Remember when Las Vegas was a great inexpensive getaway? Parking & resort fees have soared and visitor numbers are falling.

To me, the armrests are not wide enough especially if you end up in a middle seat.

Airlines continue to dream up new ways to maximize profits, and always at the expense of passenger comfort. Seats seem to shrink by a sliver of an inch ev

FYI. Good to have insurance whether you are traveling stateside or out of the country. You just never know but having that extra layer of security protects your investment. It's best to purchase insurance at the time of booking and be sure to read over the policy and understand what you are covered for.

From creating web pages to staffing up, travel insurance companies are trying to deal with record numbers that could delay your clients’ claims.

Travel Insurance is something that I ALWAYS recommend because you never know. It is best to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it!

Hurricane Irma is a cautionary tale to not wait too long to book travel insurance.

It will take some for some of these areas to resume all of their services but keep in mind TOURISM plays a HUGE part for all of these islands. I will keep you posted!

Government and tourism organizations dedicate resources to impacted areas from Irma's devastation.

Something to think about.

“Do I need this triple shot of espresso before boarding a redeye?" "What do I need from Boots at Heathrow?" "I’m out of shampoo right? And body lotion?" "Ohhh, well. I could always use another wallet and I do have these euros leftover…”

Don't be surprised if these countries ban Americans from entering into their country. This to me is like banning travel to Missouri because of what happen in Ferguson. Not everyone in these so called "banned" countries are terrorist but there are being penalized anyway. This is sad!!

Be aware of "hidden" fees when looking for "cheap" fares!

Check this cruise tags out!

It is SO easy to fold and slide in your cruise luggage tags. With thousands of luggage being manhandled and thrown around, you need these to ensure your tags don't fall off your luggage and you don't end up losing your luggage!!!

Lot of restrictions and not for every traveler.

‘It is the responsibility of the travel agent or ticket provider to properly disclose the conditions of a Basic Economy fare to the traveler.’

I like the idea of cutting back on checked bag fees. Why can't the first checked bag be free?

As DHS asks for traveler patience, two senators call out the airlines, saying checked baggage fees are to blame.

The State of Missouri has a year to comply.

Yes, Virginia, with step one of Real ID enforcement having begun Feb. 1, and a tough new administration in Washington, it may just be possible that your driver’s license will not be accepted for air travel a year from now.

FYI.

Heads up to the lucky travelers who often are allowed into the TSA Pre-Check aisle without having to pay for it: TSA says the odds of getting a free upgrade are getting slimmer. And this time they might just mean it.

River cruising has increased in popularity over the past 4-yeas. If you don't like the larger cruise ships, river cruising is a good option.
