Essential Summer Travel Tips

Summer heralds the start of peak travel season. If you’re going on vacation, here are some precautions you can take to protect yourself, your family, and others against COVID-19 and its variants.

Taking unvaccinated children on a trip:

• If you are traveling with children who can’t get vaccinated right now, you should follow the instructions for unvaccinated persons and take precautions.
• Wear a mask or two and replace them every hour. After receiving any things from the flight attendant, as well as after using and returning from the restroom, apply hand sanitizer.
• Whether you’ve been immunized or not, keeping a tiny bottle of hand sanitizer on hand might be the difference between halting the virus’s spread and passing it on.

Explore Outdoors:

• Exploring the outdoors, such as camping and hiking, is preferable to confined environments, which represent a larger health risk. There has never been a finer moment to discover nature than right now.

Rent A Car:

• Crammed buses, crowded trains, offer little room for physical distance. Because of the spike in covid instances, they may even cause some concern.
• Consider hiring a car if you have the possibility. If you want to take public transit, check the local regulations ahead of time to see how each service ensures physical distance.

Stay Healthy:

• Getting ill or sunburned is the surest way to spoil a summer vacation. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen regularly to protect yourself from the sun’s damaging rays.
• Wear a hat and sunglasses in direct sunshine to protect your head and face from damaging UVA and UVB radiation.
• Always carry a refillable water bottle with you to stay hydrated in hot weather.
• To keep the pests at bay, use insect repellent. When visiting the beach, always pay attention to lifeguards’ or signage’s warnings about jellyfish, sharks, rip currents, and shore breaks.

Pack wisely:

• Summer vacation packing should be simpler than winter vacation packing. After all, gauzy sundresses, khaki shorts, and flip-flops are lighter and easier to fold than a puffer coat.
• But, to avoid overweight-bag fines, you’ll still want to pack carefully for summer. First, consider your footwear: Limit yourself to a few pairs of light sandals, flats, and loafers. Sun hats that fold up to save room in your baggage.
• Pack a single-color palette of light tones and simple summery designs to mix and match at your comfort.
