As of this week, U.S. travelers need to apply for authorization to enter the United Kingdom.
I went through this process myself to figure out what's the best way (app vs. website), how long it takes, and which credit card to use.
Here's my report:

As much as I once loved Twitter, I very much do not love X. It's time for me to move on.
Anyone else wake up at 3am starving and wide awake?
No, just me?
I think this is the first time I've had a delayed reaction to jetlag.
Also now that I visited Turkmenistan, I can take my profile off private again!*
*Hiding my "internet presence" (hard to do with published bylines....) was a strong recommendation for getting a visa. But it worked!
I am currently 80 miles from the city of Batman, Türkiye and am kicking myself for not arranging my plans so I could fly in or out of Batman airport (BAL, service to Istanbul & Ankara).
Pulled up an old blog article to help a friend today. Re-read it, had happy memories and miss my storytelling hobby.
Should I restart? I leave home on Sunday, so I have the perfect excuse to get back in the swing of things.

100% did not realize my Global Entry had expired until I checked in for a flight tomorrow and the Precheck didn't show on my boarding pass. Oops. Now to cross fingers my renewal is approved without a follow-up interview.
Friends, 4pm just came and went without me cancelling my flight within its 24-hour period, so safe to announce my next trip now that I'm financially committed (eek!):
- Turkmenistan
- Uzbekistan
- Turkey (SE Anatolia)
How do you get over the guilt of leaving your pet at home while you travel even when you know they are well cared for/spoiled/loved by a great sitter?
I hate Facebook but appreciate that this memory popped up for me today.
For the record, it was indeed a lovely trip.
We started packing a "Wyoming box" with car repair/self rescue supplies after having to change two tires on other trips. And today marks three. WE SHOULD HAVE FLOWN. Y'all be careful if you head there. I swear there are more services in Alaska.
Spent the day in Two Medicine, Glacier National Park, and it was good medicine for the soul. Sad for this week to come to a close. Spectacular trip.

Tonight my husband swore to me that there's a Lufthansa flight from Belgrade to Denver. 👀
"No way," I said.
Well... LH 7461, which is actually UA 543, flies BZN-DEN. And Bozeman airport is technically located in Belgrade, MT.
Does he win on a technicality?
