There's nothing like putting a pause on your mail, prearranging a ride to the airport, and packing at the last minute before a trip. Extremely nerve-wracking to say the least...⁣⠀
⁣⠀
But here's one thing you should always make sure you do before you board a plane or take a road trip. ⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Call your bank or credit card company and inform them of your travels. If you have online banking, you can easily set up a travel plan within seconds.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Many financial institutions monitor your spending habits and may interrupt attempted transactions in the event your purchase is outside of the usual geographical area.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
In addition, you should also keep handy (stored in your phone) a direct number to your bank in the event your card is lost or stolen.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Being prepared can be the determining factor if your trip is going to be a success or not.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Do you routinely notify your bank or credit card company before traveling?⁣⠀

One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.⁣⠀

I recently stayed at the @colonyclubbarbados hotel, which is located on the west coast of the beautiful country and island of Barbados. Although The Colony Club has several dining areas, their in-room dining experience is one for the books. In fact, I became obsessed with in-room dining, as The Colony Club is the best to do it, hands down. And I've had the honor to stay at some of the most amazing 5-star hotels and resorts around the world. They have a way of making you feel like you are in your own restaurant.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Thank you for taking care of me as per usual. Until the next time @colonyclubbarbados..⠀

Have you ever had an amazing in-room dining experience? ⁣⠀

Newbie travelers aren't the only ones that make bi

Newbie travelers aren't the only ones that make big travel mistakes. Veteran travelers are notorious as well for making mistakes as the more they travel, the more relaxed they become, and that's where rookie mistakes often occur.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Here's our top 5 common veteran traveler mistakes:⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Missing Flights: Veteran travelers are known for missing flights. The thing is, they often play with time or lack of. Arriving at the airport within the hour, falling asleep at or near the gate missing boarding call, chilling in the lounge, or shopping in the airport.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Packing At The Last Minute: Who packs on the day of departure for a trip? You would be surprised. In fact, a large percentage of frequent travelers pack hours before departure. Sending them into a frenzy racing to the airport to catch their flight.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Leaving Things Behind: The most frequently traveled, often pack the day of departure. They once again, play with the lack of time, and when you are rushing you will more than likely leave something behind every single time.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Failure To Research Local Laws and Culture : Certain attire is unacceptable and deemed highly offensive within many destinations outside of the United States. Us travelers who find ourselves all over the world frequently forget that we will need a scarf as some a form of head covering to enter many places of worship abroad. Even for places as fun and exotic as the Caribbean, it is unlawful to wear camouflage in Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, and Jamaica to name a few.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Booking last minute: If you travel long enough and regularly, you will experience the freedom and carefreeness that travel exudes. The downside is becoming too free that you start to go with the flow of things. Like booking your flight at the last minute, being subjected to higher fares. And often times, veteran travelers arrive at their destination to only then, look for accommodations.⁣⠀

What are some rookie travel mistakes you've made?

Be a pop of color in a Black and White world.⠀

Although we're in the midst of a pandemic, we want

Although we're in the midst of a pandemic, we want to ensure you're ready to hit the ground running as soon as we're able to move about friendly skies again.⁣ ⁣ ⠀
⠀
Here are our 6 tips for a smoother travel experience. ⁣Pack essential items in your carry on. Meaning, pack what you can't live without. On average airlines misdirect or lose 25 million bags out of 4.3 billion every year. ⁣ ⁣ ⠀
⠀
Keep your boarding pass. Often travelers discard their boarding pass post flight. However, for those of you who collect frequent flyer points, your boarding pass can serve as proof of travel if your airline fails to add your points to your frequent flyer number. ⁣ ⁣ ⠀
⠀
Select your desired seating at the time of flight purchase: It's nothing like sitting where you don't really want to be seated on an aircraft. Whether that is front, middle, or back of the plane. Or aisle, window, or middle seat. The likelihood of your seat preference is slim to none if you fail to select a seat at the time of purchase. Note, not all flights, classes, and airlines allow you to select your seat prior to boarding. ⁣ ⁣ ⠀
⠀
Tag your checked luggage. It's nothing like waiting at the luggage carousel and grabbing every black bag that isn't yours. With an endless stream of identical bags, we have an easy way to spot your luggage amongst the rest. Mark your bag with a colorful luggage cover and say bye-bye to your luggage being mistaken for someone else bag. ⁣ ⁣ ⠀
⠀
Know where you'll be staying. Ever entered a country and found yourself standing before an immigration officer and can't provide an address for your stay? Sometimes it's not enough to know the name of the hotel or family/friend house where you'll be residing. Next time, snap a pic or store the name, address, and phone number of the place you'll be staying within your phone. ⁣ ⁣ ⠀
⠀
Take your foreign currency with you. Exchanging foreign currency after returning home is such a bother. These days who want to enter a bank, let alone be subjected to high exchange fees? For those travelers who travel internationally frequently, carry old foreign currency with you in the event you have an opportunity to use it.⁣ ⁣ ⠀
⠀

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of Airline Seating

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of Airline Seating.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
The Good or better yet, the AISLE seat, is our most desired seating when soaring the friendly skies. The aisle seat, unlike the middle and window, provides easy accessibility to the overhead compartment space, the restroom, and the aisle where you can take a quick stretch or two if needed. Although we rank the aisle seat as the better choice, during seat selection, it has it's downsides as well. The snack and beverage cart never fails in catching the arms and shoulders of those who take on the isle. This frequent occurrence most likely happens during sleep time, as your body may maneuver during your resting period while flying or perhaps to newbies who aren't aware of this rude awakening.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
The Bad, also known as the WINDOW seat, which isn't all that bad, unless you are in a rush to use the restroom or deplane the aircraft while watching your isle leader read a magazine. On a high note, the window seat is like a child's security blanket that provides a level of comfort with truly elevated experience and aerial view. For long haul flights, this may be most ideal for travelers, as you can comfortably rest your head and adjust your body to a level of comfort that will leave the isle and middle seater in envy. Oh, and by the way, you control the window shade as well.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
And then, the ugly… the infamous MIDDLE seat. Like who in hell actually book this intentionally?!?! Most people who select this form of seating are typically those who desire to engage in long drawn out unwanted conversations, want to feel a sense of safety so they strategically place themselves between two humans or a newbie who's oblivious to desired seating selection. Well, we guess someone has to learn. How we view it, this style of seating has no serious benefit. Everything is kind of…. you can kind of see out of the window, you kind of have two armrests, you kind of have access to the isle but not, and not to mention, you become the unsolicited server passing food and beverages to your row mate laying comfortably up against the window.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
What's your favorite seat and why?
