When I go to museums, and I go to the little restaurants I like to go to, and when I go to galleries and palaces in Europe, I'm surrounded by people who believe in science and love art, and they got their shots.
I don't go to crowded interiors where you got a lot of people who culturally would be opposed to vaccinations. I want to keep my distance, and I don't want to be stuck in an enclosed area that's not ventilated with a lot of people who are unlikely to have embraced science and have their shots. But otherwise, I've got a special sensor in my own body: I want to have space. I tape one copy to my passport and another one I have in the outside pocket of my day bag. "Have a photocopy or some kind of a copy of your CDC card showing you're fully vaccinated and fully boosted. I think it's fun to have the kids have their own money belt so they can be responsible and take care of their money." On safe pandemic traveling I think you err on the side of generosity as far as tools to keep them entertained on the road. Of course, kids have a short attention span, and they need to have their entertainment. As the kids get older, then they become more like little adults, and they can carry their own gear, and they can pack light just like mom and dad. That was my philosophy when I had tiny kids. Just rent the car and go from airport to airport with the car and take whatever the mom thinks is important to take. "When the kids are really little, forget about packing light. Don't stress out about that." On traveling with kids If you get a step to 65% clean, that's dang good when you're on the road. My philosophy about washing clothes on the road is you don't need to have the high standards that you have at home. I use the shampoo that comes in the hotel room. "I just wash my laundry in the sink generally. I generally wait to board till the very end, and I just always find a place to squish my bag up on top." On doing laundry on the road These days, with all the chaos and frustration at airports, that's more important than ever. Here are some highlights: On traveling light That works really well for me."ĭuring our interview, Steves offered plenty of non-product-specific travel advice that's too useful not to share. If there's a fancy bag and this bag sitting there in the hotel lobby, and a thief wants to grab one, they're not going to grab mine. But, I can't get a better bag than that for my purposes," Steves added. "It only costs, what, about a hundred dollars? If somebody said 'this bag's better' and it costs $400, I'd buy it. I like it because it's squishy, so it fits in the overhead locker with no problem." You can carry it like a suitcase and hide the shoulder straps, or you can pull out the shoulder straps and throw it on your back. To me, it's got a real smart configuration of pockets with a laptop in mind and with a quick ability to stow things when you're going through security and a big panel in the flap that is really good for putting shirts. "It's designed to be as big as you can take onto the airplane. "The carry-on bag that I use, I designed, and I just love it," said Steves.
