All I can is WOW.

Starting on September 1st, travellers going through European airports - will once again have to comply with the 100ml liquid rule for cabin bags.
Some airports had previously relaxed the rule limiting liquids to 100ml, including Paris-Orly and Paris-Charles de Gaulle, when new 3D scanners were introduced. These devices were intended to be capable of detecting the contents of hand luggage, differentiating from a harmless liquid and a possible explosive device. The hope was that the scanners would not only make travel safer, but also lead to shorter queues at the airport and less hassle for travellers. However, after months of testing, the European Commission decided that flaws in the devices necessitated a temporary return to the old rules for liquids.

Portland, Oregon. The latest in the trend to make airports themselves more pleasant.

The Oregon airport’s new terminal evokes the beauty and personality of the Pacific Northwest with more than 70 live trees, benches that look like river rocks—and the return of the famed PDX carpet. Here’s a first look.

If you travel a lot you know those numbers are underestimated.

In more than 40 years as a travel agent, I have never had questions about returning with a dog. Nevertheless, I'm sharing this because you never know who might need to know it. Besides, I like the term DogBot.

Starting August 1, 2024, new U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention rules go into effect for dogs entering or returning to the United States. Use CDC's DogBot tool to determine what rules apply depending on where they’ve been in the last 6 months and where they received their rabies vaccines (if required). Learn more at cdc.gov/dogtravel

Perhaps not correct to share this given the situation in much of the US and the world but BWAAHAAA

If I watch this 10 times, I may be able to do one of them!

Stunning statistics from IATA (the organization of virtually all the world's airlines). In May, domestic passenger demand was up 4.7%. International demand was up 14.6%. Both records for the time period. That, my friends, is the reason it's so hard to get a low price, or even a seat, on the flights you want.

Genius. But so sad that it is necessary.

South Africa is home to a large majority of the world's rhinos and as such is a hot spot for poaching driven by demand from Asia.

It grows.

Something about this place, this effort, speaks to me on a very elemental level. It's missing from so many tourist maps of the West because it is not a national park. You and I are not paying for it. It is financed exclusively by donations.

Summer Cultural Programs are in full swing at Crazy Horse Memorial®!

Didn’t get a chance to see Jessie Rencountre or Jasmine Pickner-Bell’s dance performances this week? Don’t worry, they’ll be back along with many other familiar favorites and new talents. Nearly 800 performances are planned for the summer with a variety of cultural and artistic expressions. There’s something new to experience every day at the Memorial!

For those of you who need to know or know someone who does.
Karisma Hotels & Resorts has become the first hotel collection to implement the Autism Passport in partnership with Autism Double-Checked (ADC). The Autism Passport serves as a tool for guests to convey information such as communication challenges, sensory sensitivities, special interests, emotional triggers and calming strategies to staff members. This document, accessible online, offers visitors a means to communicate their unique needs with Karisma hotels, as well as certified airlines and airports. As part of its Autism Double-Checked certification, Karisma staff members have completed ADC's comprehensive training courses to identify and manage challenges that guests with autism may face during their stay. Certified Karisma properties have also developed custom visitor guides highlighting resort-specific sensory information for neurodiverse guests. The Autism Passport increases the overall benefit of Karisma's existing autism programs, including the Autism Concierge, which provides tailored support through a dedicated contact listed in each resort's visitor guide. Karisma's certified autism-friendly properties include Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts locations in Riviera Maya and Punta Cana, Margaritaville Island Reserve properties in Cap Cana and Riviera Cancun, and Azul Beach Resort Riviera Cancun. Azul’s Negril, Jamaica, property and Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera Maya are currently in the process of getting certified, with planned completion by the end of 2024.
