Travel, Social Distancing, and Where We Go From Here

I think at this point, all of us, no matter where we live or what we do, have been impacted by COVID-19, and it’s pretty evident that we will be for a while in some fashion – although for how long and in what way is still unknown. Whether you are working from home, newly home-schooling your children, whether you or someone you love is a healthcare provider or first responder, whether you own a small business, or are an hourly wage earner, whether you have elderly loved ones or someone who is “at risk” or a high school/college graduate who is missing one of the most important times of their life…..all of us in some way are affected by the current situation.

And of course, those of us in the travel industry are no different. In fact, as some of the earliest news related to this novel corona virus came out, we were among the first to be affected as travel agents everywhere spent endless days handling the wave of changes and cancellations related to international, cruise, and domestic theme park travel, working to advise and help our clients and find the best possible outcomes for them.

Exploring Universal Orlando’s CityWalk

Universal Orlando CityWalk is a dining, shopping, and entertainment district adjacent to the resort’s two theme parks, Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios Florida. The area is right between the two parks, which are only a ten minute walk from each other anyways, so it’s easy to throw in a visit to CityWalk while you’re visiting the parks. There’s plenty to do in the area, especially if you’re looking for nighttime entertainment. Read more
