robertjones+FollowThings That Shock Americans in the UKThought you knew the UK from movies and TV? Think again! First-timers are in for a wild ride: you order food at the bar (not at your table), tipping is way less stressful, and hotel rooms are tiny (plus, say goodbye to top sheets). Supermarkets? You bag your own groceries. Public transport is actually reliable, and if you drive, brace yourself for roundabouts and narrow lanes. Oh, and don’t expect deep convos with strangers—manners are a whole different game! #CultureShock #TravelTips #UKvsUS #Spirituality30Share
derek12+FollowCarnival's New Ban: No More Dance Floor DramaHeads up if you’re planning a Carnival cruise: leave your Bluetooth speakers and handheld fans at home! Carnival just banned both to keep the peace and avoid dance floor mishaps (no one wants to get whacked by a fan mid-boogie). The move is all about making sure everyone can hear announcements and stay safe. So, if you want to vibe to your own tunes, bring headphones instead. Cruise tip: follow the rules or risk getting kicked off—and banned for good! #CarnivalCruise #TravelTips #CruiseLife #Business6388Share
Julie Padilla+FollowWindow Seat Flyers, Read This!Turns out, snagging that window seat on your next flight comes with a hidden catch: extra UV exposure! Dermatologists say airplane windows don’t block all UVA rays, which can speed up wrinkles and even up your skin cancer risk. At 30,000 feet, UV levels are way higher than on the ground. Even if you’re inside, sunscreen is a must—especially if you’re a frequent flyer or love the view. SPF 15+ and broad spectrum is the way to go! #TravelTips #Skincare #WindowSeat #Spirituality120Share
Charles Coleman+FollowTSA’s New Phone Rules: What You Need to KnowTSA just dropped a warning for anyone flying with their phone: don’t use airport USB charging ports (hello, hackers!) and avoid public WiFi for anything sensitive. Also, if you’re packing a power bank or spare battery, it has to go in your carry-on—NOT checked luggage. Apparently, those little chargers can cause fires. Who knew charging your phone could be so dramatic? Double-check your bag before you fly or risk losing your gadgets at security! #TravelTips #TSA #AirportHacks #Spirituality12338Share

Charles Coleman+FollowTSA’s Sneaky Charger Crackdown!Heads up, frequent flyers! TSA is quietly confiscating portable chargers and power banks from checked bags—yep, those lithium-ion battery packs we all rely on. Turns out, they’re a fire risk in the cargo hold, so they now HAVE to go in your carry-on. Same goes for spare phone and laptop batteries. If you stash them in your checked luggage, you might lose them at security (and get delayed). Pro tip: keep all your gadgets and chargers with you onboard! #TravelTips #TSA #AirportHacks #Spirituality53Share
Vincent Perry+FollowSouthwest’s ‘Free Bags’ Days Are OverHeads up, Southwest fans: the airline that used to be your go-to for free bags and easy seat picks is switching things up. Soon, you’ll have to pay for checked bags and seat assignments—just like on other airlines. The days of picking your seat as you board are numbered. If you want perks, you’ll need their credit card or status. Looks like Southwest is chasing profits, not just happy flyers. Time to compare all your options before booking! #TravelTips #AirlineFees #MoneyHacks #Business10Share
Melanie James+FollowCDC’s Big Measles Travel UpdateHeads up, globe-trotters: the CDC just changed the game on measles shots. Now, it doesn’t matter where you’re headed—everyone traveling internationally should be vaccinated, not just those going to outbreak hotspots. This comes after a recent outbreak linked to a flight into Denver. Basically, measles can hitch a ride anywhere, even on the plane! If you’re planning a trip, double-check your vaccine status (and your kids’). Better safe than sorry! #TravelTips #Measles #CDCUpdate #Health30Share
Jennifer Rojas+FollowAirport Charging Stations? Think Twice!Ever plug your phone into those airport charging stations? Turns out, hackers can use those USB ports to steal your info—a trick called 'juice jacking.' TSA just dropped a warning: skip the public USBs and use your own power bank or AC outlet instead. Want to stay extra safe? Pack your own charging cable, use 'charge only' mode, and avoid public WiFi for anything sensitive. Don’t let your layover turn into a cyber nightmare! #TravelTips #CyberSecurity #TSA #Spirituality162Share
