Travel is different now. It just is.

To travel now requires multiple Covid tests prior to and during your travel.

Belize is opening to tourists October 1st, but requires you to have a Covid test 48 hours prior to departure with rapid results before boarding your flight.

During your stay, you’ll be tested up to 3 times. Any showing negative, and you will be quarantined in your room.

This is not how to travel to exotic locations should be, but there is no way around this. Costa Rica is opening to travel, but only if you are from one of the four allowed states! Hawaii is not allowing hardly any tourists and is experiencing their own explosive numbers of Covid cases themselves currently.

I would like to think of travel as ”bouncing back like before” but it seems things have changed permanently.

There will no longer be ”hopping on a plane” and enjoying a quick trip to relax… most places still don’t want tourists. In fact, most of Europe has not allowed American tourists since March. This is definitely a first. So bouncing back is going to be more like a cannonball rolling through molasses than a bouncing ball.

Travel is different now.
