The Sunday Round-Up | July 4, 2021


Happy Independence Day! I hope you're having a wonderful holiday weekend. We were supposed to be on a flight to New York right now but I just canceled the tickets. The Delta variant is just too risky for little kids so we're staying closer to home.

Fortunately, we live in Southern California so there are plenty of nearby places to explore, including Catalina Island, which we visited last week and absolutely loved. Even though it's just 22 miles off the coast, it felt like a world away and there are places like this all around the USA. My story about Catalina, as well as all of the other stories (including 'Always Do This After Booking Flights'), and top travel news headlines from this past week are below so please scroll down.

I also just wrote a post about how the not-so-friendly national carrier to the north has one of the greatest airline scams of all time. If it hadn't happened to me yesterday, I wouldn't have believed it. Read the story.
