  1. My stand on safety, masks, and social distancing- I even Cancelled my own trip to visit my family in Punta Cana. 
  2. Breaking out of my bubble - even at home we have pool and gym limitations - Nothing new here
  3. Prepping to fly: disinfectant wipes, hand sanitizer
  4. My journey to the airport in FLL - ON Jetblue! Impeccable. 
  5. Arriving in Cancun, Mexico - 
    1. NO COVID Test Required
    2. private transfer is a must
  6. Focus on contactless
  7. Safety protocols and CDC guidelines at the resorts
    1. Social distancing signs
    2. Contactless Temperature check at every turn
    3. Hand sanitizer stations at check-in and elevators
    4. QR code restaurant menus
    5. Welcome kit with mask and wipes (SOME resorts)
    6. Max occupancy limitation of 30% in Quintana Roo
    7. Focus on health even outside of the resort - locals walking around wearing masks at parks and stores 
    8. No Mask, No service 
  8. What happens IF someone has symptoms in the destination? Self-quarantine
