How do you pack for your trips? Do you take the clothes and throw them in your suitcase, roll everything up, or use packing cubes? How many pairs of shoes - always the important question - do you try just a carry on, or do you check a bag? Here's a packing list to get your summer travel started!

22/12/2021

If you are renewing or getting a new passport, prices go up next week! There's still a couple of days if you can get it done!

The State Department announced Monday that it would increase fees for passport books by $20 for all customers.

This is going on in Paris right now! The last project designed by the late Christo and his wife Jeanne-Marie. If you hurry, you can see it, but the installation is only there until October 3. In the meantime, where are you ready to go?

Going through some old papers, and found a folder with frequent flyer and hotel honors programs. Went through them, a couple of the programs aren't around anymore, but I still have miles with Jet Blue! I also found this packing aide - next time you travel, why don't you try this packing list, and let me help you book your perfect getaway?

Travel hesitancy...
As more and more people get, thoughts are turning to traveling. Some folks actually never stopped traveling - resorts and hotels in Mexico and the Caribbean stayed open, using COVID testing during, the worst of the pandemic. But now, we are ready to hunt out those suitcases, put liquids in those little bottles and get onto a plane - masked, of course!

When it the right time to plan a vacation? NOW! Even if the vacation spot of your choice is not open to those traveling with US passports, 2022 is just around the corner in the travel world. It is not too early to check out smaller cruise companies, some of the larger ones, the vacation resorts and hotels.

Why plan now? Well, why not? You can secure a (state) room, lock in the best price while prices are good and some places are giving discounts to get their regulars back. Think about it, prices will start going up soon...

This gives you the most time to pay for your trip - there are programs that allow you to pay
as you go, or you can save up a deposit.

Europe isn't open now...that is true, but don't you want to have a plan in place when it opens? Be at the front of the pack, instead of trying to hunt for that perfect spot and hope that your dates are available. When you make your plans, be sure to confirm that you can reschedule if needed, or that you can cancel with a full refund.

I have lots of ideas for places to travel, so make sure that you do not get left out of the 2022 travel craze. Ocean or river cruise? Group travel? Family fun in Mexico or the Caribbean? A romantic getaway? Where can I help you go next year?

Check out this blog post on the Calanques

One of the most impressive sights on the Riviera, Provence and Paris tour is seeing the Calanques of Cassis.  These wonderful and unique geological formations are made of limestone or granite.  They create deep, narrow gorges that go down into the sea, which reminds many of Norwegian fjords.
