ABOUT YES 2 TRAVELS

Hello there.

We are Glenn and Tina Gail, and our paths converged back in 2013, leading us to the vibrant city of Louisville, KY - a place brimming with entertainment and endless opportunities. Glenn has dedicated an impressive 41 years to UPS and is now on the brink of retirement (or so we suspect 😉), while I have bid farewell to the corporate world after over three decades, savoring the freedom that retirement brings. We wholeheartedly embrace new experiences and cherish connections with like-minded individuals.

Our journey began with a resounding "YES" to wanderlust and adventures that know no bounds. Initially, we found joy in attending concerts, indulging in Broadway shows, exploring local art scenes, and supporting charitable events - passions that continue to illuminate our lives to this day. As our bond deepened, we ventured on exciting escapades together, realizing the remarkable compatibility of our lives intertwined with the thrill of travel and the desire to make a positive impact on others. Our passports bear witness to the incredible moments we've shared in Costa Rica, Bali, Singapore, the Dominican Republic, New Orleans, Miami, London, Mexico, and even unforgettable cruises to Greek islands and Alaska.

Now, we reach out to fellow wanderers, empowering travel enthusiasts to save and earn on their own unforgettable journeys while building successful businesses. Our mission is simple - to enhance your life by sharing the valuable wisdom we've gained along the way. We fully understand that bringing this dream to fruition requires unwavering dedication. But fear not, for we stand ready and committed to embark on this exciting endeavor.

The only missing piece of the puzzle? Connecting with kindred spirits who enthusiastically say "YES 2 TRAVELS," embracing the thrill of exploring the world while discovering new ways to earn extra income. Join us on this remarkable journey, where our collective spirit and shared experiences pave the way for a brighter and more fulfilling life. Together, we will unlock countless possibilities, unravel the secrets of the world, and leave a lasting mark on the tapestry of travel.

YES! Billie Eilish just announced a world tour and she's coming to Australia this summer

Billie’s 'Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour' is heading to Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne

Billie Eilish sure ain’t slowing down any time soon. We’re still emotionally recovering from that performance of ‘What Was I Made For?’ at the Oscars, and now ol’ mate ocean eyes has announced a fresh new world tour to coincide with the highly anticipated release of her third studio album Hit Me Hard and Soft (set for release on May 17), featuring a bunch of Aussie arena dates. Starting in North America in September 2024, Eilish will embark on an Australian leg in February 2025, ahead of her European, UK, and Ireland arena shows.

Eilish’s catchy, genre-defying, neo-goth-esque pop music has been topping the charts ever since the release of her debut single 'Ocean Eyes' in 2016 when she was just a fresh faced 15 year old. She’s since accumulated nine Grammy wins, and if you haven’t heard at least one of her bops (or had an impassioned sing-along to ‘Happier Than Ever’) you’ve probably been living under a rock. Eilish co-wrote the forthcoming album with Finnieas, her brother and long-time collaborator, who also produced the album.

When are Billie Eilish’s Australia shows?

Eilish will be playing no less than four dates at Brisbane Entertainment Centre on February 18, 19, 21 and 22. She’ll then perform at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on February 24, 25, 27 and 28, followed by Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on March 4, 5, 7 and 8. We have been informed that no further Australian shows are to be added to the tour – so you oughta get in fast to avoid disappointment, that’ll be some bellyache.

When do tickets for Billie Eilish go on sale?

Tickets for Billie Eilish: Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour will go on sale Friday, May 3, and sales for Sydney shows open at 1pm AEST, for Brisbane shows at 2pm AEST and Melbourne shows at 3pm AEST. Presale for American Express Card Members begins next Wednesday, May 1 (while supplies last) and presale for Vodafone customers, Live Nation and Frontier members commences Thursday, May 2. Find out more and get ready to snap up tickets on the Ticketek website .

In keeping with Billie’s commitment to making a difference in the environmental impacts of her music and touring, a limited number of Changemaker Tickets will be available for the Australia dates. A portion of the proceeds from these tickets will support OzHarvest and other not-for-profit organisations in collaboration with Support + Feed, addressing the impacts of food insecurity and the climate crisis.

Fan participation + Sustainability efforts at Billie Eilish concerts

The Billie Eilish REVERB Eco-Villages will be set up at two locations in the main concourse of every show where fans can take part in the tour’s sustainability efforts, connect with nonprofits, and take meaningful action for people and the planet. Fans are also encouraged to bring an *empty* reusable water bottle or donate for a custom “RockNRefill Nalgene bottle” to fill up at the free water refill stations located at each venue, and to fight fast fashion by opting to wear thrifted, upcycled, or borrowed clothes instead of buying new clothing to wear to shows.

Cheapest destinations to see Taylor Swift concerts from 'Eras Tour' abroad

Are you a Florida Swiftie with “Eras Tour” FOMO?

