The government shutdown has come to an end. With the end of the shutdown comes the opening of many of America's great resources: National Parks, monuments, government buildings, and all passport centers reopening once more. So now that the government is back open for business again, what should travelers expect?

In the latest edition of the Travel Insure Blog, I explore what this now means for travelers, and how this set of circumstances affects travelers now and in the future. In particular, we look at what to do if you applied for a passport, the effect on ESTA, and the potential effect on travelers to National Parks.
