It’s a special version of your state-issued driver’s license or ID card with a star at the top.
Without it, you won’t be able to board domestic flights—even for quick weekend getaways!

⸻

What You’ll Need to Get One:
Visit your local DMV with:
• ✅ Proof of full legal name & birthdate
• ✅ Social Security number
• ✅ Two proofs of Arkansas residency
• ✅ Proof of legal presence in the U.S.

More details here: Arkansas REAL ID Info

⸻

No REAL ID? No Flight!
If you show up at the airport without a REAL ID or approved alternative (like a passport), you’ll be turned away at security.
No beach. No ski trip. No grandma’s house. Sad day.
Let’s avoid that!

⸻

Don’t Want a REAL ID?
Totally okay! Just make sure you carry one of these when you fly:
• 🛂 Valid U.S. Passport or Passport Card
• 💳 Global Entry, NEXUS, or other Trusted Traveler cards
• 🎖️ U.S. Military ID
• 🟩 Green Card

Full list here: tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/identification

⸻

Your Next Steps:
1. ✍️ Make an appointment at the DMV
2. 📄 Gather your documents
3. ⭐ Get that gold star on your ID
4. ✈️ Keep your travel dreams alive!

Let’s get REAL… don’t wait until it’s too late!

Ah, Valentine’s Day. That magical time when love is in the air, flowers are marked up 300%, and the real MVPs are those of us who remembered to book our clients’ romantic getaways before today.

For those celebrating with a special someone—cheers to you! May your dinner reservations be honored, and may your significant other pretend to love whatever last-minute gift you grabbed. And for my single friends—congratulations, tomorrow is half-price chocolate day. Who’s really winning here?

Meanwhile, here in Arkansas, the weather is still in full-on “why do I live here?” mode. My flip-flops are gathering dust, and my shorts feel like an old vacation fling I barely remember. But you know what? This cold just reinforces the fact that travel is always the right answer.

So, to all my fellow travelers out there—whether you’re booking honeymoons, anniversary getaways, or just needing to escape the madness—I am here for you. Because flowers wilt, chocolates get eaten, but a well-planned trip? That’s love that lasts.

Meanwhile …. ME: Counting the days until I’m back at sea…
