Traveling Post Covid-19

Post Covid-19 Protocols and tips

I am sure that many of you had fun and exciting travel plans going into 2020 like I did, but the last few months have caused us all to cancel and reschedule.  I should have been doing Facebook live updates on location from tropical destinations, but instead the last three months I have found myself in my office every day helping my clients reschedule if possible, cancel if necessary, track down refunds – in my thirty years of business I have never had to break so many bride and groom’s hearts by rescheduling their destination wedding, rescheduling honeymoons and postponing milestone family celebrations.  Funny, many think I haven’t been busy since my clients can’t travel, but in reality I have never been busier just keeping in touch with my clients, spending hours on hold trying to reach vendors, keeping up with what is happening with airlines, destinations, hotels all while not getting paid, as travel agents do not get paid till our clients travel.

After participating in countless webinars, skype sessions, conference calls these are a few of the questions I can answer at this point.

  • Are airlines requiring passengers to wear masks?  Yes – Each airline will list on their website their requirements to board, so check with your airline on a regular basis for any updates. ** FAA won’t require face-coverings but the airlines will – so make sure to only get your information from the airline directly to avoid being denied boarding.
  • Are destinations that have reopened requiring arriving passengers to take a covid19 test or travel with a  negative covid19 test form to present upon arrival? yes, each destination is busy putting out information on their tourist board websites and on social media
  • Has the USA passport agency began to process the back log of passport applications as a result of the covid19 shut down? yes

Some links that you might find helpful as you try to navigate planning your travel post Covid19 , these are changing daily and I will update the blog post on a regular basis with official information.

All storms pass eventually, and thank goodness there is light at the end of the tunnel as tropical destinations are opening up or preparing to. While there are many protocols still to learn and I am sure that many of those that have been announced will change as needed ,I just wanted to take a moment to share with you some of what I know thus far.

Focus on the Journey – not the Diagnosis

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month as most of you know, and I wanted to take this opportunity to share a few words about my personal entry into the army of pink. As a professional travel agent planning countless special anniversary trips, honeymoons and destination weddings, I had often thought about my  25th wedding anniversary this […]

What Linda’s Clients Say…

Just returned from Hawaii ( Maui) for our wedding and honeymoon. Or as Linda put it "weddingmoon".

Everything was perfect. Linda's attention to detail was exceptional. I was a little hesitant using an agent over the internet. She kept in close contact via phone and email. I couldn't have ask for more from a local travel agent.

I had dates and hotel in mind when I contacted her. Not only did she make my itinerary reality... she beat the price of a popular travel company.

After working with her, she mentioned she books for "non wedding" vacations as well. And is an expert in Caribbean as well as Hawaii. So we will be using her for our next Caribbean vacation as well. I highly recommend her. When planning a trip of such magnitude, you want peace of mind. Linda will provide this and so much more.

Sincerely,
Patty & Dell

LINDA DANCER is BY FAR the BEST travel agent and wedding coordinator out there!

I originally stumbled upon Linda while googling for some wedding help to plan a wedding in Kauai Hawaii and boy did I luck out! I got a hold of Linda and from day 1 she was nothing but helpful, kind, understanding, and patient! Linda first asked me what I had pictured for my dream wedding and I gave her an idea that was all over the map because I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted yet. My only requirement was somewhere grassy near the beach. I was worried because I am a full time student again, and my now husband had an emergency surgery that stole nearly our entire wedding budget, so I wasn't sure if our dream wedding in Kauai could even happen on such a small budget.

Linda told me anything was possible and immediately came back with many affordable suggestions, pictures, ideas, and options. Linda went above and beyond....not only did she suggest a bunch of places, but she contacted ALL of the places I was interested in to see if my wedding on a tight budget could even happen.  She worked with all of them, and COMPLETELY took the stress off of me having to do it all! Once we decided on a place, I posted Linda's information on our wedding website for all of my guests to use for travel accommodations. Linda took care of it all, and EVERY single one of my guests had wonderful things to say about Linda. I will use Linda for LIFE!

Although her specialty is weddings and honeymoons, she is the best travel agent out there in my opinion for anything you want to do or anywhere you want to go. Linda doesn't even cost anything to you as the customer...which is unheard of so what more could you possibly ask for!??  Thanks to Linda my wedding was WAY MORE than I thought it would be, and my vision and dream had certainly come true.  I have the most beautiful pictures of any wedding I've ever seen thanks to Linda and her expertise in knowing exactly what I had pictured!  I cannot thank Linda enough, and I have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING negative to say about Linda...

she truly is perfect at her job and you will not be disappointed in using Linda Dancer!!  Thank You Linda!! XOXO

Love,
Eric & AJ Cooper
