Delta is bringing 30 Boeing 787 Dreamliners into the fleet, and that’s the kind of headline that actually matters when you’re the one stuck on a long flight. We talk through what makes the 787 such a traveler favorite, where Delta plans to use it, and why cabin quiet, layout, and comfort can be just as important as the fare you see on a screen. We also dig into United’s new economy meal policy on flights over 1,200 miles, where preordering in the app becomes the only way to get a meal, and what that means for planning ahead.

Then we slow things down on purpose with a look at some of the best new US train journeys to consider for 2026, from upgraded Amtrak experiences to true sightseeing routes that build in hotel overnights. After that, we answer a listener question with a practical three-night Copenhagen pre-cruise itinerary: Nyhavn, canal tours, Tivoli Gardens, classic landmarks, palace history, and the walkable streets that make the city so easy to love. We even cover Danish foods that are approachable if you want to try local flavor without getting too adventurous.

In our Just Cruising segment, we hit the big cruise headlines: a developing cruise port in remote Mayaguana, Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Aura coming in 2027, and Oceania’s move to an adults-only policy. We also break down a Princess Cruises offer featuring up to 40% off, extra instant savings, and onboard credit, then help a listener compare 2026 routes that include Iceland and Norway, plus an option that includes Greenland.

Thank you for taking the time to listen to the show. There are literally thousands of podcasts from which you can choose, yet you listened to my show.

The entire purpose of this podcast is to help people plan and book their next vacation or simply give listeners ideas of where they might consider going on vacation next. Our goal is to help our listeners live their lives deliberately and intentionally. You only get one shot at life so you might as well make it count. Make memories with those that matter most to you.

TAKE ACTION: Quit talking about going on vacation, just do it. If you want more information about any of the destinations we discussed during the show, or have your own custom vacation in mind, I can help you. Please call, text, or email me.
