the travel world is starting to buzz

Do you feel it? This global awakening? Not unlike Jane Fonda’s “Can you feel it” Jackson’s song made famous in her 80's workout videos, we have been hovering in place for a swig too long now. She wanted you to feel the muscle burn by circling your arms and legs round and round (as I recall) ... but, do you feel the mood of our hovering and circling in place is starting to change?
Like the world is s l o w l y turning on it's burners?

My inbox feels the it - the travel media are coming alive with a low buzz; a rumbling of "make it work" from far corners of the globe. We all have different metrics for when and how we might safely travel again - but - If you are becoming curious or feeling the burn to go, here are a few of my recent travel bookmarks for some e-inspiration:
