Traveling during COVID looks a lot different than before and finding destinations with adequate safety conditions is changing weekly if not daily. But I am beyond happy to report how incredible (safe) New England was. This has been a bucket list trip for John and I and with the circumstances we had to adjust a bit but overall it was simply fabulous with leaf peeping, lighthouses, and covered bridges. A normal New England itinerary includes private drivers and some of the most incredible 5-star hotels so you can truly relax and enjoy this beautiful destination. And today I wanted to highlight a few of the hotels John & I visited during our trip. Each hotel offers a different experience that is unique to it's town/city.

All of these hotels I have highlighted are our partners that we work with frequently and I can tell you I was AMAZED at their attention to detail and all of the protocols they have instituted AND many of these protocols were disguised by greenery, etc. I cannot say enough about how very impressed I was with the professionalism and contactless options and many other options that did not make us feel any less connected with them.
