Hi Reader,

I'm beyond excited about a change I have made that I think you will like! So I'll jump right in and tell you.

It used to take me too long to tell you about all the promotions I receive due to the volume of offers and frequency that they change. I got some help from AI and now I can post them to my website much faster. I can offer everything from last minute offers, onboard credits, discounted prices, amenities, and excursions from numerous vendors. I have 3 vendors posted now and I'm working on more.

I may continue to post offers in this newsletter but if you want a host of offers in one place, I'll have links below.

Summer is here, in Florida, it's been here for a while! But we have a short cool down right now, so let's talk about a "cooler" place to visit for my new article. Take that how you like :-)

I have a client traveling to Switzerland this year and as time permits, I always try to write articles to help them, and you, find interesting things to do, eat, and buy. I have several coming out about Switzerland so stay tuned for a few others.

Unfortunately, the Christmas Market group price has ended and will likely continue to go up or sell out quicky. If you want to go, ask for a quote while there is still space. For those coming with me, I have some fun articles coming on speakeasies and hidden hot spots in Prague!

Enjoy the article!

Passport Stamps

This is not a hot topic but something you should know. Many airports are no longer stamping passports. Your entry is digital so you will have your photo taken as you pass through. This is to speed up the process but I will certainly miss my book full of stamps! I guess I won't need that passport with extra pages I requested :-)

Trending: Europe Dupes

With the economy the way it is, international airfare through the roof, and gas prices up and down (a little) many travelers are looking for the feel of Europe but closer to home. I have some great ideas for this so watch for an article shortly with a quick list.

Airline News

There is so much going on with the airlines right now, I can't fit it all here so here are the highlights.

• Spirit Sudden Operations Shutdown: With the Ultra-low-cost carrier Spirit Airlines abruptly shut down operations after failing to secure a financial bailout other airlines are scrambling to gain their clients. Competitors like Frontier Airlines is aggressively moving to expand in former Spirit strongholds like Detroit, while JetBlue is doubling down on Fort Lauderdale. You may find summer routes higher with this change.
• New Direct Flights from Orlando MCO: Now for some good news! We now have direct flights to Tokyo (ZipAir-Seasonal and limited), Paris (Air France), Munich (Discover), and Edinburgh (Virgin Atlantic). These flights run 2-4 times a week.

Why Zurich Switzerland

Should Be Your Next European Adventure

The Article Intro:

Zurich is often considered Switzerland's financial capital, but that description barely scratches the surface. This sophisticated city combines medieval charm, world-class museums, stunning lakeside scenery, luxury shopping, and easy access to some of the most breathtaking landscapes in Europe. Nestled on the shores of Lake Zurich and surrounded by rolling hills and the distant Swiss Alps, Zurich offers visitors the perfect blend of culture, history, and natural beauty.
