I don't know about you but I cannot wait to get back on a cruise!   The CDC announced last night that the no sail order will expire 10/31.   I do hope that means cruising in the US will get started again in November!   Some cruse ships have been sailing the Mediterranean since August and has been pretty much smooth sailing so far.   There are new rules in place to cruise but there are new rules everywhere now so I am OK with that.   One family on the first cruise to start up in the Mediterranean learned the hard way that these rules are strict and put in place for everyone's safety.  They were told if you go on shore you have to stay with the tour group and if you don't you will not be allowed back onboard.  They didn't follow the rule and wandered of so therefore not allowed back on the ship.  I totally agree with this policy and glad to see the cruise line stuck to it.  
​
Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA)—the industry association representing 95% of all ocean-going cruise capacity globally—announced that its member lines have agreed to a common set of mandatory health protocols.
​Here is a list of the new protocols that will most likely be put in place when cruising in the US does start again - 

• Mandatory COVID-19 testing of 100% of passengers and crew prior to embarkation (although the precise timing and type of testing isn’t specified)
• Mandatory mask-wearing by guests and crew whenever physical distancing can’t be maintained, both onboard and on excursions
• Implementation of physical distancing measures in terminals, onboard ships, and on shore excursions (including private islands)
• Air management and ventilation strategies to increase fresh air onboard, where feasible, using enhance filters and other technologies
• Enhanced medical capability, tailored to each ship, to manage medical needs, including dedicated cabin capacity for isolation and other measures, and arrangements with private providers for shoreside quarantine, medical facilities and transportation
• Only permitting shore excursions that meet cruise operators’ prescribed protocols, with required passenger compliance

​  Universal Studios which always goes all out for the extremely popular Halloween Horror nights which is celebrating 30 years had to cancel this year's Horror Nights.  Normally Halloween Horror nights require a separate ticket to get into the park on select nights for all the scary Halloween fun.  Since they had to cancel Universal is trying out a smaller version of the event and are including it in regular park admission.   From the Universal website -  
There are two heart-pounding haunted houses in Universal Studios—Revenge of the Tooth Fairy and Universal Monsters: The Bride of Frankenstein Lives—so you can get your scream on. You can take your kids trick-or-treating in Islands of Adventure. Plus, you can all dress in costumes throughout the resort to get in the sinister spirit of the season. 
This past weekend was the first test of this new version of Halloween Horror and the 2 houses reached capacity very quickly.   Hopefully this means they will conture to offer it every weekend.   There are also 2 other Halloween things to check out while in the parks - The Horror Make-up Show and the Halloween Horror Nights Tribute Store.  Plus if you are not able to make it to Orlando this year you can still pick up some of the horrific items from the online tribute store.

If really scary isn't your thing or you have young kids then Sea World's Spooktacular might be more your speed.   As in year's past this event is offered on weekends and included in your park admission.   The park has made some adjustments but for the most part it will seem similar to last year.  Over the summer Sea World added a Drive-in Movie Experience that was available most weekends and offered a flat rate per car to attend.  They are extending this experience and now calling it Flicks and Frights  The schedule features lots of classic scary movies along with some kid friendly ones too.  From the Sea World website - 
It’s the perfect season for a spooky movie under the stars at SeaWorld. Drive in for a nostalgic experience that starts with enjoying locally sourced food trucks and ends with watching a classic Halloween feature from the comfort and safety of your car.

Disney World cancelled all of the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween parties this year and of the 3 main parks in Orlando they seem to be doing the least Halloween themed stuff.   Disney is calling it Fall into Magic They are allowing all guests to dress in costumes thru 10/31 (normally only children are allowed to dress in costume to visit the park on a regular day).   They are still going to have Fall decor, Halloween themed merchandise and seasonal treats along with some special entertainment and photo opportunities throughout the park.  From the Disney website - 

• Special Appearances – Be on the lookout for some beloved Characters sporting their favorite Halloween costumes during special cavalcades down Main Street, U.S.A.
• Cadaver Dans – Be enchanted by a cappella performances from the Cadaver Dans when they emerge from their tombs—another special treat for the Halloween season. 

I would be happy to help you plan your Halloween theme park adventure!  All 3 of Orlando's Theme Parks offer on site accommodations and are running some fall special offers right now.  Please keep in mind all parks are limiting capacity and most require an advanced reservation.

