"Travel promotes physical activity, such as walking, hiking, or cycling, which enhances cardiovascular health, muscle strength, and overall well-being. It could also foster social interaction, whether with locals or travel companions, which can improve mood, reduce feelings of loneliness, and enhance cognitive function."

Lulu Townshead told Newsweek that travelling makes her "feel so alive and young."

May the 4th Be With You … as seen in Attack of the Clones.
My family and I are huge movie buffs especially of Sci Fi and Fantasy. Visiting the real life locations of some of your favorite films and tv shows is a wonderful way to add meaningful memories.

Is skiing ⛷️ 🏂 cheaper in Colorado 🇺🇸 or Italy 🇮🇹 ? Watch the video to find out!

Wait, an Italian Christmas ski trip sounds too lavish, right? Imagine my surprise when I discovered that we might have nicer hotels, conditions, phenomenal food and no crowds for so much less. Last Christmas our family and friends ✈️ to Italy 🇮🇹 to find out!

Anyone who considers themselves a foodie should definitely add a stop in Bologna. We had planned to visit on a previous trip but it was crossed off at the last minute, what a mistake !!
****See picture descriptions for tour highlights.

We always eat very well in Italy but Bologna is now our top choice. Highly recommended a food tour; which will include some history of the city, region, and local culinary. We had a wonderful guide, 4 food stops including 2 short sit down meals, 12 different dishes, including wine, espresso and dessert. We also had reserved space bypassing the lines and reservation requirements. All for the per person price of a nice meal.

Bologna is also a more affordable destination, often skipped. Hotels and food prices allow your vacation budget to stretch a bit.

Tip: Eat a very very light breakfast before embarking on this 3 hour cuilnary experience. Dinner may not be necessary, but always make room for gelato 🍨.

Just returned from Royal Carribeans private resort in Haiti. Normally we like to get out and experience the local culture but because of the safety risks in Haiti this peninsula is walled off. They do have a small market area with some local arts and crafts. In love this with carved globe with the countries written in French. The few locals we met were very friendly. I hope one day the country becomes more stable so more of it can be explored and so that the citizens can benefit from tourism dollars. We travel to relax, experience new things, recharge, and reset but also remember tourism employs approximately 10% of the world.

For anyone planning on visiting the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, or Florida this summer.
"The blob is currently pushing west and will pass through the Caribbean and up into the Gulf of Mexico during the summer, with the seaweed expected to become prevalent on beaches in Florida around July"

A sprawling mat of seaweed called sargassum is headed for the shores of Florida and other coastlines in the Gulf of Mexico, threatening to dump smelly clumps of the algae on beaches.

Just a reminder if you're traveling this summer and need to renew your passport, submit it as soon as possible. Wait times are already increasing.

Passports are currently taking eight to 11 weeks for routine service and five to seven weeks for expedited service, which costs an extra $60. The State Department warned the estimates only include processing time and do not include mailing time, which may add several more weeks.
