- In the **Travel News,** the list of places you can't travel to without a test or a quarantine on arrival is **growing.** Europeans returned our "don't come here" policy, by instituting a travel ban for arrivals from the states. Broadway is dark until the first of the year, Cirque du Soleil has applied for bankruptcy protection. The list is getting longer.
- You check into your hotel and go to your room. The key won't open the door, so you go back to the front desk. "You must have put the key in the pocket with your phone..." So we answer the age old question...and make you a smarter traveler...Can your cell phone demagnetize your room key? Just One Man's Opinion sheds some insight.
- The major airlines are going to try pre-boarding health screenings to try and make us safer when flying. Will it help, or is it just an exercise in futility?
- Many travelers are staying closer to home this summer. Luckily, in central California we have a lot of cool choices. Join us on a visit to Tuolumne County, gateway to Yosemite and discover a few of them.
