Tool to help customize your travel

Hello Reader, Travel Planning Tools!I having a bit of fun over here so I just had to share. This is the online tool that I'm geeking out over now that helps make travel planning easier! Google Maps has integrated a new AI feature that supports a more question-driven type of searching. For example, I opened up Google Maps, and instead of a specific spot, I typed "Places with World War II history in London" and voila, faster than a toupee in a hurricane, I got over 20 results to consider and gear my itinerary to the desires of my group. Couple that with the "near me" feature and you cannot only find locations tailored to your desires, but you also can find high-quality dining options near each of your destinations. For example, I've narrowed down my choice to Winston Churchill War Rooms and just an 8-minute walk away is the highly-rated Waterloo Sky Bar. It's getting easier and easier to get out there in a unique and customizable way that is limited only by your inspiration and imagination. So let's renew that passport! Nerd Wallet has an easy-to-follow step-by-step guide to help you get this done. And our article on TSA vs. Global Entry can help you decide which of these perks is best for you. Enjoy these resources and let's get to planning the next adventure! Until next time fellow travelers, |

Hello Reader, In 2020 I started travel blogging. Yeah, I know. Great timing. But something about writing about travel made my heart feel better. Remembering/documenting our travels during a time when we thought we couldn't helped me cope. I remember thinking at the time, sitting in front of our new "work from home" computer setup, that it was ironic. After moving so much as a kid, always a new place, always the new girl, and always a source of extreme discomfort, discovering I wasn't...
Hello Reader, If Las Vegas is a city that has skipped your bucket list thus far then my god woman, what are you waiting for?!? I am a fan and not for anything other than the fact that you could live there for 50 years and never need to do, see, or eat the same thing twice. If you are shaking your head and backing away from me slowly let me ask you something, are you thinking stale smoke hanging over casino floors, reservations made months in advance for trendy food choices in trendy settings,...
