The promise of Spring with the much-anticipated vaccine rollout and the cautious reopening of many international destinations has given us hope as we emerge from our yearlong Covid hibernation. “Hope springs eternal,” words that have inspired optimism since they were first penned by Alexander Pope in 1732; remain a paradigm for faith in the future so relevant for us today. Beauty awaits as this Spring seems to be particularly eager to bring renewal and joy in nature’s reawakening, welcoming hopeful, expectant travelers abroad with continued testing and protective protocols for guests and staff…and greatly appreciated wonderful hospitality.
