EIGHT
EIGHT FORTY FIVE RIGHT NOW IN THE CDC HAS UPDATED TRAVEL GUIDELINES NOW PEOPLE WHO ARE
FULLY VACCINATED WITH AN FDA
AUTHORIZED VACCINE CAN TRAVEL
SAFELY WITHIN THE UNITED STATES
.AND NOW BEFORE YOU START
PACKING YOUR BAGS, AUTHOR
OF YOUR TRAVEL BUCKET LIST AS
GABEY JOINS US THIS MORNING TO
TALK ABOUT HOW WE CAN FEEL A
LITTLE BIT SAFE WITH THIS AND
MAYBE THE BEST PLACES TO TRAVEL
.THANK YOU FOR JOINING US THIS
MORNING. YOU'RE WELCOME. HAPPY
TO BE HERE. HAPPY TO TALK ABOUT
TRAVEL AGAIN. ALL RIGHT. SO
THIS IS SOMETHING BIG ON A LOT
OF PEOPLE'S BUCKET LIST RIGHT
THERE ARE VERY EXCITED. IT'S
KIND OF THAT THRILL OF GETTING
TO START BOOKING AIRLINE
TICKETS AND HOTELS. FIRST OFF,
WHAT ARE THOSE NEW UPDATED
GUIDELINES AS OF RIGHT NOW IF
SOMEONE'S MAKING A TRIP PLANNED
FOR SAY NEXT WEEKEND, SHOULD WE
STILL BE WEARING MASKS? WHAT'S
WHAT'S THE DEAL ON THAT? YES,
ABSOLUTELY. YOU WANT TO DO ALL
THE SAME SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
YOU'VE BEEN DOING BEFORE. MOST
IMPORTANTLY, YOU WANT TO HAVE A
VACCINE IF YOU CAN THIS NONE
OF THIS IS MANDATORY BUT THAT'S
WHAT THE CDC GAVE IN AND GAVE
THE GREEN LIGHT TO. SO IF YOU
HAVE VACCINATIONS AND YOU HAVE
A PERSONAL TRIP FOR BUSINESS
EVEN FOR SEEING FAMILY, YOU'VE
GOT THE GREEN LIGHT. NOW A LOT
OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN FLOATING
THIS IDEA AND QUESTION WHETHER
OR NOT THEY THINK AT SOME POINT
THERE'S GOING TO BE A
REQUIREMENT THAT YOU HAVE TO BE
VACCINATED IN ORDER TO TRAVEL
AT SOME POINT OR THERE'S GOING
TO BE A VACCINE PASSPORT FROM
WHO YOU'VE TALKED TO IN YOUR
EXPERIENCE, DOES THAT SEEM LIKE
THAT WILL HAPPEN? YEAH, IT
DOES. I MEAN IT'S ALREADY
STARTING TO HAPPEN IN EUROPE
AMOUNTS THAT THAT TRAVELING
WITHIN EUROPE. SO I BELIEVE WE
WILL HAVE THAT AS WELL. AND AS
FAR AS LOCATION SO PEOPLE
SHOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE GOING I
MEAN I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE
RIGHT NOW ARE KIND OF STARTING
OFF A LITTLE BIT LIKE MAYBE
PLANNING FOR THE CONTINENTAL US
RIGHT NOW. BUT AS FAR AS
INTERNATIONAL TRAVELERS GO,
SHOULD PEOPLE BE A LITTLE BIT
MORE CONCERNED ABOUT GOING
INTERNATIONAL RIGHT NOW OR DO
YOU THINK THAT IN TERMS
OF DOMESTIC OR INTERNATIONAL
IT'S JUST ABOUT THE SAME? WELL,
IT DEPENDS HOW YOU'RE PLANNING
YOUR TRIP. ARE YOU PLANNING
SOMETHING FOR THIS SUMMER OR
ARE YOU PLANNING SOMETHING FOR
NEXT SUMMER? SO SURELY NEXT
YEAR YOU SHOULD BE ABSOLUTELY
FINE TO TRAVEL AND PROBABLY
SOONER RIGHT NOW IF YOU'RE
LOOKING FOR A SUMMER VACATION.
YOUR BEST BET IS TO DO
SOMETHING IN THE CONTINENTAL US
OR IN THE CARIBBEAN OR SOUTH
AMERICA. THOSE PLACES ARE OPEN
THE BORDERS ARE ALREADY OPEN
AND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COMING
BACK SAFE AND HAPPY SUMMER
TRIPS AND YOUR BOOK YOUR TRAVEL
BUCKET LIST BOOK CAME OUT
DURING A PANDEMIC, RIGHT?
PEOPLE THINK THAT WAS CRAZY.
BUT I GOT TO TELL YOU IT MAKES
THE MOST SENSE BECAUSE WE HAVE
ALL BEEN DREAMING ABOUT TRAVEL
FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR, RIGHT?
YEAH. NOW'S THE TIME TO WRITE
DOWN THAT BUCKET LIST. ALL
THOSE PLACES YOU'VE BEEN
DREAMING ABOUT ONCE YOU START
PLANNING A SINGLE TRIP IT'S
ALMOST TOO LATE TO DO. YOU'RE
TOO INVOLVED IN THAT ONE TRIP.
SO NOW IS A GREAT TIME TO KIND
OF THINK ABOUT WHAT'S THE NEXT
SIX TO TEN TRIPS FOR YOU? WHAT
ARE THEY GOING TO LOOK LIKE?
