About This Video

In this video, we’re sharing the travel planning mistakes we’ve made (and learned from) so you can avoid the same headaches on your next trip. Laura and I talk through the big “before you even leave home” stuff—like checking your passport and ID expiration dates (and that six-month passport rule), making sure you’ve got a REAL ID for flying in the U.S., and not skipping travel insurance. We’ve seen firsthand how insurance can soften the blow when you miss a port on a cruise, and it saved us big time when 2020 shut the world down. We also get into the practical planning details that can make or break your trip: overpacking vs. underpacking (yes, we’re spreadsheet people and we still overpack), building in enough buffer time for connections and embarkation days, and not ignoring local holidays or major events that can close attractions or turn a city into total mayhem. We cover money and logistics too—like notifying your bank so your card doesn’t get declined mid-trip, figuring out transportation before you arrive, and backing up important documents. Finally, we talk about time zones, jet lag, and cruise “ship time,” plus why you should always research seasonal weather patterns (Puerto Rico taught us that lesson the hard way). Bottom line: don’t be too hard on yourself—be patient, keep a sense of humor, and you can still have a great vacation.