  I love doing research on travel - which is really why I became an agent.   It isn't just guidebooks and facts about the locations that I enjoy but I also love finding good fiction books that include the destination I am traveling to.  Or in reverse I love to travel to a place I read about in a great book.  My love of books played a big part in me starting the non-cruise portion of my agency called Pop Culture Vacations.   I wanted to focus on some places that play a big role in popular books and help others plan vacations to visit those places so they really feel like they are walking in the footsteps of their favorite character.
   I recently came across a fun website - https://www.tripfiction.com/  If you are looking for a book that is based in the destination you are planning to travel to you can easily search this site for recommendations.   They offer both fiction and non-fiction.   They even break it down by genre so you can search for just the type of book you prefer.  I personally like to look for something with a little bit of legend or myths about the destination.   My husband prefers the historical fiction.
  If you are not sure where you want to travel next maybe you could be inspired by reading.   If you are looking for some good travel fiction check out - www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/travel-fiction

   I think not be able to travel is starting to take a toll on my brain - I am actually looking at moving as a fun distraction right now!   I know I must be going crazy if I think moving sounds like fun.  That got me thinking about the health benefits to travel and travel does wonders for your mental health.   I think I am in need of some travel ASAP!

For the past few months we have been staying home for the overall health of everyone but let's not forget all the actual health benefits of travel.  There have been many studies that prove that travel benefits not only our physical health but our mental health as well.  

Here are 4 proven ways that travel is good for our health

#1 Planning Travel Makes You Happy
  When we look forward to doing something fun, it triggers a release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that helps control the brain's reward and pleasure centers.  This helps explain why simply having a vacation on the horizon tends to make us happier.  A study in 2014 from Cornell University discovered that people get more happiness from anticipating a travel experience than from anticipating possession of something they’re going to buy or acquire.  Now is a great time to start planning your next trip because I am sure we could all use some happiness right about now!  Personally I am planning about 4 of my own trips - sure they were all ones that had to be rescheduled but just being able to keep planning for them helps.

#2 Travel Is Good For Your Heart
  Tourists can walk as much as ten miles a day sightseeing!   I know from experience we had a day in Rome where we walked over 30,000 steps in a day (there are about 2,000 steps per mile so that means we walked about 15 miles).   Travelers are also more likely to try new activities while on their trips, such as hiking, paddleboarding and snorkeling.  These activities boost physical and mental health.
According to the World Heart Federation, moderate exercise lowers your risk of heart attack by 30% to 50%. So, yes, science agrees that you are doing yourself a big favor when you embrace travelling.
Another study found that women who vacation at least twice a year show a significantly lower risk of suffering a heart attack than those who only travel every six years or so.  The same is true for men. Men who do not take an annual vacation show a 20 percent higher risk of death and 30 percent greater risk of heart disease.

#3 - Travel Relieves Stress
Travelling isn’t always about seeing new places. Sometimes it’s about escaping old ones. According to a 2013 Stress in America survey by the American Psychological Association, vacations can help manage stress and negative emotions by removing us from environments and activities that are the sources of our stress.   
Getting away from the stresses of everyday life is important to protect your overall health. Stress is a silent killer. It raises your blood pressure, and your whole mental health will be affected. The stress hormones cloud the judgment and affect the release of happy hormones.  When you travel, you are boosting the release of happy hormones to take over the stress hormones. 

#4 Travel Helps Your Brain
Travel has been shown to help improve the brain health. There’s the ability to challenge yourself daily, making you think of alternate options and learn new things. You constantly expand your horizons, meaning that your brain is constantly on the go.  This isn’t a bad thing. In fact, training your brain regularly helps to improve its longevity.  
In Soft-Wired: How the New Science of Brain Plasticity Can Change Your Life, Dr. Michael Merzenich — known as "the father of brain plasticity" — explains the importance of getting outside our comfort zone and embracing the unfamiliar. People who travel to new places, keep learning languages and continue to experience new things into old age, are far less likely to develop cognitive decay, according to Merzenich's weighty body of research.  Want to maximize your brain's neuroplasticity?  A change of scenery wakes up your brain and takes it off autopilot. You have to think about small things when you're in an unfamiliar place, which is entirely the point. Learn a few words of a different language, take a walking tour, or even something as simple as trying a new food can get those neurons firing.