It’s definitely too late to find a ticket to Taylor Swift’s October concerts in Miami for less than $2,000.

But you can see an “Eras Tour” show in Warsaw, Poland, on Aug. 1, 2024, for about $500 cheaper than the cheapest concert ticket for a Miami show in October (including a roundtrip plane ticket to Poland, from Miami ).

Travel website Islands.com just released a study on the cheapest overseas destinations for seeing Miss Americana on the European leg of her tour.

To calculate the cheapest overseas shows on Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” this summer, Islands.com aggregated data on each city to find the average most affordable concert tickets, the average cost for two days of spending on hotel rooms, meals, drinks and transportation in each city and each city's safety score.

Here’s the Islands.com list of the cheapest shows on the next leg of Taylor Swift’s tour and how much the cheapest plane tickets from Florida to the cheapest European concert are.

Does “The Eras Tour” come to Europe?

Yes! After a wildly successful first run of “The Eras Tour” in the U.S. in 2023, Taylor Swift extended her tour to an international one and will start performing in Europe this summer before returning for more U.S. shows in the fall.

Here’s Islands.com’s list of the Top 10 cheapest places to see Taylor Swift in Europe this summer, including two days’ worth of hotel, food, drink and transportation costs for each city:

Warsaw, Poland: $443 cheapest concert ticket price, $712 total lowest average cost
Gelsenkirchen, Germany: $387 cheapest concert ticket price, $749 total lowest average cost
Hamburg, Germany: $411 cheapest concert ticket price, $903 total lowest average cost
Stockholm, Sweden: $406 cheapest concert ticket price, $935 total lowest average cost
Paris, France: $313 cheapest concert ticket price, $971 total lowest average cost
Munich, Germany: $472 cheapest concert ticket price, $1,000 total lowest average cost
Lisbon, Portugal: $507 cheapest concert ticket price, $1,028 total lowest average cost
Lyon, France: $582 cheapest concert ticket price, $1,047 total lowest average cost
Cardiff, UK: $679 cheapest concert ticket price, $1,061 total lowest average cost
Vienna , Austria: $496 cheapest concert ticket price, $1,089 total lowest average cost

Does Taylor Swift perform in Poland?

Yes! Taylor Swift will be performing for three nights in Warsaw, from Thursday, Aug. 1, through Saturday, Aug. 3.

The cheapest ticket to see Taylor Swift perform in Warsaw, Poland in August is about $1,500 cheaper than the cheapest ticket to catch one of her Miami shows in October.

As of April, via Google Flights, you can buy a roundtrip plane ticket from Miami to Warsaw (with two layovers) for around $800 .

Add that $800 plane ticket to the around $500 it will cost for a concert ticket and the extra $200 to $300 you’ll spend in two days of visiting Warsaw, and the grand total comes out to a maximum of around $1,600, which is still $400 cheaper than the cheapest ticket to a Miami show.

Phil Rosenthal of 'Somebody Feed Phil' is headed to Ann Arbor to perform and, yes, to eat

Wednesday's show at the michigan theater is part of the "everybody loves raymond" creator's north american tour..

"Somebody Feed Phil" host Phil Rosenthal is headed to Ann Arbor on Wednesday, and before you ask, yes, he already knows where he's going to eat.

"I've gotta hit Zingerman's, right?" he asks, on the phone from Philadelphia during a day off from his tour earlier this week. "I've ordered from there before, so it's like going to Mecca for me."

Food is never far from the top of Rosenthal's mind. The "Everybody Loves Raymond" creator has reinvented himself as a traveling food personality on his Netflix series "Somebody Feed Phil," on which he's traveled the globe sampling local cuisines with friends and food personalities over seven seasons, the most recent of which debuted on the streamer in March.

He performs at Ann Arbor's Michigan Theater on Wednesday, part of a two-month, 25-city tour across the U.S. and Canada. Billed as "An Evening with Phil Rosenthal," he'll tell stories from his life and the road before opening things up for a Q&A with the audience. (He plays at GLC Live at 20 Monroe in Grand Rapids on Thursday.)

Here's what the New York City native, 64, had to say about food, travel and bringing people together.

Are you as adventurous an eater when you're not in "Somebody Feed Phil" mode, or are you always, more or less, in "Somebody Feed Phil" mode?

I think I'm always in that mode. I think because like, especially on a tour like this, I'm in new places, and I want to try what that place has to offer.

When you're in a new city, how do you decide where you want to eat? Do you already have a couple of places circled in each town?

I do a little research before I land and I see if there's any musts. And people recommend things to me, which is great. Everyone's always welcome to DM me on Instagram and tell me where they think I should eat. And these are one-nighters, so I'm probably only going to have one meal there. But if I'm going to Grand Rapids and Ann Arbor, I need places!

Do you find that you're like an ambassador of food, or at least like an ambassador in reverse, where everybody's telling you where to go to eat when you're in their town?

