But it’s not always the easiest of things to get through the security and all the things that come along with flying these days. It can be a pain in the butt even. Today’s blog I am going to discuss the three different things you can do to speed up the security part of the airport.

THE WORLD IS OPENING BACK UP

Who is excited with me? I had a moment of euphoria when I read that the United Kingdom has decided to remove the testing policies and quarantine rules to enter if you were vaccinated. This is like music to my ears. They are also removing the mask mandate (except on public transports and such) which is also great news.

THE PERFECT VACATION

So, what creates the perfect vacation for my clients?

That’s what Expedia was created for. But if you want an authentic, off the beaten path experience, where people meet culture and immerse themselves in the destination, then you have found the right place to create a perfect vacation.

SIMPLY SCOTTSDALE

I have been craving a getaway as I haven’t travelled in the month of December yet. So, Richard and I are off to Scottsdale Arizona for a 3-day weekend.

ACTIVE ITALY TRIPS

This week I am at a virtual trade conference for Italy.  What does this mean?  It means that I meet with suppliers from Italy online on Zoom.  I learn about new properties, new suppliers, new destination management companies, and more.  Today, I had the pleasant experience of meeting with Dolomite Mountains.  This is a destination management company, and they work with travel advisors (like me) to curate amazing experiences in their “country”. I cannot wait to share some of these amazing ideas for active travelers or skiers!
