Airport prices are CRAZY!! I just had a mixed drink (old fashion-my fav) and it was so good, so I ordered 2.
Big mistake, this normal-sized drink was $16.75!!!! I’m trying to think back, and I think this is the most expensive drink I ever had, it’s followed closely by the gin and tonic I gad at the Bentonville Arkansas airport that was $16!
I should have known, there were no prices on the menu!
Have you ever fallen for the “no prices” scam (😳)? Share in the comments.

Iceland is practically bubbling over with stunning hot springs that rival the Blue Lagoon. Here are some hidden (and semi-hidden) gems:
1. Mývatn Nature Baths
Located in North Iceland, this is often called the “Blue Lagoon of the North” but way more low-key. The milky blue water, surrounded by volcanic landscapes, is perfect for soaking and relaxing while dodging the crowds. Plus, the view?
2. Secret Lagoon (Gamla Laugin)
This one’s in Flúðir, about 90 minutes from Reykjavík, and it’s Iceland’s oldest pool. It’s not so “secret” anymore, but it still retains an authentic, no-frills vibe with natural bubbling springs and a super chill atmosphere.
3. Reykjadalur Hot River
Fancy a hike with your soak? Reykjadalur (“Steam Valley”) is just 45 minutes from Reykjavík. After a scenic hike through rolling hills and steaming geothermal vents, you’ll find a hot river to dip in. Bonus: it’s free!
4. Krauma Baths
Fed by Deildartunguhver, Europe’s most powerful hot spring, Krauma blends modern spa vibes with pure Icelandic nature. Relax in cozy geothermal baths with a mountain view that screams Instagram-worthy.
5. Vök Baths
Found near Egilsstaðir in East Iceland, these floating geothermal pools on Lake Urriðavatn are as sleek as they are serene. The design blends into the natural environment, making you feel like you’re soaking in luxury.
6. Húsafell Canyon Baths
This eco-conscious retreat is located in a secluded canyon and feels worlds away from civilization. You’ll soak with views of untouched nature, making it worth the trek.
7. Hrunalaug
A true gem hidden in the countryside near Flúðir, this rustic hot spring is small and charming, with a dreamy little stone shelter to keep it cozy.

Starting the first of 2025 Americans Canadians and citizens of 30 other countries that currently do not need a visa to travel to Europe will have to fill out a form and have an electronic visa before they arrive in Europe!
When you fill out the form you’ll have to put in the first country you plan to visit. They suggest you don’t book it yet because you may be denied a visa.
Be careful and make sure you go to the official website, not a third-party website and then handover all of your personal information .
Comment the word “visa” and I will send you the official website and the questions on the form. This is a sample, not the real form…don’t fill it out🙂
After you fill out the form, you should know within a few minutes if you’ve been approved it may take up to 96 hours to find out if you’re approved or not.
If you aren’t approved, they may invite you to come to an in person meeting to discuss your history and see if they will allow you to get the visa .
Let me know if you have any more questions!

Ladies when you’re traveling to Paris France, watch out for this scam!!!
It’s called the “turkey drop”! Ana’s it’s not the dangly thing under your chin!
Here’s how this scam goes, someone finds a fabulous gold ring that has been dropped and they ask if it is yours.
Ladies, here’s my advice, just keep walking don’t stop, don’t slow down, don’t even give them eye contact.
The least that can happen is they will try to sell you the cheap, fake gold ring or item that was found .
In the worst case, they’re going to pick your pocket or accuse you of stealing the wallet or the money. This is when they will try to extort money out of you or perhaps even grab your billfold if you take it out of your purse !!!
This scam actually happened to me in Paris, near the Eiffel Tower. My boots were made for walking, so I kept going!!!
Let me know if you’ve seen this scam or another one!

Here’s the news on Real ID:
Starting May 7, 2025, your standard driver’s license won’t cut it for domestic flights anymore unless it’s Real ID-compliant. Look for a little star in the upper corner—that’s your ticket to TSA-approved travel.
If you don’t have a star, you’ll need a passport, military ID, or another TSA-approved option to get through security.
Real ID licenses come with extra paperwork and often a DMV visit, so plan ahead!
Without Real ID or an acceptable alternative, there’s no “alternative verification” plan, so no ID, no flight.
Comment “real” to get the details and the link to search your state specific information.
The real ID deadline is coming if you plan to fly domestically in the US after May 7, 2025, you’ll have to have this ID or use a valid passport. 🇺🇸
The real ID is basically a drivers license or an ID from the DMV that shows that you’ve had a more background check. Google to see if your state is offering a real ID as part of a normal drivers license. A few of them are, but some of them are not.
if your state doesn’t have this, and you don’t plan to get a passport, you’ll need to have a real ID to fly to the DMV with your passport. If you have it birth certificate, Social Security card and a piece of mail that shows your proof of residency something like a utility bill . 🪪
Don’t wait till the last minute you don’t wanna be caught without a real ID if you love to travel! 💙

If you’ve been planning a trip and you’re looking at the tours, you can take I know you found all the “skip the line” tours.
I just found 25 of them for a tour of the Vatican next spring !
How can every tour be skip the line?
Wouldn’t it be better if they just set a certain time and that’s what we actually took the tour ?
Let me know your thoughts on the line scheme.

It’s where your expertise, opinions, and creativity get to shine. But one day, you look at that follower count and think, “I could do more with this…”

Been there. Building an engaged audience can feel like yelling into the void. But trust me, you’re not alone in the hustle.
