Mandatory 14-day Quarantine Still Remains in Effect for South Korea
Per U.S. Embassy in Seoul website:
All travelers to Korea must provide proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test result issued within 72 hours of their departure and submit to a mandatory 14-day quarantine upon entry, regardless of vaccination status. Most tourists must quarantine in government facilities at their own expense. COVID-19 screening measures are subject to change with little advance notice. At this time, the ROK government has not changed its testing and quarantine requirements with regard to vaccinated travelers. General information is detailed below, but please consult the ROK COVID-19 Portal, Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) and the Embassy of the ROK in the USA for the most up-to-date information on special COVID regulations and immigration procedures before your travels.

Remembering an Icon – Stephen J Barry, Jr
My dear friend and mentor has left us this year. To “Big Steve” we owe much. His gracious manner, wit, and industry expertise were well known in the global tradeshow community. Those of us fortunate enough to have worked for, played with, and traveled the world over with him (and often with Cindy as well) know a few things about a tall, slender, elegant man also noted as SJB: Profiteroles in Geneva; Steak in Barcelona; Red wine in Paris; and always a small bottle of refreshing Coca-cola to start his day. Obviously, he was a delight to travel with, but more so, he was a good man, an honest soul, who taught us that Plan B often becomes Plan A and never hurts to have a Plan C as a back-up. You are greatly missed and we raise our glasses in your honor as 2018 slips away.
Good-bye my friend; Rest well.
~Rebecca
