It's freezing outside,so we were dreaming about the beach and booked a trip to Barbados to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary!! I cannot wait to check out Sandals Royal Barbados!!! I love to travel to make memories and be my best for you all!!

Today I booked last minute vacations, graduation celebrations, and an anniversary trip. Planning now gives you something to look forward to!! Where do want to go next?

An exhilarating day at the beach in Barbados awaits you along the Dover beach coastline. Take a stroll and let the soft white sand caress your feet or take a dip in to blue waters. Which would you rather?

Travel tip Tuesday

Do you travel often and love to save time?

If you travel internationally 2+ times a year- I recommend global entry (also includes tsa precheck). If you travel via air more then 1x a year I recommend tsa precheck to speed your airport security experience.

See link below for info:

This is the official U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) website where international travelers can apply for Trusted Traveler Programs (TTP) to expedite admittance into the United States (for pre-approved, low-risk travelers).

29/03/2023

Passport book processing has been delayed in recent months due to the surge in applicants. Check your passport expiration now and plan accordingly.

1. Plan ahead and apply for your passport 4+ months in advance to avoid the stress of waiting on last minute arrival. When possible, I recommend applying 6+ months before travel in case there are issues with your application.
2. Pay to expedite if needed.
3. Call me if you have a vacation booked with me and you do not have your passport in hand four weeks prior to your vacation so I can help!

**passport cards do NOT work for international travel
** check your travel country’s entry requirement as many require passports to be valid for 6 months past your travel date

We expect 2023 to be our busiest summer travel season on record. Learn more about how you can plan ahead.
