PANDEMIC VS ENDEMIC

February 18, 2022 by Cathy

What is the difference between pandemic and endemic? A pandemic is a worldwide spread disease. The WHO officially declared a pandemic of COVID-19 in March of 2020. This term can be used to describe a disease that spread across a country, but usually its more for a disease that is spread across continents, such as COVID-19. So, what does endemic mean? Endemic means natural to, native to, confined to, or widespread within a place or population. This relates more to restricted to a particular location or group of people. An example is malaria which is said to be endemic to tropical regions. Information quoted from dictionary.com

OH, THE AIRPORT

I love to go to the airport as I know that I will soon be traveling somewhere. But it’s not always the easiest of things to get through the security and all the things that come along with flying these days. It can be a pain in the butt even. Today’s blog I am going to discuss the three different things you can do to speed up the security part of the airport.

THE WORLD IS OPENING BACK UP

Who is excited with me? I had a moment of euphoria when I read that the United Kingdom has decided to remove the testing policies and quarantine rules to enter if you were vaccinated. This is like music to my ears. They are also removing the mask mandate (except on public transports and such) which is also great news. I saw visions in my head of life going back to normal after two years of wondering if it ever would. The world is opening back up people, it’s time to travel again!

THE PERFECT VACATION

January 14, 2022 by Cathy

So, what creates the perfect vacation for my clients? It all starts with a discovery call to learn how the clients like to travel, what they are looking to get out of their vacation and what will make it memorable and special for them. This should be the main goal of any travel designer. Those clients that are just needing a quickie Mexico trip or the best bargain they can find are probably not really needing the services of a travel designer/advisor. That’s what Expedia was created for. But if you want an authentic, off the beaten path experience, where people meet culture and immerse themselves in the destination, then you have found the right place to create a perfect vacation.

SIMPLY SCOTTSDALE

I have been craving a getaway as I haven’t travelled in the month of December yet. So, Richard and I are off to Scottsdale Arizona for a 3-day weekend. We will work from the pool on Friday and then enjoy the weekend with warmer weather than in Colorado. Have you ever thought about a long weekend getaway domestically? I will admit I am usually a “long distance” traveler. Simply Scottsdale, I thought I would introduce you to some resorts that you could enjoy during a long weekend here.
