If you are not one of Fauci's flock this is a great time to travel. I get free air but the hotels and airfare are super cheap. In the last 9 months we have traveled all over and done jiu-jitsu tournaments in Florida and Texas. We have also been to Colorado, Oregon and Arizona. My only regret was missing 2 weeks in Mexico. We have went to Texas so many times we are currently looking for a house in the Fort Worth area. So nice to go to the Ice House and listen to some live music and be normal. I hope you guys are having a great holiday with the people that matter the most. Go Chiefs!!!! [Reply]
I’ve been flying almost every weekend since Memorial Day and I’ve probably paid under 300 total for all of it. Gotten a ton of free promos from Allegiant as well as some other airlines so many of my flights have been free. [Reply]

Hotels are dirt cheap too. We were in Bedford last time out in a decent hotel and I think we paid like under $300 for a week. I love that area. I would consider moving to Florida but the wife doesn't want to work out of Miami. Missed Vegas this last weekend. Hopefully get it in again before year end. [Reply]

I will next time. We do tournaments in Phoenix. Always wanted to spend a few days in Sedona. We will be really close when we find a house in Texas. Probably be out there twice a year. [Reply]
My family owns a Travel Agency. It has been a very challenging year, to say the least, but it is a great time to travel as far as prices go. Airfare is super cheap and hotels/resorts have great deals as well.
My advice:
* Check the Covid restrictions first. Example: Aspen has great deals right now and we were putting together a Ski Package until I researched it. Aspen has very strict Covid guidelines and you have to sign an Affidavit. You can be fined up to $5,000 as well as being put on mandatory quarantine. As an agency, we do not want to put our customers into that situation. So we will be putting out a Breckenridge Package this week instead.
* Check the fine print and State Covid Guidelines. My wife and I took a trip around Lake Michigan for a Lighthouse tour. Michigan hotels are restricted from serving the Hot Breakfast they promise online. Make sure if you are expecting a breakfast it does not end up being a water bottle and granola bar like we were stuck with.
* Book now for cheap prices, but look into travel insurance if you think there is a chance your future plans might fall through.
* You will need a US Passport for anything out of the States now. A valid driver's license used to work for Canada and Mexico- but not any longer.
* Some Countries and States are requiring a Covid test within 72 hours of traveling.
* No go zone sections in cities within the United States. Check for current Safety issues. We were in Chicago recently and as soon as night hit- BLM took over the streets. Do you really want to go to New York right now with crime up 500%?
* What are your goals? If it is to relax in a Spa and go to some nice restaurants, museums, and other indoor activities- make sure the city or state is not locked down- Like Chicago and Michigan. Michigan makes you buy an extra Covid Pass to walk through their State Parks now. Make sure there are no curfews.
I would recommend the US Virgin Islands right now. No Passport needed. You need a current Covid test, but most everything including bars are open. My company can book you through the Wholesale Travel portals at up to 65% off with travel dates into August. You can also make payments. Mexico and the Caribbean have amazing All-Inclusive deals as well. PM me if you are ready to travel! Be safe!
* Before I get a bunch of responses that booking through an agency is more expensive / I book my own travel with my phone, ect- No it is not cheaper. We have access to the Wholesale Travel Portals. [Reply]

I have never been to the US Virgin Islands. You have some favorite spots? [Reply]

Report back!
Unfortunately, I think this is where we are headed. Forced vaccinations- If you want to travel. As of now- they are only enforcing Covid Test and mask-wearing. [Reply]
