Interesting. 46% of Americans plan to travel this fall, with 60% planning road trips and only 28% taking a domestic flight. Where are you going this fall, and if it's within the US, are you going by plane or car? Anyone taking a train?

It's countdown to 7 May. Do you have a REAL ID? That's a driver's license with a star in the upper corner, a passport, a global entry card, military id, Department of Defenise ID, green card needed to board aircraft beginning 7 May.

If you have no REAL ID and you have a flight to catch May 7 or the weeks following? Please arrive 3 hrs early for your domestic flight so you have time for additional verification checks required.

And then go get that appointment to get an enhanced driver's license that is REAL ID compliant. 😊

I hear it time and again. Europe is so expensive. France, Italy, the UK can be very expensive, especially during the summer. There are still ways to visit Europe and experience wonderful history, culture, food and w**e at more affordable prices. Top of the list for affordability - Poland! Also consider Finland, Austria and Germany! Affordability gets even better during off seasons and you don't have the crowds either. Witam Poland! Hello Poland!