All of these studies and more just prove that travel is important for our mind, body, and soul.    

  I cannot wait to cruise again!   Believe it or not social distancing is so easy on a cruise! For me vacation is all about relaxation so I am always seeking out the quiet places to relax and just get away from people.  You could say I was researching social distancing even before it was required.   I know some people might think that there is no way you could find quiet uncrowded places on a cruise ship but I have always found lots of quiet options on my cruises.  Yes even on mega cruise ships with over 5,000 people onboard I was able to find quiet places away from lots of other people. 
​ 
So if you are like me and ready to jump onboard as soon as the ships start sailing again -

Here are 4 Easy Ways to Social Distance on a Cruise

#1 - Your Room -  I don't always think it makes sense to splurge on a balcony room but right about now it seems like a great way to get your own outside deck space.  If you really want to splurge go for a suite to give yourself even more space to enjoy without other guests.  Some cruise lines also offer special areas onboard just for suite guests so you get even more places to be able to social distance.   
Sure you could go to a hotel or all inclusive resort and get a nice room but your view will never change while you are staying in that room whereas on a cruise you could see something new out your window all the time.

#2 - Room Service - Want to avoid the dining room?  Most cruise lines offer free room service so eating in the comfort of your room is easy.    Again this is where having the balcony comes in handy so you can even enjoy eating outside from your own room. 

#3 - The Spa - I cannot think of a better place to social distance and relax!   Either with a spa treatment or if the ship offers a relaxation room you can buy a pass to it is always quiet and not crowded.

#4 - Extra Charge Private Areas - Many ships now have some exclusive areas just for guests that choose to pay a little more to access these areas.  These might be a private cabana or a private area on deck.   I tried out the Sanctuary on Princess Cruise and it was totally worth the cost!  
​
Cruise ships have been adding new technology that will help too, like being able to order a drink or food from anywhere you are instead of having to go up to the bar or get in line for food.   

I also find if you explore the ship you can find lots of other corners of quiet either on an upper deck away from the pool, or maybe the library.   One of my favorites is if the ship has a middle deck that that is open to the outside where you can sometimes walk around the whole ship outside.   Do you have a favorite spot you have found while cruising?

Yes there are some areas or times on a cruise where social distance might be a challenge and I will talk about those next week.    

    Souvenirs are a wonderful way to remember past vacations and also the fun you had finding that souvenir.    Sometimes finding that perfect memento becomes part of your vacation adventure and sometimes you might just happen upon the perfect thing accidentally.   I have noticed there tends to be a few different types of souvenir shoppers.  Which one are you?


#1 - The collector.  If you have a specific item you like to bring back from every vacation then you are a collector.   Your shopping is a little easier because you know what you are looking already.  Although I guess sometimes being a collector can get tricky if you just cannot seem to find the item you collect at your destination.   Collections can be a good way to easily look back at all the many places you have traveled but does it become more about the collection than the memories of the places you went?

#2 - The tacky tourist.   Sorry to say it but if you love those cheap souvenir shops where everything sold in that store is plastered with the name of the city or country everywhere then you are tacky.   Sure the cheap junk makes it easy to bring back lots of stuff but does any of that really have meaning and will it make you remember anything from your vacation?   Will the people you bring it back for even keep it for long?   All that being said I will admit I still go on those stores too.
​
#3 - The it has to be authentic shopper.  If you only want to bring back authentic, locally made, responsibly sourced items you are this type.  You do your research before your trip to find out what your destination is most known for and you plan to track that down.  While I do think these type of souvenirs have the most meaning they do also take a bit more work to find and they will cost you more.   I do try to be this type of shopper but I am not set on only buying this type of stuff.  
When in Camargue, France last year I loved that the Camargue  Cross was very similar to my logo.   While we were shopping that day we came across a shop selling porcelain art, including some in the shape of the Camargue Cross.   The shop owner explained the meaning of the symbol - the anchor means hope, the heart means charity, and the cross means faith.   She also explained that a local artist makes all the porcelain right in town and mentioned a little on the history of French porcelain.   I hadn't sought out to buy something porcelain in France because it is authentic to the region but was glad I ended up with something very local.  It is hanging in my office and it a great reminder of a really fun trip. 

