“Make a checklist to schedule required Covid tests within the necessary time frame for your destination. Some countries very specifically count either hours or days. Take a photo of your vaccination certificate to have available on your phone and keep the original tucked inside your passport.” – Shari Kalt

“Don’t wait to book: Travel demand is increasing quickly, and supply is limited. A Virtuoso advisor can help make sure travelers are aware of cancellation policies, get them extra complimentary benefits, and, at times, even hold a hotel room while the client finalizes their trip details.” – Nick and Brandon Cosinteno

“Go with your eyes open about what to expect – Covid protocols; capacity and hours at restaurants, shops, markets, and museums; service levels; and curfews. Pack a healthy dose of flexibility and compassion. When faced with surprises, channel empathy and try to add a little more kindness to the world.” – Mimi Lichtenstein
