Great reminders for those flying out of ABI!
🎄✈️ Happy Holidays from ABI! ✈️🎄
As you take off to celebrate with loved ones, here are a few quick travel tips to help you navigate the season with ease:
1️⃣ Arrive 90 minutes early for a smooth check-in & security process.
2️⃣ Download the AA.com app & enable notifications to stay up-to-date on your flight!
3️⃣ Be mindful of TSA regulations—remember, no fi****ms on your person or in your carry-on (check fi****ms in unloaded & in a hard-side container), use the 3-1-1 rule for liquids, remove electronics from carry-ons for screening, & try to save the gift wrapping for after your travel. 🎁
Safe travels & enjoy the time spent with those who matter most! 💙

✈️ Heads up for UK-bound travelers in 2025!
Starting January 8, 2025, all travelers to the UK must complete an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA)—think of it as a quick, electronic visa.
Key Details:
🔗 Official Site: Apply for an ETA here (avoid third-party sites that charge extra!): https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-for-an-electronic-travel-authorisation-eta
💷 Cost: £10 GBP ($12 USD).
⏳ Validity: 2 years or until the attached passport expires.
📋 Pro Tip: Travelers must apply before boarding flights, though approval isn't strictly required pre-flight—airlines may enforce this, so better safe than sorry.
Insider Hack:
📱If using the mobile app, US travelers should scan the inside of the back cover of their passport (not the front) to read the NFC chip. Hold your phone steady on the last page, and you're set!
Fast & Easy:
✅ You can complete the process in minutes. Approval often comes back quickly—it can take under 5 minutes!
Coming Soon:
⚠️ Schengen countries will introduce their own ETA system (ETIAS) later in 2025—more updates to come!.
Now that Thanksgiving is over and I am finishing off the last of pumpkin pie...which one are you?

National Christmas Lights Day today. Do you have your lights and tree up?
Admittedly we put our Christmas lights up before Halloween.
But I love having our tree up in our living room. Immediately gets me in the Christmas mood.

✨ Honoring all the Heroes on Veteran's Day ✨
Today, I want to take a moment to honor not only all the brave men and women who have served our country but also my husband. With over 17 years of dedicated service, his unwavering commitment and sacrifice have been a true testament to courage and resilience. 🙌❤️
His journey in the military has shaped him into a remarkable leader and has been a source of immense pride and inspiration for our family. His strength and unwavering support continue to inspire me every day.
On this Veteran's Day, I am grateful for his service and the sacrifices he has made to protect our freedoms. To my husband and all veterans, thank you for your incredible service and for making the world a safer place. We are forever grateful.

Cruising the Caribbean with a stop in the Dominican Republic in Puerto Plata.
This time it was all local experiences including some beach time.
This isn't my first time to this port and won't be my last. With so many active options available and a really nice port area with a lazy river, this is a great stop.

When I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 33, I was forced to look at life through a new perspective. This startling reality coupled with the fact that I knew I wanted to spend my days — however many there would be — doing what I loved inspired me to start my own business. During the year that I was receiving treatment for my cancer, I launched my own travel agency.
Now, I have the opportunity to work with my clients to create personalized itineraries. My work brings me joy, and therefore it never feels like a chore. As a travel agent, I specialize in booking:
Customized European Tours — Having lived abroad in Germany and Spain, I am more familiar with this continent than most travel agents. I specialize in creating customized European tours based on the individual traveler's special interests. For example, I once booked a trip to Switzerland that focused on cheese, chocolates and mountains.
Romance Travel — There's nothing more romantic than spending uninterrupted time with the person you love the most. I am certified in booking both destination weddings and honeymoons, and I also love to create personalized getaways for milestone celebrations.
I know that time spent traveling is precious to all types of travelers, but I have a special place in my heart for military families who are traveling and cancer survivors who want to go abroad. These people, more than many, understand that time is elusive, and they never know just how much time they have with the people they love the most. I enjoy going the extra mile to make sure that their vacations are nothing less than amazing.
Your journey abroad should never truly end. Allow me to help you find the best path for you on your own endless route. Contact me today to get started.