HOW ARE WE GOING TO SPREAD THEM
OUT AND HOW ARE WE GOING TO
MAKE THEM THE BEST TRIPS WE CAN
POSSIBLY EVER HAVE? SO DO YOU
SEE SOME KEY SPOTS AS KIND
OF THE PLACES THAT MOST PEOPLE
ARE STARTING TO KIND OF BRANCH
OUT TO OUTSIDE OF THE US FOR
MAYBE NEXT SUMMER? YEAH, I MEAN
I HAVE BEEN BUSY HONESTLY ALL
YEAR BOOKING MEXICO AND THE
CARIBBEAN. ABSOLUTELY. AND I
THINK THAT THE REASON THOSE
PLACES WORK SO WELL IS THERE'S
SO MANY FUN EXPERIENCES YOU CAN
HAVE THERE. IT'S NOT JUST A
BEACH VACATION. IT'S YOU CAN
HAVE AN ADVENTURE VACATION. YOU
CAN HAVE A CULTURAL VACATION.
SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS TO GET
ACROSS OFF SOME OF THOSE THINGS
ON YOUR BUCKET LIST DO YOU
THINK CRUISES ARE GOING TO BE
SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING
TO GO BACK TO? I MEAN I KNOW
THERE WAS A LOT OF TALK AS SOON
AS THE PANDEMIC STARTED, YOU
KNOW, WITH THE CONCERN THAT I
PERSONALLY LOVE CRUISES. SO I'M
CURIOUS IF THIS IS SOMETHING
THAT YOU'VE SEEN AS SOMETHING
THAT WILL PICK UP AGAIN.
ABSOLUTELY. CRUISING HAS
ALREADY STARTED IN PARTS OF THE
CARIBBEAN SO THAT'S WONDERFUL.
AND THEN, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE
DIEHARD CRUISERS OUT THERE THAT
ARE GOING TO CRUISE EVERY
SUMMER AND THEN THERE ARE ALL
THOSE PEOPLE THAT GOT CREDITS,
YOU KNOW, THE CRUISE INDUSTRY
DID A GREAT THING LAST YEAR.
THEY GAVE EVERYBODY ONE HUNDRED
AND TWENTY FIVE PERCENT CREDIT
TO HOLD ON TO THEIR BOOKINGS
AND LOOK THIS YEAR. SO IF YOU
WANT TO GO ON A CRUISE NEXT
YEAR, NOW'S THE TIME TO BOOK.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE THERE'S
GOING TO BE A SURGE OF PEOPLE
LOOKING AND THERE'S ALREADY
ACTUALLY VERY FEW CABINS
AVAILABLE ON THE CRUISE SHIPS
THAT I BOOKED FOR NEXT SUMMER
AND THAT SEEMS TO BE THE CASE
THAT PEOPLE ARE REALLY KIND
OF DIVING IN WHO WE'RE LOOKING
AT VIDEO OF OF PEOPLE IN THE
WATER. SO DIVING IN FIGURATIVE
AND LITERALLY BUT WHAT YOU
KNOW, IT SEEMS LIKE PEOPLE ARE
STARTING TO REALLY FEEL
COMFORTABLE WITH THIS. IT WAS A
QUESTION THAT WE WERE ASKING TO
TRAVEL EXPERTS SAY TWO MONTHS
AGO AS TO WHETHER OR NOT PEOPLE
SHOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE MAKING
THOSE TRAVEL PLANS. BUT IT
SEEMS LIKE PEOPLE REALLY ARE
NOW RIGHT? YEAH. I MEAN WEAR
YOUR MASK AND WASH YOUR HANDS.
YOU KNOW, DO THE SAME
PRECAUTIONS. I THINK THE MOST
IMPORTANT THING YOU SHOULD ASK
YOURSELF REALLY IS DO I HOW
LONG DO I FEEL COMFORTABLE
WEARING A MASK? SO IF YOU'RE OK
ON A SIX HOUR FLIGHT WEARING A
MASK, TAKE A SIX HOUR FLIGHT
SOMEWHERE. I'M GOING TO NEW
YORK THIS AFTERNOON SO I'LL BE
WEARING MY MASK FOR GOOD SIX
HOURS. THERE WE GO. AND IF
PEOPLE HAVE MORE QUESTIONS, YOU
DO HAVE A ZOOM WORKSHOP THAT
CAN HELP THEM OUT RIGHT? YEAH.
I MEAN MY FAVORITE THING IN THE
WORLD IS TO PLAN A TRAVEL
BUCKET LIST WITH SOMEONE THAT'S
NOT BASED ON WHERE YOU WANT TO
GO. IT'S BASED ON WHAT KIND
OF EXPERIENCES YOU WANT TO
HAVE, WHAT KIND OF MEMORIES YOU
WANT TO CREATE, WHAT KIND
OF INTEREST YOU WANT TO
EXPLORE. SO WE'LL BE TALKING
ABOUT ALL THAT NEXT MONDAY AT
SIX O'CLOCK ON THEM AND YOU CAN
FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THAT IF YOU
HEAD OVER TO MY WEBSITE OR LOOK
UP MY BOOK YOUR TRAVEL BUCKET
LIST OR THE WEBSITE LUXURIATES
TRAVEL DOT COM SO IT'S X YOU
ARE ESTEY WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT
PICTURES AND VIDEOS OF ALL
THESE BEAUTIFUL TRAVEL