#4 - The I will know it when I see it shopper.  If you tend to just happen upon something while traveling that you just think oh that is it, then you are this type.   Your souvenirs might seem totally random to anyone else but to you they have meaning.  I tend to be this type of shopper and sometimes it stinks when you just don't find anything that really speaks to you.   I really want to find something I love and will remind me of the vacation even if it might not totally be something that has any connection to the area. 
 I have this keychain I bought on my first visit to Holland.   We were shopping in a little local shop and they had one of those displays with keychains that have names.   All the names were Dutch so it wasn't like I was looking for one but for some reason one just popped out at me.  It seemed kind of silly to buy a keychain with a girl's name that wasn't mine or even in my language but it spoke to me so I bought it.  After we came out of that store a group of school age girls came up to us asking if we spoke English.   When we said yes they asked if we could help them with a school assignment to practice English.   We of course were happy to take part.  5 years later I still have that keychain on my keys and it always reminds me of the group of girls we helped with their English.

​No matter which type of shopper you are it is just nice to have some reminders of your past vacations around especially right now.

If you think you might be all of the above and just really love shopping of any kind let me know and I might be able to suggest some shopping tours for your next vacation.

 I think breakfast might be my favorite meal, well that is unless you count dessert as a meal.   I am the type of person that really needs at least a little something to eat before I can really start my day.   I always love when a hotel that has breakfast buffet.   I was worried that Covid might have killed the hotel breakfast but I am happy to say that from my past 3 hotel stays it is not dead yet! 

​  Part of my job is staying on top of everything travel related and right now a big part of that is knowing how things in the travel world are changing to deal with Covid19.  

   Most of the big Hotel chains have been advertising what steps they are taking to keep guests safe during their stay.  While it all sounds great I wondered how it would be in person and how they are making sure each individual hotel is doing the same things.   In the past 90 days I have stayed in 3 hotels in 3 states that were all all part of the same big chain.   I can say even though I felt safe staying in them, all 3 were doing things a little differently.  The interesting part is that the breakfast area was the one that had least uniformity among the 3 hotels I stayed in.  

 The first hotel I stayed in was in Colorado and this was back in May so things probably have changed a bit since then.   Back in mid May Colorado was not yet allowing any indoor dining so the hotel had closed the seating area but they were still offering some of the breakfast options.  Everything was pre-packaged and ready to just take back to your room.   If you wanted coffee you did have to wait for an employee to serve that for you.  My guess is that once indoor dining was allowed to resume in the state the hotel probably returned to allowing guests to sit and eat in the dining area but have spaced the tables out.

   Our second hotel stay was in North Carolina in June.   Funny thing here was that North Carolina was not yet allowing indoor dining but the hotel did have the seating area open for you eat your breakfast or any other food and drink you might have brought in during your stay.   The breakfast offerings here were also very surprising to me as it looked almost as if nothing had really changed here.   They still had out the hot dishes for self serve like the eggs, bacon, and oatmeal.  The cereal was also still the large canisters where you turn the handle to dispense the amount you want.  I have to admit this was the one time of all the hotel stays where I felt like it was more up to the guest to use their judgement as to what they felt was safe or not.

 Third stay was in upstate New York and this one was probably most like what the hotel chain is aiming for.  Tables in the dining area were very well spaced apart and it was obvious that they had removed some tables.    Breakfast was limited to just pre-packaged options where even the cereal was the type that was already sealed in a bowl.  Coffee was self serve which I think makes more sense than having to talk to someone to explain how you want your coffee.  While we were having breakfast we did see someone come out and clean everything multiple times.   
 
   I am very happy to see how the hotels are adapting to the changes and doing everything they can to keep guests feeling safe while still being able to provide something similar to what we are used to getting.  

   I don't know about you but when I hear road trip I always think of National Lampoon's Vacation (the original with Chevy Chase of course).  As a kid we packed up the good old Dodge Van and headed south from Philly to Florida many times.  It was always an adventure and I fondly remember those South of the Border billboards.  Luckily for us we never had to worry about the theme park being closed when we got there back then but now is a whole different story,   There actually is a pretty good chance that your favorite summer destination might have some closures or new rules.   While up in Lake George recently we  noticed that Six Flags park there was not open yet and from what it sounded like it might not open at all this summer.

