“Your Dose of Travel IQ”

The real beach predators don't have fins

🌊🏖️ Rip currents are the real sharks in disguise!

Listen up, sand dwellers! While you're chasing that perfect bronze, The Ocean's got some nasty surprises. “Rip currents“ are the stealth bombers of the surf world, and they're not playing games. These watery ninjas are snatching nearly 100 people yearly, with summer being prime time for their shenanigans. Not cool, ocean. Not cool.

News (That We Wish Wasn't) - 19 beach days have already gone terribly wrong this year. Panama City Beach and Hollywood Beach are still shook, and Hutchinson Island, Florida? Well, it saw a family vacay turn into a nightmare. Brian and Erica, parents of six, got caught in a rip current and lost their lives. Our hearts are breaking faster than waves on the shore 😢 

 💪 If caught in a rip current's grip, remember:

• 😌 Don't panic (easier said than done, we know!) - rip currents won't pull you under

• 🏊‍♂️ Swim parallel to the shore to break free, like you’re dodging your ex at the beach.

• 🚫 Avoid fighting the current head-on, you’re not Aquaman

🌊 Myth-Busting Moment: Don't fall for the "undertow" myth - rip currents are more like nature's treadmills, pushing you out to sea rather than dragging you under!

Field of Dreams

If you build it, they will come! ESPN is stepping up to the plate in the travel industry with its new ESPN Experiences brand. Their inaugural "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" tour offers baseball fanatics a five-day journey through iconic stadiums in Boston, Philadelphia, and New York.

⚾️ Managed by Adventures by Disney, this curveball into sports tourism is aiming to knock fans' socks off faster than a 100 mph fastball.

• 😃 The lineup includes fancy digs, VIP stadium access, premium game seats, and the chance to hobnob with baseball bigwigs like Michael Kay and Doug Glanville.

💰 Home run or strikeout? At $7,000 per person, it's pricier than ballpark beer! But for some fans, this might be their “field of dreams” come true.
