The World is a Vampire

Hey friend, So, The world is a vampire… know the song? It's been stuck in my head all week while watching the chaos unfold at airports. If you know it, hit reply and tell me. I’ll be seriously impressed. Anyway, with the government shutdown in full swing (for now), TSA has cut back on staffing. That means 1 in 10 flights are being impacted. Even if the shutdown ends soon, it’s gonna take time to bounce back. If you’re flying soon, here’s what to do if your plans get derailed: 1. Know Your Coverage 👉 Here’s how to choose the right travel insurance. 2. Save Your Sanity with These Tips
Travel may feel a little messy right now, but being prepared makes all the difference. You’ve got this. Talk soon, P.S. Don’t leave me hanging. Reply if you know the song. Or just tell me your favorite “ugh, airport” moment. I’ll be reading every one. Travel on! Tonya

Sorry about that.) Fast forward. In 2025 I traveled every month again, but it felt completely different. Some big trips, some small weekend trips....
Hi friend, If you are staring at your cart thinking, My teen does not need more stuff, you are not alone. When our kids get older, the gifts they remember most are the trips, the experiences, and the moments that feel different from every other day of the year. Not the sweater that went to the back of the closet on December 26. So this year, consider swapping a few “things” for an experience gift that turns into a future trip together. And the best part. None of these ideas needs to be...
Hey friend, If you’re craving a little extra family connection this holiday break, something easy, low-pressure, and actually fun for teens, try making a travel vision board together. We’ve done this for years, and it’s become one of my favorite ways to slow down and dream with my kids. No planning. No budgets. Just everyone tossing ideas on the table and seeing what sparks joy. And honestly? Some of our best trips started this way. My daughter’s graduation trip to Crater Lake. A Costa Rica...
