I read the most interesting post this week. It said if you blow just $27 a day you could have saved $10,000 that year. I couldn’t believe it.
I opened up my phone calculator and did the math. It’s $27.39 to be exact.
How easy is it to blow through $27 a day? My hair stylist and I had a long conversation about it during my recent cut/color.

If you’ve traveled in 2021 or watched any travel news, you know the airlines have been suffering from a crippling lack of flight crew staff.

Last week I attended some upper level meetings with dignitaries and company CEO’s from all across the world. There was one constant refrain: It’s not our fault, it’s because of COVID. We are doing the best we can.
I’ve had several customers say to me over the past few weeks that they are sick and tired of hearing “it’s because of COVID”. But here’s the thing. . .

I bet you’ve been wondering what our next big group event is going to be. When it’s going to be announced, and where we’re going to be going.
Just to recap, our current privately escorted tours that have openings are:

Have you ever tried to plan something, thinking you had plenty of time, only to find it sold out? I’ve had it happen to me many times, for restaurants, movie tickets, and events. I am betting you have as well. But none of us has had it happen in travel the way it’s happening right now. It’s astounding.
