COVID-19 has changed our world for today and honestly, probably for a very longtime to come; if not forever.

This pandemic has changed every part of our world. We now talk of how we live with this new enemy verses how to defeat it. It has truly changed the world as we once knew it and in some ways for the better. 

The travel industry, like many others, was hard hit with deaths, illness, staff reductions, closures and more. Service levels have definitely changed as resorts and suppliers struggle to maintain staff and revenue to keep going. I think the whole world is so tired of Rona!

The world is finding new ways to live with Rona and the travel world is no different, which is a very important fact to remember.

Travel today is very different that pre-Rona.

I know that you, like I, love to travel but there are new considerations when traveling and it’s very important that we all take time to consider all the many potential impacts. The situation is still very fluid with constant change and we still need to be prepared for temperature checks, required masks, required vaccinations, booster shots, required PCR tests 24 – 72 hours before departure and return,  wiping down flight seats, window seals and tables with disinfectant wipes, wearing gloves, quarantining in resorts and government facilities for 24 – 72 hours or possibly days. Each country utilizes different protocols for dealing with Covid-19 and there is no promise how things will change from one day to the next.  We must insure that our temperament and patience are ready for this new travel world that we are living in which brings last minute flight cancellations, last minute resort closures, less resort staff, frustrated and ill mannered workers and unexpected last minute Covid-19 diagnoses for the traveler.  

It’s all so overwhelming but we must pack our patience and evaluate the “what if” with every planned journey. We truly must be ready for anything, at anytime! Country protocols may change in the middle of your travel journey, destination establishments may have entry requirements on top of the country entry requirements, flights might be re-routed or even cancelled, a full list of resort and destination amenities and offerings may not be available or limited, airline & resort staff may be less than cooperative and in some cases lacking knowledge of current day entry requirements. It is now, more than ever, most important that we are informed as travelers. It is imperative that we read the fine print, understand the entry protocols, prepare and prepare again and become armed with travel knowledge and documentation.

2BusyNot2Travel is still traveling and attempting to Live Life to the Fullest within the requirements and constraints of travel but with new group traveler requirements. Of course our boutique group concept already helps by limiting the number of those you might be exposed to when traveling with a group but we are asking for our travelers to inform us of their status and stand regarding vaccinations so that we may always have every 2BusyNot2Travel travelers best interest at heart. We are still committed to fulfilling your wanderlust and to sharing our knowledge and advice regarding all things travel related and committed to future travel as we learn to live with this contagion and we ask for your partnership in helping all 2BusyNot2Travel travelers healthy.

As always, we are ready to support your future household travel plans by providing you well-organized and customized itineraries with affordable monthly payment plans. We are still here and we are in this thing together!
