“I do have summer travel plans, I actually have various baseball tournaments I am going to with my son, who’s on the Optimist 8U All-Star team and I have a dance competition in Charleston for my daughter,” Jeffrey Rodriguez said. “After that we’ll be going to the Bahamas. I think we’ll be doing some island hopping. George Town, Exuma is what we’re looking at, but we don’t have anything booked yet.”

“Probably go visit my son up at [University of Central Florida] and besides that, nothing too crazy,” Ray Garcia said. “Stick around Dade County and hit the beach. I haven’t been in a while. Probably stick close to home this summer. Maybe go up to Disney if I’m up in Orlando, I’ll go do something like that."

“So I’m planning to go cruising, I love cruising with Carnival,” Judy Brid said. “It’s an 8-day cruise and it’s going to Aruba and Curaçao. I’m excited to go back on a ship. I have been cruising [since the pandemic], there was a stop in 2020 and I went back in 2021 and took precautions by masking."

“No, actually a staycation [this summer],” Juliana Angelogianopulos said. “We bought a new home, it has a pool and we’re remodeling and that’s the plan, continue to work on the house. Really staying at home for now. If we go anywhere it’s a Florida round trip we like to do every year. We actually go to Sweetwater, Cape Coral, we cross to Orlando and then go to St. Pete Beach.”
