What to Expect When Traveling During
This Crazy Time
Gone are the times of empty terminals and inexpensive flights. The travel industry is booming as countries begin the process of opening up in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, airlines and airport staff are challenged with meeting demand while taking extra steps to ensure the saftey of travelers. So use my favorite tips for traveling during this crazy time so you can sit back, relax and enjoy the in-flight movie.

  • Book early...like now for 2021/2022 and into 2023 & beyond!
  • Be flexible, everyone is doing their best!
  • Arrive at airport early
  • Carry paper and electronic copies of all documents
  • Use the mobile app for your airline to speed up the check in process and get updates on possible flight delays
  • Board the plane only when your group is called, not before
  • Know your destination arrival/departure requirements
  • Check your passport expiration date now
  • Pack your patience!
  • Be nice to everyone!
  • USE A TRAVEL ADVISOR!

Seem like a lot? Don't worry about the details and leave the travel planing to me so all you have to do is make the decision to GO!

My Next Adventure: Portugal!
Guess who's headed to Portugal with AmaWaterways next month? I will be setting sail on the Enticing Douro itinerary for a Travel Advisor familiarization trip.

There will be ambling vineyards and charming native farms that cling to the steep sides of the Douro River Valley, creating an incomparable backdrop to one of Europe’s most unspoiled regions and to Port country— the world’s oldest demarcated wine region.

My goal is to be able to provide you with some first-hand insight into the AmaWaterways river cruise line and their health and safety procedures so I can show you what it looks like to travel in Europe now that many countries are open to overseas travelers again. But, let's not forget, I'll also be tasting wines from historic wineries and soaking up the genuine beauty of one of Europe’s most unadulterated landscapes. I AM SO EXCITED!!!

Are you curious about European river cruises?

Dream Getaways for You and Your Partner

“Wendy helped us make a dream trip come true! My husband and I have wanted to visit Alaska for many years. She worked diligently to figure out exactly what we were looking for, even when we didn’t know ourselves. She was relentless working with vendors and providers to make sure we received fantastic deals with outstanding extras that helped make the trip over the top. From the planning to the finalizing of details, to those extra little surprises – Wendy did a fantastic job for us. Would definitely use her services again.”

Wellness Travel & the After Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic
According to Travel Weekly, "Travel may be bouncing back, but for travelers dealing with the aftermath of a loss or major life change, a vacation may no longer represent a simple getaway but be seen as a conduit to mental, emotional or spiritual healing. 

Anne Scully, partner of agent development at Embark Beyond, reports that she’s certainly seen a shift in the type of support clients are seeking as they emerge from the depths of the pandemic."
