As a woman who loves to travel, I’ve come to prioritize a few non-negotiables: peace of mind, ease, and efficiency. Over time, I’ve learned that how you start and end your trip can shape the entire experience. That’s precisely why I decided to apply for Global Entry - and honestly, I wish I had done it sooner.
If you’re like me (or like many of the women I serve), you’re looking for a travel experience that feels safe, smooth, and soul-affirming. You want to enjoy the journey, not just the destination. Global Entry, paired with TSA PreCheck, has helped me do exactly that - and it might be the best travel upgrade you haven’t considered yet.

Cruise vacations are often synonymous with relaxation, adventure, and the gentle ocean sway beneath your feet. For many, the rhythmic motion of the ship becomes a comforting backdrop to days filled with exploration and evenings of entertainment. However, what happens when that gentle sway doesn't subside after you've returned to solid ground?
After my recent 8-day Caribbean cruise, I anticipated returning home with cherished memories and perhaps a sun-kissed glow. I didn't expect a lingering sensation of movement - a persistent feeling as if I were still aboard the ship, swaying with the waves. This sensation persisted for weeks, leading me to discover a condition known as Mal de Débarquement Syndrome (MdDS). Cruise vacations are the epitome of ease - unpack once, explore multiple destinations, and enjoy endless amenities. But as stress-free as cruising can be, the journey to get there sometimes starts with a completely different experience, especially when you overpack.
Here's a true story of what happened when I packed for an 8-day cruise and extended 5-day vacation without a strategy. It includes the airport mishap I could have avoided, the last-minute suitcase purchase I didn't plan for, and the packing lessons that will follow me on every trip. Whether you're preparing for your first cruise or your fifth, my experience may help you skip a few common missteps. |
