Nicki's Newsletter #4
Hey Everyone!
Hope your week is amazing. I have been busy traveling but wanted to send out a few updates for everyone.
Sorry if I have not answered your emails and messages online - it is very hard to travel full time and run social media and keep up with hundreds of messages a day.
Just to answer a few common questions I keep getting: No, I am not a travel agent - you should book your travel with the hotels directly I recommend. I cannot book anything for you. 2. If you are looking for information on something specific, please check my blogs for free resources. They are both linked in my bio on Instagram and Tiktok. You can use the search feature on either one to see if I have anything on your destination.
First things first – Tahiti has opened the door to unvaccinated travelers and rearranged some entry requirements. If you are unvaccinated – you will just need to test before arrival and no quarantine. Please make sure you read about the test types and how many days before booking them. I also noticed Air Tahiti Nui said they are not requiring masks on their flights, so that is optional now.
Travel Deals for the week:
Tahiti and Bora Bora – I have shared Bora Bora deals the past couple weeks but now a Tahiti and Bora Bora deal is up and it is 7 nights! You get two islands, flights from LAX, inter-island flights, daily breakfast, dinner for the 5 nights in Bora Bora, transportation to and from both resorts on the ground, overwater bungalow in Bora Bora, and a regular room in Tahiti. You will be staying at the Intercontinental in Tahiti (I have stayed here twice – it’s ok. It’s just hard to compare to Bora Bora – but if you stay here first, you will think it is heaven!) and at the Intercontinental Bora Bora Thalasso. I have not stayed in the last resort but it is on my list.
Santorini - this deal is good for 4 or 7 nights with many room categories available. Looks like most weeks are available for the summer right now - so if you are planning to visit, this is a solid deal.
Maldives - this deal has multiple options, but it looks like you could do an overwater villa with a pool for 5 nights all-inclusive just under $3600 for two people. There are blackout dates and some surcharges for certain timeframes - but a good deal if it works for your dates.
Fiji - flights to Fiji are on sale for $699 round trip and they are direct flights out of California or Hawaii! Limited time and limited dates - so run, don’t walk.
Travel
I have been exploring the Florida Keys since late last week. I did stay at The Bungalows in Key Largo since so many of you have asked about it. I have not had a chance to write about it but I have a video here on tiktok and on instagram - it is the same video.
I saw the clearest water I have seen in the USA this week - check it out here on instagram or tiktok. I was so surprised!
I have tons of blog posts coming in the next couple weeks to wrap up this trip and give you all an itinerary I love and resort reviews! I have a few other articles you have requested that I am working on as well.
That is all this week -
Nicki
