Our international travels resumed in 2022 after a two year hiatus. The challenges involved in air travel are well known and it is wise to be prepared for flight delays so they don’t spoil your entire trip.
We just renewed our Global Entry enrollment for another 5 years. The cost ($100 for 5 years) is well worth it. Global Entry, which includes TSA pre-check, enables the traveler to avoid long customs lines upon returning to the US after a tiring trip. Here is the link if you are interested:

Next up Portugal, Spain, and as always, Canada.
