Prepare for Takeoff: Getting Ready to Travel Again
After months of maximizing “me-time” and exploring the world virtually, we’re looking forward to enjoying our next real getaway when the times is right. Inspired by the old adage “stay ready so you don’t have to get ready,” here are some ways to use this time to prepare for upcoming adventures so you’re ready whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Refresh your travel wardrobe.
- Whether it’s resoling the slip-ons that carried you through a week in Europe or finding a carry-on that can withstand the cobblestones of River Street, make sure your favorite travel items are as ready-to-go as you are.
-
Make a Plan.
- Even if you don’t know the “when” quite yet, figure out the “who” “what” and “where” of your next destination. Get the group chat going, scour the best local city guides and start thinking about your vacation wardrobe (hint: the Kaya Laptop Backpack goes with everything). The more real your trip becomes in your mind now, the more quickly you can make it real in your life when the time’s right!
