Carnival Cruise Line has released new passport rules for guests sailing to Panama. Uncategorized by Corey Grant - Travel Agent - November 17, 2024November 17, 20240 Did you know you don't necessarily need a passport to go on a cruise? While some itineraries, like one-way sailings from one U.S. port to another and international voyages, require a valid passport, some cruises permit a government-issued photo ID and a certified birth certificate copy as acceptable travel documentation. These include closed-loop (or round-trip) sailings from U.S. ports, such as a 7-night Caribbean cruise that begins and ends in Miami. Image Even though certain voyages don't require passports, it's advisable to have one handy. If something goes wrong—such as a medical emergency—and you must disembark in a foreign port of call, you can't fly back to the United States without one. Before your cruise, pay attention to any communication from your cruise line regarding valid travel
Venice, Italy (Did You Know) Italy by Corey Grant - Travel Agent - October 10, 2024October 10, 20240 Venice - Italy, was built on over 100 individual islands, planting wooden piles, *5 meters long (not *25 m), in the unstable ground of the lagoon. Surrounded by salt mud and in the absence of oxygen under water, the wooden piles do not rot but petrify permanently, thus forming the perfect foundations of the city. Venice has always had to coexist with the water that surrounds it and with the erosion that it causes especially to the banks. This is why the latter are protected by the white stone of Istria. In many cases, to expand the building areas, entire areas of the lagoon were filled. Before starting to build the buildings overlooking the canals, the Venetians planted wooden piles in the ground

Dr. Laura Purdy, a family medicine physician and medical director of Swell Medical, says coming home with a cold or other bugs is fairly common due to the exposure you have and the activities you do while traveling. Planes, airports, buses and taxicabs are all spaces
