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

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:

https://travel-europe.europa.eu/etias_en

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

Important Update:

    An ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) is now required to enter the entire United Kingdom starting in January 2025.  Apply online for entry and pay the fee of £10 (good for two years) at least one week in advance of your travels –and be approved- or you will not be allowed to board your international flight. This ETA visa-waiver (as it is called) is required in addition to a current, valid passport. Babies and children are not exempt from this application process and fee!

If you can get away in November, an incredible round-trip airfare can be yours… United Airlines is offering fares as low as $466 total (including all taxes and fees from NYC and back) if you hurry to their website. We should add that this fare is for carry-on luggage only and is fabulously non-stop! A checked bag costs another $75 each way if you decide you need it.

We love Rome and Florence in November and will be there as well. No heat, no crowds, just tons of fun, like the virtual reality tour of the Circus Maximus. This is your chance to go to Italy; don’t miss out! Our Clued In Rome and Clued In Florence books will give you all the info you need.

Happy travels, Dean and Andie

Happy travels, Dean and Andie