Now with everything going on, driving to your summer vacation destination is a bit easier and less stressful for most people than flying.   Having done both recently I will say the drive was better.   Sure flying was faster but having to deal with all the new rules and worries about who might be too close to you and getting stuck somewhere just isn't fun.

Recently we packed up the car and headed north from Florida all the way up to Lake George, NY for my mother in law's 80th birthday.   We did make a few pit stops along the way to break things up though.  You might not be planning to go 1500 miles for your road trip but either way here are some tips to help you navigate the new rules of the road this summer.   

#1 - Be sure to check and recheck the current rules for the states you plan to visit and also just drive through.  Google maps can help with this.  When we left Florida we checked all of the states we would be going through just to see what the polices were for dining and things like that.  When we left Florida New York didn't have any rules about visitors from Florida but as we got closer to NY we started hearing about the possibility of requiring a self quarantine for visitors from Florida.   Luckily we  got there before that rule went into effect but that is why you need to always check again.  

#2 - Plan out your rest stops as best you can in advance.   Yes there is an app for that -  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.insofttech.reststops&hl=en_US  We did a quick search just to know if any along our route might be closed so we could plan ahead.   Gas stations might also be a good place to combine your rest stop with a fill up for the car as well but not all gas station bathrooms are created equal.   Here is a link to a 2018 article on best gas station bathrooms by state.   Personally I have found Wawa, Racetrac, and Cumberland Farms to have nice bathrooms.   

#3 - Don't count on being able to dine inside everywhere.  Not all states have opened indoor dining yet so you might have to plan to eat either at an outside table or in the car while eating on the road.   This also goes back to your rest stop planning as well since you might not even be able to enter some dining locations so that also means no bathroom break at those.   We ran into this in North Carolina on our way through and we really hadn't thought of that in advance.  

#4 - Book your place to stay in advance.  In the past you might have been able to just pull off and find a hotel when you got tried but that isn't a good idea this year.   Not all hotels have reopened and others might be limiting the rooms they have available to allow for new cleaning procedures and social distancing.  If you are used to camping in the summer be sure to check on that as well as some parks are only open to guests traveling in an RV that has its own bathroom because they are not opening facilities.   Some campgrounds might not be opening at all this summer.    

#5 - Pack more than what you think you might need.   If you want to try and avoid your chances of coming into contact with people while on the road, plan to pack more than you might usually, this way you lessen your chances of needing to stop for something.   For example if you don't want to worry about needing to stop for something to eat along the way, plan ahead and pack some sandwiches and drinks to have in the car.   The nice part about traveling by car is there are no restrictions on what you can't travel with, well except for maybe the size of your trunk.  

#6 - Don't forget to pack the new items that were not on your list previous years like face masks and hand sanitizer.   It is a good idea to pack extra masks in case you lose one or get caught out in the rain.  

#7 - As always it is best to have your car checked out by a mechanic before hitting the road to be sure your car's health is good as well.

 Many things will be different for awhile when it comes to travel but different doesn't always mean bad.  A couple good things are smaller crowds and cleaner places. Today I am focusing on how Disney Theme Parks will be different for awhile.
Disney has made many announcements over the past few days and it can be hard to keep up with them all.  If you are thinking of a Disney vacation in the near future you will need to weigh a few things to decide if it is the best for you to go now or wait until things return to more like they used to be.   There is good and bad to both options.   

Here are 5 things you will need to keep in mind when planning your next Disney vacation.

#1 - Disney is limiting the number of guests allowed in the park each day.   They have implemented a park reservation system in the My Disney Experience where you can log in to reserve your park days.   These will be required for awhile so best to log in as soon as possible to book your days.   The good part of this is there won't be huge crowds in the parks for awhile.   As of right now Disney is taking park reservations through 2021.

#2 - Not everything will be coming back when the parks reopen.   For the foreseeable future there won't be extra magic hours, fastpass, parades, or fireworks.  As of now there will not be any dining plans available to add to your vacation package (I have heard there is a good chance dining plans will come back sometime in 2021 though).  Park Hopping is not available for 2020 but looks to be coming back in 2021 at least as of now but all things Disney are always subject to change.  Disney also has not made any announcements for the water parks reopening yet so they might also stay closed for the rest of 2020.   While most of the Disney resorts will be reopened by the end of 2020 there a few exceptions.   The three All Star Resorts along both of the Port Orleans and Wilderness Lodge are currently not scheduled to reopen before 2021.  

