We unexpectedly found ourselves with a week in Par

We unexpectedly found ourselves with a week in Paris. My husband tested positive before his flight home to the USA.

A lot of travel lessons come out of this week.

• Grateful we are both double vaccinated and double boosted. His symptoms were no worse than the common cold and I remained negative the entire time we were here.

• We have travel insurance. But not enough trip delay coverage. This is what covers hotel, food, transportation. Our Policy only came with $2000 and I didn’t think to increase that.

• COVID quarantine rules are hard to interpret in a foreign country. After much research, we determined he needed to quarantine 7 days because he is fully vaccinated and boosted. If not it would have been 10 days. He also need to get a ‘Covid recovery certificate’ from a doctor to show with his original positive test in order to board a plane. Luckily he tested negative on his own and we were able to get attested antigen tests and fly home today.

• It is important to test with at home antigen tests every day. You never know when you will test negative or others in your party will test positive. That would reset your quarantine time.

COVID is here to stay. As mask requirements drop around the world, it is more important than ever to get vaccinated and boosted. While getting COVID really messed up our travel plans, it didn’t land either of us in the hospital or even worse, kill us.

Barge cruising in France.

My home this week is the six passenger, luxury @bargemeandererfrance. I think this is one of the most glorious ways to see the French countryside.

You can get away from major ports and big city cruising. It is a unique an opportunity to travel along French canals to see smaller towns and villages.

Spending a few days at @coquillade_provence_resort_spa after our Rhône river cruise. This luxury @relaischateaux resort is located on a 100-year-old estate in the heart of France’s Luberon Valley, less than an hour from Avignon

The hotel has only 63 rooms which are spread out among six French county houses making you feel like you are in a little village in Provence.

An extraordinary place to stay in the South of France 🇫🇷

Today we rode 10 miles along the Rhône river. It was a gorgeous day for biking and a great way to see the countryside. Made me feel better about all of the wine and cheese we are consuming this week!

@amawaterways includes a variety of daily walking, hiking, biking, culinary, or cultural excursions to choose from. It is great that there options for all levels of physical ability.

I love Europe. Exploring on foot is my favorite way to see the cities. There is nothing better than strolling the streets.

It is one of the reasons I love river cruising. This week I am sailing with @amawaterways on the Rhône river. Because the #AmaKristina is docked right in the center of Lyon we are able to walk right off the boat and head into to see this beautiful city.

My home away from home is an airport.

When you travel as frequently as I do, you need to have clothing and gear that is as functional as it is comfortable.

My go-to outfit is this pair of pants and this cashmere V-neck sweater from @anatomiestyle along with this compact backpack from @solonewyork. Although sometimes I swap it out for their tote which I love as well. You can find links to all of these products in my bio.

What are your go-to travel gear brands?

Spanning the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic ocean,

Spanning the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic ocean, the @mo_canouan is a true destination. With turquoise blues everywhere you look, this exceptional property offers guests seclusion in a blissfully relaxing setting.

It is the kind of place where the staff always goes the extra mile, making you feel like you are the most important guest at the hotel. They will arrange for a private beach picnic, a sunset cocktail on the 13th green, and deep tissue massages in their overwater bungalows.

It may not seem like the most convenient place to vacation, but their team makes it convenient for you. I promise it’s worth going the extra mile to get here.

A huge thank you to the Mandarin Oriental Canouan for hosting @nicolejunasravlin and I for this amazing getaway.

Who could resist snorkeling in these turquoise blue waters?

True confession: I really didn’t like snorkeling until recently. Now I can’t get enough of it. So when the @mo_canouan offered us a private catamaran sail over to the Tobago Cays to swim with the sea turtles I jumped on the chance to do it.

@united I am cheating on you.

Truthfully, the only way to get to the @mo_canouan is on the resort’s private jet. Canouan is a very small island (population 2,700) in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. This is luxury travel at its finest.

The place to be on Thursday nights in San Pancho. Great local vibe. Go for the cervezas and dinner but stay for the music. @oliviadelacruzmusic and @talktodavidjames are fantastic 🎶

The @oomandarina is absolutely stunning. Built into an oceanside cliff, every villa, treehouse and restaurant have views like this. The property’s secluded location hidden on the coast of @riviera_nayarit means total privacy for its guests.

We enjoyed a fabulous lunch at Alma. I hope to return soon. It would be a dream to stay here.

The perfect table for two. Is there a better spot to watch the sunset in Puerto Vallarta? I think not.

I was so fortunate to have had the opportunity to stay at @casakimberly last year. It is without a doubt one of the most romantic hotels in the world. I knew that I had to return for dinner this year while in Mexico for a few weeks.

With so many direct flights from US cities, getting to Puerto Vallarta is now easier than ever. Easily accessible with a convenient location just five minutes from the airport, the @westinvallarta is the perfect beachside property to decompress for a few days.

I’m here this weekend checking out the property. It would be a great place to stay before or after a cruise. Where do you like to stay in @visitpuertovallarta?

Outdoor shower + sunset view. Winning the vacation rental game.

I have rented a lot of vacation homes all over the world. This one, on the pacific coast of Mexico, has absolutely the best outdoor shower I have ever seen. I get this view every night.

The beautiful colors of Mexico. From the tiny towns to the bigger cities I live the vibrant paint choices. It makes the place feel alive.

I wonder what the USA would feel like if we did the same.
