When my teenaged daughter left home to study in the Czech Republic for a year, I put an Apple AirTag in each of her suitcases. When she arrived on the other side of the world missing two bags, she was very distraught. That was compounded by the fact that her new residence was four hours from the airport and in a different country.

Because of the AirTags, she was able to discover right away that her bags were in Chicago. As the airline did not have this knowledge, it helped them locate her bags much more quickly. Moreover, a screen shot showing their location and hers was easy proof to provide her travel insurance company to trigger financial assistance to get items for immediate use. If they had never arrived, she would have been able to use that towards getting a payout.

They are on sale for Prime Day, one of the only time they are on sale. Normally $99, they are currently proced at $64.99!

AirTag. Keep track of your keys, wallet, luggage, backpack, and more, all in the Find My app. Play a sound on the built-in speaker, or say “Hey Siri, find my gym bag.” With select iPhone models, Precision Finding can lead you right to your nearby AirTag. If it’s further away, hundreds of milli...

I am always so thankful for the clients and friends who entrust me with planning their vacations! Memory making, relaxation, time with loved ones, adventures, making connections, exploration, all precious commodities in our busy lives. It is an honor to be a part of that for so many people.

Where do you want to go?

I had to explain to someone recently the difference between “adulting” and “being an adult.” Adulting is all of the things you have to do between vacations. Being an adult is be able to decide when and where you take those vacations.

But sometimes being an adult means getting excited about accidentally finding a broom 💜🧹that matches your kitchen walls because it will make the adulting part just the tiniest amount nicer. Especially because the color reminds me that I need to book a cruise.

I am really excited to have the privilege of sailing on Royal Caribbean's newest ship, the Star of Seas, on a "preview cruise" before her Inaugural sail. I am even more excited to learn about the Godmother of the Star. After a last-minute change left them without a Godmother, the cruise line reached for the stars and had a brilliant idea:

"Why don't we find ... someone who's been to space," said CEO Michael Bayley "and can really embody what Royal Caribbean is doing in terms of adventure and excitement."

And that is how an actual astronaut will be the Godmother of the (appropriately named) Star of the Seas, sailing from Florida's Space Coast. Meet Kellie Gerardi, mom, scientist, astronaut, all-around amazing woman and role model!