Well now because of the show, I do feel a little bit like a goodwill ambassador, and that's so nice. People tell me that the show has an impact on them or businesses, their business has gone up because the show has been there, and nothing makes me happier. That's great.

When you eat, or when you eat on the show at least, you make this joyous face, with this big smile with these wide eyes. It's such a great face to be associated with. Do people make that face to you when they see you?

They do, and sometimes people send me pictures of their kids imitating me. It's it's quite insulting. (Laughs.) No, it's it's the sweetest, sweetest thing. It's great.

What is the key to the show for you? Is it the travel, the food, the people, or is it the combination of all three and the way they come together as one?

Very good question. I'm only using food and my stupid sense of humor to get you to watch, because the real message of the show is to travel and meet people. I think the world would be better if we all could experience a little bit of other people's experiences, but the show says that without saying it. It should be evident. It should be that while you're laughing and ogling that food, the message is getting in.

Do you hear from people who have gone to places because of you?

All the time, all the time. It's so gratifying that people send me photos of them. They DM me photos of them eating at the same place that I ate in, or walking on the same street that I walked on in a city I was in. And I know for people, because I've now done it a lot, that it's life changing to go to a place and be completely wowed, by Lisbon or Paris or Spain or Italy or Kyoto. I know what it's like, I know how magical it is, and I know that what you get is invaluable. You get a new perspective on your life that you carry with you home. So that's the reason for the show.

What has this been like for you, having had a a very successful career in a different avenue, and then becoming this whole other entity at this point in your life?

It's a little like Larry David, right? He was behind the scenes on "Seinfeld," and now he's on camera. But except I would call my show "Why Curb Your Enthusiasm?"

Your enthusiasm is the whole point!

Exactly right.

How did "Somebody Feed Phil" come to be? What was the spark that lit the fuse to create the show?

It actually was a conversation with Ray Romano in between Season 1 and 2 of "Raymond," about where he was going on his hiatus, and he said he was going to the Jersey Shore. And I said, "what about Europe?" And he said he wasn't really interested in going somewhere different. And I thought right then and there, we've got to do that episode where we go to Italy. And we did that episode. It took a few years to convince him to go, but we did it. And the best part was that he — he the person, not just the character — got it, and how great it was to be in Italy and to travel. And now he goes all the time, and I thought, what if I could do this for other people? And that was it. But it was 10 years trying to get it done. And after "Raymond" was over, it took me 10 years to get the show, first on PBS, and then Netflix.

When did you get bit by the travel bug? How much traveling did you do when you were younger, and what got you into traveling, and then becoming kind of person that would encourage others to travel?

I didn't go anywhere as a kid. We couldn't afford it, and we never went anywhere. But I dreamed about it. I saw pictures and TV shows and movies, obviously. And I always dreamed of going. And when I was 23, I got a courier flight to Europe, meaning I could go as long as I took, you know, DHL packages as my excess baggage. And I got to go, and my whole life changed, because I realized this is what you do with your extra money, right? It should be for these experiences, not buying things you don't need. This is life changing, this is what's important. And so ever since I was 23, that was the thing. I wish I'd started even earlier than I started. I know a guy on the internet, he's 30, and he's already been to every country in the world. I don't think I'm going to make it, but good for him.

Have you always been a very adventurous eater, or did that come with time?

At home I was very picky eater. We didn't have a lot of money, we didn't have great food, and both my parents worked. And so, you know, gourmet meals were not the top of the agenda, right? But the first time I left the house and had food with what they call flavor , the top of my head came off. I just loved it. And then when I traveled and had food in other countries, it was exponentially even better.

You've got the show coming up here in Ann Arbor, and part of it is a live Q&A. What kind of questions do you get asked from the audience? What is that portion of the show like, and how do you enjoy it?

It's my favorite part of every show. It's so much fun. I never know what I'm going to get asked. Some of the questions are hilarious. Some of them are wedding invitations, some of them are questions about the shirt I wear. So it's hysterical. Some of them are little kids that get up, they're my favorites. I love them, and they're not shy. They're great, and it's just adorable. It's the most fun, and we have the best time.

What's up with Season 8 of the show? Is it sketched out, and do you have a wish list that you're kind of always knocking off for cities to go to?

I do have a wish list. I don't know if there will be a Season 8, formally. I never know. But I always hope.

Even if there's not a show, are you still going to be going everywhere?

Of course I will, yeah. The truth is I would want to live my life this way, whether they film me or not.

What is the key to traveling? What's the best way to enjoy your time in any given spot?

Walk a lot, and plan certain things. Make sure you do a little research. Make sure you don't miss what's great about the place that they're famous for, it's famous for a reason. And you want to leave room in your schedule for stuff to just to happen to you.

And leave room in your stomach.

That's exactly right.
