A timely reminder for upcoming April vacation travelers…

We’ve been getting a lot of questions about when border agents can legally conduct searches of travelers’ electronic devices at international airports and other ports of entry. Unfortunately, the answer isn’t simple.

The third season of HBO’s hit series White Lotus takes place in breathtaking Thailand. Whether you want to see where the series was filmed and the incredible scenes took place, or simply create your own White Lotus-inspired trip, get ready to be inspired!

1) Koh Samui: The White Lotus resorts are known for their beautiful architecture and breathtaking views so there was no better place to film the third season than Koh Samui, an island off the east coast of the country and its second largest. In addition to endless beaches and a backdrop of mountains everywhere you look, the island boasts incredible nightlife and enticing culture.

2) Bangkok: The city’s juxtaposition of ancient, mystical, ultra-modern, and innovative makes it unforgettable for everyone who chooses to visit. Often the first stop on your Thailand adventure, it's well worth a visit for its melting pot of cultures, historical sites, and world-renowned food scene.

3) Phuket: The secondary filming location of the series is the island of Phuket. Thailand’s largest island is home to a number of natural phenomena, cultural activities, and nightlife venues. Foodies and adventurers will delight in the many options in the food stalls lining the old town street markets. The greenery enveloping the towns ensures endless hikes. Its tin-mining and colonial history are also visible at every turn through various architectural styles and monuments.

Wow, just wow…. I’ve got a news alert for you:
HUGE changes are coming for Southwest Airlines. And not for the better in my opinion. 😱😰🤬
Starting with flights purchased on/after May 28, a checked bag is free ONLY for business fare, A-List members, and Rapid Rewards credit-cardholders. And there is very short expiration period, compared to no time limit now, to use flight credits if you have to cancel a flight. This is going to be a big shift when (IF?) considering a flight on Southwest.

Positive feedback is a great way to start the year!!! :-)

(CLIENT) submitted feedback on the itinerary: New Years in Japan= “Thanks for everything. All of your work made the trip so much easier. We couldn’t have done it without you! (And a very big thank you for changing our flights coming home—all of the other flights were delayed except the ones we were on :)”

Air travel is often challenging and flight support while traveling is only one of the perks with Treehouse Travel.

The cathedral's bright, cream-colored limestone walls look brand new, cleaned not only of dust from the fire but also of grime that had accumulated for centuries.

I was invited to a ship tour and lunch onboard the Norwegian Jade this past Thursday. It’s a nice mid-sized ship that was refurbished in 2022. There is a variety of entertainment & activity options, restaurants with open “freestyle” seating, and a fun casual atmosphere.

What does your use of emojis say about you? This quiz says I’m mostly a hip millennial (with my use of emojis) which is quite inaccurate, especially if you ask my kids 🤣🤪😊

A nice review of Treehouse Travel from clients who traveled to Italy for a fabulous honeymoon.... :-)

As first time travelers to Europe, we were a little nervous about how everything would go. Debbie scheduled everything and laid it out so easy to understand and follow. It took away all of the uncertainty and allowed us to just focus on having a great time! I would highly recommend Debbie and Treehouse Travel to anyone looking to have a low stress, easy vacation.
