Happy International Whale Shark Day! 🐋

Believe it or not, whale sharks are one of the largest fish in the sea! But they are gentle giants and while in Mexico, you have the opportunity to go on a tour with one of my favorite partners to swim with them. Would you?

Good news! The Biden administration is expected to announce Friday that the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will lift its requirement for travelers to test negative for Covid-19 before entering the US, according to a senior administration official. The move will go into effect for US-bound air travelers at midnight on Sunday.

Jumping on the Will/Chris bandwagon 😂 But this is the truth. Our advice, recommendations, support and coordination are usually free but travel agents get paid by the supplier (the hotel, etc). It costs no extra to you but ultimately, if you don’t use us then to book, we don’t get paid. Ppl who use travel agents, though, know our worth. Expedia certainly won’t have your back when you are stuck in the airport, but we do 💪

, , or ; this new cruise ship has got everything you could possibly want to stay and feel healthy. There are a variety of weights so you can leave stronger than you arrived, yoga to balance your chi, and cycling classes that rival your studio at home. I tried the bungee class and am still feeling it in my stomach two days later. 😂😬

The sailor bands have arrived! 4 more days 🛳 🤩. 🌴

I was invited for the day to experience the new Virgin Voyage Scarlet Lady cruise ship while it docks in NY before her “mermaiden” voyage from Miami so I can share it with you (and before I sail her in Oct and Dec!). Looking forward to seeing the rest but I haven’t made it past the restaurant yet! 😍

Starting July 8, U.S. travelers to Hawaii will no longer be subject to pre-travel testing and quarantine requirements if they show proof of Covid-19 vaccination. All restrictions for inter-island travel have been lifted.

The local high school is putting on a production of THE SPONGEBOB MUSICAL this weekend, and now that travel is finally coming back (wooo!), decided to put an ad in the playbill. We thought it was pretty clever! 🙂

Happy Easter! Things are starting to open back up - hoping to be back on this beach myself, soon.

Iceland invites you to send in your screams of frustration to help you alleviate some stress. Mine was broadcast in this peaceful place in North Iceland. :) https://lookslikeyouneediceland.com

Record your scream on their website and it will be released into Iceland’s beautiful, wide-open spaces. And when you’re ready, Iceland invites you to come let it out for real. You’ll feel better, we promise.

Walt Disney World Resort proposed plans for re-opening Magic Kingdom Park and Disney’s Animal Kingdom today. If approved by Orange County and Florida state, here's what they are suggesting in a nutshell:

🏰 Magic Kingdom Park and Disney’s Animal Kingdom to begin a phased reopening to the general public on July 11, followed by EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios on July 15.

😷 Staff as well as Guests 3 years of age and older will be required to wear appropriate face coverings in theme parks and common areas of resort hotels. (i know this wouldn't fly for most children...)

🐭 Guest capacity limitations, so reservations to the park would be required in advance.

🧚 Experiences that draw large group gatherings, such as parades and nighttime spectaculars, character meet-and-greets and open playgrounds, will not return immediately. TBD.

🌡 Temperature screenings prior to entering a theme park.

💰 Cashless payments recommended for in-park vendors.

Happy Friday, I think! Events & Travel may be at a standstill and I might not know what day it is anymore, but planning (and rescheduling) is still in full swing over here. I’m grabbing my daily endless cup of coffee then getting to work on helping a client move an event date and rearrange a group cruise itinerary for 2021. 🚢

I’m also using any downtime to focus on becoming a certified Disney expert, building a new website and connecting with suppliers to create “more intimate” destinations domestically (think Napa wine itineraries with private transfers, maybe national parks with your own guide, private houses/villas), since I feel many will want to travel but stay more state-side until covid19 is no longer such a concern.

If you are interested in learning about anything in particular, I would love to know and i’ll add it to the list! Here’s to productivity and progress, even in times of uncertainty.

Today is International Jazz Day! Last year at this time, I was in New Orleans at the 50th annual Jazz Fest where I treated myself to the Big Chief VIP experience. This included a few spots with front and backstage access, private transportation to and from the fairgrounds, a lounge with food/nice bathrooms, special seating and bar areas with no lines. Sometimes that little extra expense for a more personal experience makes a huge difference. And why not, YOLO! For fun, here are a few highlights because while we can’t physically go anywhere (yet!), we can still dream it up and plan for later. I’m personally looking forward and hoping to see Nola and Jazz Fest again in 2021.

And once the world is ready, I’d be happy to help plan and create your new memories - travel packages around festivals/sporting events, family trips, wine country visits ... it’s limitless and as an agent, my help is complementary. Of course, if you are secretly looking forward to a friends only group trip or some solo travel, I wouldn’t blame you for a second and am already working on making connections and recommendations in the down time (I expect both to be popular choices!).

The new policy will go into effect on May 4, with every JetBlue passenger being required to cover their nose and mouth during check-in, boarding, in-flight and while deplaning. Small children are exempt.

Canada already had this policy, and Emirates as well. So far, no other US airline is requiring this - yet - just for the crew. AA just said they are simply handing masks and sanitizing wipes to those who want it.

Would you rather have the choice or be required to wear a mask on your flight?

JetBlue will require travellers to wear a face covering over their nose and mouth throughout their journey, starting from May 4.

A little quarantine fun. What you get? 🤔

“Right now, the desire to move and explore has been replaced by the need to stay still and keep each other safe.”
“The time to travel will come again, and when it does, we know we’ll appreciate it more than ever. In the meantime, stay safe and dream big about where we’ll go together when the time is right.”
- Virgin Voyages

Travel fulfills us, it connects us and it makes us feel alive — it’s why we do what we do.
But right now, the desire to move and explore has been replaced by the need to stay still and keep each other safe. In the end, it’s an equally worthwhile journey, and one we’re all in together.
The time to travel will come again, and when it does, we know we’ll appreciate it more than ever. In the meantime, stay safe and dream big about where we’ll go together when the time is right.
