There was a Forum posting yesterday by “Estimated Prophet” of the article, although that’s now disappeared for some reason.
The main points I got from it, besides Rick’s enthusiasm for a return of travel, because “although we’re still in the pandemic, we're coming out of it”:
Of the 30,000 slots for Rick’s tours next year, 29,000 are already booked.
Rick will require Covid vaccinations for all tour participants, and so many places in Europe have been/will be requiring that anyway.
Rick’s working on a 6-hour PBS special about art and architecture in Europe.

I deleted my post with a link to the article. I figured I would get a scolding for posting something that required a subscription to read.

Thank for the link, Frank II! NYT offers a few free articles if you haven’t already used them up. Interesting Rick Steves article, but as so often happens I found this other New York Times article link that started me dreaming of far off shores, and the reasons we travel:
