With international travel there's Covid-19 testing -- a lot of it -- and one test for U.S. travelers that's especially important: The one to return to the U.S. What happens if your pre-departure test comes back positive?

In this episode Rebecca Tobin and Jamie Biesiada speak with two travel advisors, Meaghan Carfrey of Cadence Travel and Ralph Iantosca of Iantosca Travel. Both were part of a cover story by Biesiada on the perspectives of travel agents who helped travelers, or themselves, through a Covid quarantine. We talk with Carfrey and Iantosca about their personal experiences with testing and quarantine. And most importantly, how they approached travel and their business as a result.
