As you might suspect, I’ve been burning the midnight oil helping all of my clients sort out their travel plans in light of coronavirus. Separate from that, I’ve received a surprising number of messages, primarily on Instagram. I figure it’s time to address the elephant in the room.
As a family, we are taking it day by day and making the best decisions we can for our family. Period.
As a travel agent, I am committed to helping my clients do what is best for their family. Whether that means writing an awesome itinerary because you’re going, postponing a much anticipated trip to summer, or taking a future cruise credit because you don’t know when you can travel again. I’m not going to lie… it’s been grueling but it is a way to further demonstrate my value to the people that trusted their trips to me in the first place! I feel for the people out there that are sitting on long holds or can’t even get in touch with a human at discounters like Expedia or Costco.
As a blogger, and this is what I really wanted to share today, I am intentionally not sharing articles, thoughts, opinions, etc. I have nothing to add to the dialogue and no expertise at all to offer anyone. I feel like this is my very small part in not adding to the “noise”. It is extremely hard to find facts right now. (I’ve never seen so many people with “friends on the ground in Italy” or “coworkers husbands that are infectious disease specialists”.)
And, finally, as a mother I am falling on my old stand-by of reminding my kids to not only look for the helpers right now, but to remember that they are old enough to BE helpers now. These are uncertain times at best, and scary times at worst. I suspect we will have many opportunities in the coming days to see and be the helpers.
I’m going to carry on carrying on here on the blog. School is out indefinitely and I hope to stay well and spend some quality time with the boys. I’ll be sharing St. Patrick’s Day treats and Easter fun but that doesn’t mean I don’t have CV to top of mind. I just know y’all come here day after day and year after year for the lighter side of life. Love and hugs…
