🛫 Things to Do Before Your Next International Trip 🛫

1. Make Sure Your Passport is Valid
Be sure to double-check your passport expiration date. You'll need your document to be valid for at least six months beyond your arrival or departure date to or from an international destination. Fortunately, the State Department made renewing your passport easier by reopening its online portal: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports.html

2. Be Aware of Travel Advisories
Before you head out, visit the U.S. State Department's website to read the updated travel advisory for your destination. Understanding the latest guidance, places to avoid, and tips to ensure a safe trip is essential. Learn more here: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories.html

3. Enroll in STEP
Americans are encouraged to enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive critical information and alerts while traveling abroad. STEP also makes it easier for the nearest U.S. Embassy to contact you in an emergency such as a natural disaster, civil unrest, or family emergency. Get started here: https://step.state.gov

4. Let People Know About Your Plans
While not just crucial for international travel, it's always smart to let people know where you're heading before setting off on a big trip. Please be sure to set up an emergency contact as well.

5. Consider Travel Insurance
With a comprehensive travel insurance policy, you can protect your investment and ensure you have the right coverage and tools to overcome any unexpected hiccups on your trip. Contact me to learn more about the right coverage.

6. Work With a Travel Advisor
A trusted advisor can guide you toward the ideal destination, save you money and stress, and offer personalized support if something doesn't go as planned. Regardless of where you're traveling - I am here for you every step of the way!

My partner and I had a fantastic time as a late-birthday experience at the Smith Tower's Observatory Restaurant & Bar, located in the "Chinese Room" on the 35th floor. The 42-story Smith Tower was completed in 1914 and was the tallest building west of Ohio and Seattle's tallest for nearly fifty years. It was built by Lyman Smith of Smith-Corona and Smith and Wesson fame. There is also an observation deck that wraps 360 degrees around the building, with views of Downtown , , and on a good weather day!

Admission tickets are required to visit the Observatory Deck and Observatory Restaurant & Bar – we paid $44 for the pair. We opted only for drinks ranging from $15-25 and enjoyed them immensely. This is a unique experience whether you consider yourself a Seattle native or just visiting!
