🌴✨ Out of Office for a Girls' Getaway! ✨🌴

Hey, travel lovers! Just a heads-up—I’ll be out of the office from October 19-26, 2024 as I lead a fabulous group of gals on our annual Carey-ed Away Crew escape! 💃☀️🌊

This year, we are heading to Majestic Mirage in beautiful Punta Cana, Dominican Republic!

We’re talking sun, sand, and some much-needed girl time! 👯‍♀️✈️ Whether it's sipping cocktails by the beach or dancing the night away, girls' trips are all about connection, laughter, and recharging those batteries. There’s nothing quite like bonding with your besties in paradise—it’s a chance to relax, let loose, and come back refreshed.

The benefits of girls’ trips?
✨ Strengthening friendships
✨ Stress relief
✨ Making lifelong memories
✨ Adventure with a side of relaxation

I’ll be back soon to help YOU plan your own dreamy escapes! Stay tuned for some Punta Cana pics! 🌸

This time, it’s my turn! My daughter and I will be heading to Ireland 🇮🇪 on Memorial Day for a cross country road trip followed by a few days in Iceland by taking advantage of their free stopover program.

I’m looking forward to visiting these beautiful countries in the summer months. I last visited Ireland in Jan 2019 and Iceland in February 2023.

Did you know many airlines allow you to book a “stopover”? Airline stopover programs let you extend your layover in a city for up to a few days without extra airfare. It's like getting a mini-vacation included in your trip, enabling you to explore another destination on your way to or from your final destination.

More Important Travel News!

The UK Government has announced the next phase in the roll out of the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA). An ETA gives visitors permission to travel to the UK. By April 2025, all visitors who do not need a visa will require an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) to travel to the UK.

An ETA for American visitors will be required to enter the UK starting January 8th, 2025. Americans can apply in advance starting November 27, 2024.

The ETA will be linked to the traveller's passport and will last for two years or until the traveller's passport expires – whichever comes first.

Dates and Requirements:
- Eligible non-Europeans can apply in advance from November 27, 2024 and will need an ETA to travel from 8 January 2025.
- Eligible Europeans can apply from March 5, 2025 and will need an ETA to travel from 2 April 2025.

Costs:
An ETA costs £10 and permits multiple journeys to the UK for stays of up to six months at a time over two years or until the holder’s passport expires.
