We’re a few weeks into physical distancing and shelter at home orders, with at least a few more ahead of us. We can be forgiven for feeling a little stir-crazy and having some low moments. While the collective action is saving lives and allowing frontline health workers to have a fighting chance against Covid-19, there is no doubt all this inactivity and uncertainty can be mentally taxing on an individual level.
Largay Travel held its annual retreat last week — virtually, of course. And while the distance toned down the usual revelry, if only slightly, it was wonderful to get together with friends and colleagues. Of course, we’ve all been meeting up regularly for Friday night dance parties and Meditation Mondays, it was oddly freeing to sit down and talk business with our supplier partners. And the overall message was a resounding one: Travel will be back.
Traveling can be fun, exciting and eye-opening. It is sad that due to the coronavirus pandemic, travels have been put on hold. Do not let yourself feel too down though. This is a great opportunity for you to research and make plans concerning places that you would love to see when we find a solution to this pandemic.

That’s one of the things we love about our preferred partners, they’re always focused on service and delivering high-quality experiences. There’s enough below to keep kids and adults occupied and learning for as long as necessary. There are some stress relievers, from meditation tips to cocktail recipes. We and our partners are here for you, and we can’t wait to welcome you back with open arms once we can all get back out into this great big world.
Lots of people in the US have had to stay inside for the past few weeks and will continue to do so for some more weeks to come. The social distancing that is necessary for this pandemic to slow down has meant that most people are stuck at home with only very essential trips to get groceries being done.
