Hi Fellow Traveler,

My apologies to the fathers/father figures here; I forgot to wish you all a happy day in last Friday’s newsletter and if your dad/father figure is no longer around; you have my heartfelt wishes.

It’s been a quick week working away at content, plus writing new content for the new AI Travel Pulse newsletter.

Happy Summer/Winter Solstice. I hope you celebrated well.

My friends Ian and Tonya over at World Footprints have put together a trip to Egypt later this year. It’s been ages possibly 23 years since I set foot in Egypt. Myself and an ex-colleague flew TWA from JFK on a Boeing 767-300; we didn’t do the tech stop :-). I need to go back.

If you’d like to go on this trip, and you should, then check out the trip they’ve put together here.

The Pyramids at Giza

Have you ever rented an EV? You have to check out how annoyed I was after renting one last weekend. It takes a lot to annoy me and I was annoyed at this experience.

How are things in your neck of the woods?

Here's what I got this week.

I’ve updated the Athens post as it’s a popular summer destination. Take a look and let me know if you need any additional information.

Here are some newsworthy items in aviation this week. It would seem like every day, something is happening to an airplane:

  • I hope they figure it out as a strike is not good for anyone especially since all the flights on all the airlines are packed to the gills! There’s really no reason why the two sides can’t hash this out.

  • I always though it was weird that they are based here in Houston, but don’t fly out of Houston; now they do finally.

TRAVEL INSURANCE

A friend of mine was on holiday and got sick; unfortunately, she did not have any form of travel insurance. So she had to pay out of pocket and have a doctor and nurse come to her house to get treatment. Four days later she was feeling better and ready to fly home to get further treatment.

I say this to say that travel insurance is just as important as booking your flights and your hotel; it’s a part of the journey. it gives you peace of mind when you travel. At least, it does for me. That’s why I have an annual policy. Consider getting travel insurance for every trip or an annual policy. you don’t need it until you need it.

Note: If you purchase travel insurance via this link, I receive a small commission. Thank you in advance.

TRAVEL CREDIT CARD OFFERS

If you use credit cards, then consider getting a card that gives you points for every dollar you spend. This will ensure that you can travel almost for free when you are ready.
