As 2021 winds down, and you sit down to plan 2022 out here are some ideas for travel in 2022.⁠
⁠
If you prefer to stay close to home, explore the Caribbean islands such as Barbados, St Lucia, St Kitts & Nevis, Barbados or Anguilla.⁠
⁠
Perhaps Europe is your thing. Greece, Croatia, Italy and Portugal are still popular.
⁠
For culture, history, sightseeing and beach in Europe I recommend Sardinia, Cinque Terre, Portofino and Sicily.⁠
⁠
What about Africa? Think Morocco and Egypt, countries that are rich in culture and adventure. Tanzania, Kenya and Zanzibar for wildlife and island vacation.⁠
⁠
Looking for magnificent tropical escapes, then Bali and Phuket are destinations known for their pristine beaches.⁠

Do you know the entry requirements for the country you are traveling to? Here are few helpful guidelines for your next trip⁠.⁠
⁠
So you have finally selected your destination. You are excited to get started with your planning. Here are my tips for ensuring that you are completely prepared for your international vacation:⁠
⁠
🛫 Passport validity: As a general rule, ensure that your passport has at least 6 months of validity. The vast majority of countries will not allow travelers to enter unless your passport is set to expire 6 months after your return date back into the country of origin.⁠
⁠
🏝 Vaccinations⁠: Plan to check with your travel clinic or physician at least 6 weeks prior to travel regarding vaccine requirements. Vaccinations need to be administered well ahead to ensure adequate protection. Some clinics only keep a limited stock of certain vaccines, such as yellow fever. Be sure to check well in advance that your clinic has availability and appointments.⁠
⁠
⛱Travel documents: Make a copy of all your travel documents and leave one with a trusted friend or relative in case of emergency.⁠
⁠⁠
⁠🧳 Covid requirements: Check with the embassy of the country you intend traveling to regarding their Covid entry requirements, testing and quarantine rules.⁠ Check with the hotel if they can assist with linking you to covid testing locations for your return trip to the USA.⁠
⁠⁠
🛫 Airline requirements⁠: Each airline has their own Covid requirements for international travel. Please be sure to check with them regularly as requirements may change at short notice.⁠
⁠
🌆Visa: Check with the embassy or consulate regarding visa requirements. They will have the most up to date entry requirements.⁠
