My Tuesday travel tip:

Two gallon ziploc bags.

Perfect for wet bathing suits, liquor bottles, toiletries, powders, souvenirs and dirty shoes. Wrap your liquor bottles in dirty clothes then place in the middle of your checked bags among other items for secure travel.

Repeat after me: You need a Rondoval. You NEED a Rondoval.

I was JUST there and am going back in June - THAT’S how spectacular this place is!

The oh-so-coveted Rondovals at Sandals Royal Curaçao are a 7/7/7 feature this week, and this rate is holding steady for arrivals all thru October 2024 (read: dates on the graphic are flexible).

BONUS SAVINGS for that special couple who celebrate a September/October/November anniversary (that rate drops to just above $9K, y’all).

Savings like this fit in every stocking.

Wedding Wednesday.

Looking for a unique venue? Try a cenote. Cenotes are sacred and, according to ancient Mayan people, tell the story about reincarnation and the journey to paradise. Find out how to have yours at one.

Come see me tomorrow in Clear Lake. Book and deposit a new trip between tomorrow and October 15th, and tell me the code word (found in the comments) to score upgraded private transfers. Rules apply.
