Gail Carriger and Piper J. Drake discuss international travel considerations.

*This episode was recorded in April 2022. We had encountered technical difficulties and had to await a new motherboard, but we are back!

But first! Where has Piper been?

Piper joined authors K Tempest Bradford and Alethea Kontis for almost the full month of December in Egypt, visiting both Cairo and Luxor with Horus Rising Tours.

Gail's international travel thoughts:

• Holding off on international travel due to varying testing and quarantine requirements
• Carefully research and get appropriate travel vaccinations (not just COVID)

Piper's international travel thoughts:

• More locations around the world are implementing changes to tourism and increasing precautions for preservation and conservation of natural destinations
• Travel vaccinations and protective masks were things Piper already did pre-COVID pandemic
• Long haul flights wearing masks is absolutely doable, not just for protection from allergens and viruses - Piper's introduction to masks in flight was in 2008 on a flight to Japan as a "personal humidity device"
• GoogleFi and/or Google Voice worked well to communicate with travel companions.

Gadgets:

• Gail's gadget is a magnetic card wallet/holder
• Piper's gadget is an Insta360 GO 2
