🌄 Cruising to Alaska with Princess: A Front-Row Seat to Nature’s Masterpiece

If you’ve ever dreamed of watching glaciers calve into icy waters or spotting bald eagles from your balcony, a Princess Cruise to Alaska might be the closest thing to a National Geographic special, except you’re in it. Princess Cruises has long been the gold standard for Alaskan voyages, and their itineraries are no exception. Travelers can choose from classic 7-day Inside Passage routes to immersive 14-day Glacier Bay adventures. The real magic? Princess is one of the few cruise lines authorized to sail through Glacier Bay National Park, with park rangers onboard offering live commentary. Beyond the ship, Princess offers exclusive wilderness lodges near Denali, Kenai, and Wrangell-St. Elias National Parks. Their cruisetours combine rail travel, lodge stays, and guided excursions which is ideal for those who want to go deeper into Alaska’s rugged interior. Whether you’re kayaking past icebergs, hiking through bear country, or sipping hot cocoa while watching the Northern Lights from deck, Princess makes Alaska feel both wild and welcoming. 🛳️ Tip: Book early for Glacier Bay sailings since they fill fast. And if you’re traveling with kids, look for itineraries featuring Puppies in the Piazza and Junior Ranger programs. 🧳 Time to Book Your Princess Cruise?

Cancun Travel Tip: Don’t Forget the Visitor Tax

💸 Cancun Travel Tip: Don’t Forget the Visitor Tax

If you're heading to Cancun or anywhere in Quintana Roo (including Playa del Carmen, Tulum, or Cozumel), be prepared to pay the mandatory Visitax, a tourism fee of approximately $14 USD per person. It applies to all foreign visitors over age 4 and must be paid before leaving the state.

• Pay online at Visitax.gob.mx to avoid airport delays
• Keep your QR code handy for airport security
• Avoid unofficial payment sites to dodge scams and extra fees

This small fee helps fund local tourism infrastructure and services. So while it’s not the most exciting part of your trip, it’s part of keeping paradise running smoothly

TSA Ends Mandatory Shoe Removal at U.S. Airports

TSA Ends Mandatory Shoe Removal at U.S. Airports Effective immediately, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has officially retired its long-standing “shoes-off” policy at airport security checkpoints. Passengers traveling through domestic airports can now keep their shoes on during screening, unless flagged for additional inspection. Thanks to advanced body scanners and CT imaging technology, TSA can now detect threats without requiring footwear removal. What You Need to Know: You can keep your shoes on at TSA checkpoints. If you trigger an alarm or are selected for secondary screening, shoe removal may still be required. Expect shorter wait times and smoother screening, especially helpful for families and older travelers. For full details, visit the official TSA announcement.
