IT'S NOT WHAT YOU SEE- Says Gabariella Truman!
There's been so much chatter now that things are slowly reopening. How will they be when I fly or when I check in to a hotel? How is it going to feel when people stand super far from me, when a hotel staff member is in my view in a mask, perhaps with gloves on not wanting to come near me (and vice versa), when I see items that are shrink wrapped to signify some sort of sensitization...there are so many questions we all have but I need you to remember something.

Clean and fresh does not always mean clinical. Hospitality does not mean hospital. Warmth, heart-centered welcomes are things we tend to feel first before I see. Balance and beauty are things our emotions involuntarily absorb and adhere to before we even notice the AAAAHHH moment. Eyes say it all so if someone is smiling at you even through a mask, we feel it. That doesn't go away, no matter how many plastic dividers you wind up seeing in the next few months or how many new contact less procedures you come across. It'll be there. You have to do what you have to do in the air and on the ground, that won't change, but neither will that true core of what hospitality is all about even when things look different. I believe you will feel the same.

And now, 2 things I really think you should be doing to spring forward . Coming soon Visit your backyard from Yellowstone National Park to Lake Powell and what about visit Martha's Vineyard. More to come! Interested give us a call at 9178601232 of email me at [email protected]

What to Know About Passports in the Wake of COVID-19
What to Know About Passports in the Wake of COVID-19
Having a passport is key for those looking to travel internationally and making sure it's up to date and renewed is a huge part of the process.

In order to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and protect their workforce and customers, the U.S. Department of State Travel significantly reduced passport operations in March 2020, including temporarily suspending expedited passport processing and restricting services to cases involving life-or-death emergencies.

As global conditions continue to evolve, and as states and health authorities adapt their operational recommendations, the Department says it's looking forward to resuming routine passport processing, while protecting the safety of staff and customers.

The Department also says it's planning to gradually reopen in three phases this summer as part of the U.S. Department of State's Diplomacy Strong plan, which follows guidelines from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for safely reopening, noting each passport agency and center will open on a different date based on local conditions. To accommodate the current travel climate, the Department of Homeland Security has also extended the deadline for travelers to obtain REAL ID to October 1, 2021.

A statement on the U.S. Department of State Travel website offered insight for future passport operations:

"We continue to experience significant delays in passport processing, as our staff are unable to process applications from home due to strict standards for security and privacy protection for customers. This includes applications by customers who already applied for routine service at passport acceptance facilities or who mailed in renewal applications since March. We ask for your patience as we gradually resume normal operations and address COVID-19 related processing delays."

The Department says they're committed to working as hard to process applications as quickly as possible, as soon as it is safe for them do so.
