Happy New Year 2025

May the coming year be filled with fun travel and lots of love! To all of our readers, thank you for your support and enthusiasm; we do it all for you. Our featured cities for spring 2025 are definitely Paris and Rome…

Paris is looking fantastic and the new Notre Dame cathedral has just be reopened. Why not check it it out for yourself? Airfares are generally less from January through March, especially if your flight days fall on a Tuesday or Wednesday.

Rome is celebrating a Jubilee year, which only happens once every two decades or so. The city (and Vatican) spent nearly all of 2024 repairing, polishing, and sprucing-up seemingly everything so why not go and see the Eternal City in all of its glory?

Happy travels, Dean and Andie

New timeframe announced for the EU entry fee & approval (ETIAS)

Many of our readers have had questions regarding the new ETIAS application approval that will be needed to enter most European countries. It will now begin sometime in mid-2025, so most travelers can relax and take a much-needed breath.

We have updated our books with the official, direct link to the ETIAS website. Its components will become live as the new system is put into place. Please make note of this new URL that is currently in all of our Europe (but not UK or US) books:

Thank you sharing this email with loved ones and other travelers you may know.
