So, we are in our way to Casablanca, the first stop on our Morocco experience! Thought I would take the time to record a video of carryon travel tips while chillin at DEN. Enjoy!

So true although I'm gonna keep it real. I'd much rather travel with my husband! ❤️❤️

Did you know you can (and should) register your out of country trips with the State Department through their Smart Traveler Enrollment Program? This way, if something goes down, they know that you, a US citizen, are in that country and you will be alerted.

I registered our upcoming trip to Morocco and received an email in the middle of the night informing me of the earthquake. While my trip hasn’t started (yet they know our dates), it was great to get this information straight from the State Department. The email provided the nearest consulate and embassy locations and phone numbers for assistance, and things to do and consider.

Still considering our options for cancellation, if that’s what we decide to do. Having travel insurance helps … it’s also a MUST!

Did you know that if you’re frequent travelers like we are, you can buy an annual travel insurance plan that covers ALL trips for a one-year period? I just found that out this year!!! I like that our plan covers rental cars, so you don’t have to buy the rental car’s expensive coverage or involve your insurance company in the event of an accident.

Anyway, just some travel insight for thought. 🌺

I’m all about multi-faceted experiences when traveling, and adding a train ride in the mix is just the ticket. In fact, this particular train ride was better than flying! It was just a more calming, less-hurried experience, spacious seats, nicer bathroom (👀 yep), and Sleeping Beauty got her some much needed rest before arriving in the Big Apple … we hit the ground running!

Let the college visits begin! Yeah, we came to play for Spring Break, but we also came to handle business. This is my granddaughter’s first college visit and Howard University is at the top of her list. Y’all, Howard is dope, and I can see Nylah fitting right in. We got a great tour by Howard student and our hometown girl and her passion for Howard was evident. Over the next year and a half, we’ll have many more college visits, but Howard set the bar high … H.U., you know!

I am so honored to have this experience with my granddaughter, Nylah … her first visit (and my second) to the African American History Museum!

Lemme see where I wanna go!

Travel’s rebound has revealed the depth of our drive to explore the world. Why do we travel? For food, culture, adventure, natural beauty? This year’s list has all those elements, and more.
