Hello and welcome to Thursday's Travel Tips with your queen of travel fund, Judy Julien. So I just came back from vacation and it was wonderful. The flight down was wonderful. The trip being there was spectacular. The setting was unbelievable. It was like being in a dream. But we did have a few glitches coming back. So we were at the airport to get our flight back to Raleigh, Durham from Puerto Vallarta, and we were getting ready to board. And then they said, oh, we're going to be another hour before boarding. And then there were back to no, we're going to board in a few minutes. So, you know, I had to go up to the desk for something else. And about that time they said we're going to go through Phoenix instead of going directly to Denver. Well, Denver is where my connection was to get back to RDU. So I knew this was going to create a little problem. Well, there were some people that always fly stand by and they said to me, why don't you just call the airline. So I called the airlines and they said, uh, you're going to get test to get your information from the travel desk right at the airport. Well, what happened was that they did take us through Jen, I'm sorry, Phoenix, to do our customs. And then we went on to Denver. Well, about the time we got to Denver, of course, my flight, it's gone to RU and they had already rescheduled us for the next morning at 8:00 AM, which I guess was fine. I had my travel agent partner argue, make me reservations at a hotel because I I knew we were going to get stuck there. So anyway, we were told at the airport that you know that our luggage went through to our final destination. And fortunately I take some of my own advice, so I had extra meds and some clothes, some change of clothes. We only were going to get about a couple at, you know, 3 hours of sleep because they told me at the airport, you know, that the flight was, which was at 8:00. O'clock. You're going to have to get there by 5:00. This was a huge airport, and it was a Friday. So get here by 5:00 because, you know, I was thinking, ohh, maybe 6:00. O'clock, you know, 6:30. Get there. Well, no, When you're at a huge airport like that. Oh, my gosh. Security lines are going to be long. And they were exactly right. I got there at 5:00 o'clock, and there were hundreds of people already in line for security. The other thing I learned is, Judy, renew your Global Entry where you have TSA Pre-check and you know, now that they're doing, they're letting you get your TSA Pre-check at Staples now. So it's pretty easy. And when you're in large airports, are you going to be in large airports? That might be a great idea. Well, security went through, I mean, we went through security with ease was not a problem. So you know, I've learned things all the time when I travel. So I hope you know some of these things will help you. And if you are getting ready to travel again, let me know. This is Judy, Julie and your queen of travel fun.