#3 - Masks and temperature checks are here to stay at least into 2021.   There will be places designated that you can go and remove your mask and take a break around the parks.  You also will not have to wear a mask while swimming or eating.  Taking more breaks at the resort will be a good way to avoid mask fatigue.    One tip is to bring multiple masks since you will want fresh ones and also might need a replacement if you get caught in the rain or lose one while riding an attraction.  Disney will of course also be selling some fun themed masks as well.

#4 - Going contactless is going to be big.   Whenever possible Disney is making things as contactless as possible.   That does mean we will all be relying on our mobile devices for a lot more things.  Disney is pretty much going to require you to have the app on at least one mobile device per travel party.   The app will let you do things like check in for your resort and go right to your room without having to visit the front desk.   You can chat with guest services via the app.   You can use the app for getting into the parks (no more free magic bands starting 1/1/21).  You can order food for many counter service locations via the app.  Some menus are even going digital where you scan the QR code to get the menu on your phone.  You can also use your phone to tap to pay for things.  One tip I have for this is to always make sure your phone is fully charged when you head out to the parks and having a portable charger will be a big help too.

#5 - Now more than ever it is a good time to enlist the talent of a Disney Travel Specialist like myself and my team at Pop Vacations!   I have been booking magical Disney vacations for almost 19 years so I know how to stay on top of all the information you will need to make your visit as stress free as possible.

I don't know about you but I cannot wait to be able to travel again.   I will of course use commonsense and caution when we are given the green light to move about the world again.   Travel is something that won't go away but it will change after all of this.   Just like after 9/11 some changes were made in order to keep us safer and most are still with us today.  As we slowly start to reopen in phases we will start to see some of these changes and ideas come out and some will work and some won't.  Some of these changes may end of being permanent while others might be just around until there is a vaccine.   No matter what the key is to start getting back to somewhat normal.  

Here are 7 changes to the way we used to travel:
 
#1 Face Masks
 JetBlue was first to announce that as of May 4 all passengers will be required to wear a face mask in order to fly.  I have a feeling other airlines will follow and Canadian authorities have already mandated that anyone flying through Canadian airports must cover their nose and mouth.    As much as I am not a fan of the face mask I would wear it if it means I can travel.   Here is a link to each airline's current policy

#2 Social Distancing
This one could get tricky at places like theme parks but there are already talks of how the theme parks could start using virtual lines and then when you do have to actually enter the attraction line there will be places marked on the ground showing you where to stand so that you are staying far enough apart.  
Another way to distance will be allowing less people into the parks or onto cruise ships.   I have heard that when cruising starts again the ships will be sailing with a lot less guests in order to give everyone more room.  I have also seen theme parks talking about limiting the number of guests per day.  
Airlines are saying they plan to do things like leave the middle seats open and try to keep passengers as spread out as possible.  I have even seen an idea for how airplanes might change seating configurations so that the middle seat faces the other direction and there are some sort of plexiglass partitions.  I don't know if I see that happening anytime soon but maybe flying will somehow become a little more comfortable after all this.  

#3 Relaxed Cancellation and Change Policies
This is one I would like to see stick around but doubt it will.   At least for now the airlines, cruise lines, and most hotels are offering much better cancellation and change policies.  This way you are able to book now and if things are not better or you are feeling sick you can cancel or change without losing all your money.   Cruise lines have already said that if a guest is not feeling well even the day the cruise is to start they can cancel and won't lose everything.  They would rather people didn't travel while sick just because they don't want to lose their money.    I really like this change because it allows us all to plan something to look forward to but at the same time know we are not going to be severely penalized if it doesn't work out.

#4 Temperature Scans and Health Checks
Before the cruises stopped sailing many had started to take guest temperatures at boarding and would deny anyone with a fever.  I have heard that most will continue this practice when cruising starts again.   I have even heard plans for the ports to be set up with a scanning feature that you walk through as you enter to check in for the cruise.  Both guests and crew will be checked before boarding.  I have heard this could be something that goes beyond just cruising but also to the theme parks and maybe even the airports.  We might also have to fill out a heath questionnaire similar to what we had to do before boarding a cruise but that could now apply to all forms of travel.
