Summer travel has always been one of the most fun parts of the season to look forward to. While many travel plans were canceled last year due to the pandemic, restrictions are starting to loosen up now as COVID-19 vaccination rates go up. This means that many more families are venturing out into the world again to explore, relax, enjoy, and make up for those missed opportunities.
If you are wondering where to travel this summer, here are some of the best destinations right now for summer travel and how we can help make those dreams a reality.
Portland, Maine
One of the best places to travel in the summertime is the New England area in the northeastern U.S., including the city of Portland, Maine. Portland is a foodie’s paradise for seafood lovers and also a fun place to take a boat tour, check out unique shops, and savor some locally made blueberry pie too. The Old Port, Eastern Promenade, and Cape Elizabeth are all popular summer attractions here.
Naples, Florida
If you’re craving a beach getaway, Napes is a great choice for summer travel. Winter is peak season for Naples tourism, so you might find fewer crowds and cheaper accommodations at this time of the year. You’ll also love the warm water for swimming, great fishing opportunities, and plenty of golf courses in the area too.
New Orleans, Louisiana
For summer travelers looking for a fun party scene paired with amazing food and fascinating culture, look no further than New Orleans. Admittedly, the summer weather in New Orleans is typically hot and humid. But it’s also a time of the year with many festivals going on and often cheaper rates for hotels if you’re willing to sweat a little. However, this is also a place where you can cool off with a frozen daquiri as you walk through the streets!
European Summer Travel
With travel restrictions becoming more relaxed, you might also consider going on an overseas trip to a country that is accepting Americans for travel. Greece and France are popular options for where to travel right now based on that criteria and because of the amazing experiences you can have in these countries. Other European countries that have opened their borders to vaccinated American travelers so far include Croatia, Iceland, Italy, and others. However, keep in mind that some countries require travelers to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test, and that travel restrictions are always subject to change.
Our Services for Vacationing Families
Going on summer vacation is a lot of fun, but it can also be stressful to figure out all the logistics. Fortunately, Household Staffing International offers various services for vacationing families to make your travel planning easier, safer, and hassle-free.
If you have young children, we can help you hire a traveling nanny to go on vacation with you and watch the kids while you relax. If you are traveling domestically by car, you might hire a private driver to handle the transportation so that you can enjoy the journey rather than being burdened by navigation and traffic.
To take care of your house while you are away, we can also set you up with a property caretaker to water the plants and maintain the garden, as well as a private security guard to prevent theft and vandalism on your property. Many families also hire an estate manager when they go away on vacation to oversee general operations around the home and manage other staff members in their absence.
