A mandate is just an enforceable rule. You can choose to wear masks whenever you want. Mask mandates will remain in effect for mass transit such as buses and planes for a while yet. Make sure you complete your vaccine series. Take regular precautions while traveling and staying in the hotel. Wash/sanitize hands, avoid people who appear ill, wear a mask in crowded areas.

Define what level of risk you find acceptable when you use the word "safe." You're trying to hit a moving target. The CoVid situation is in a continuous state of flux. Keeping abreast of the CDC's recommendations on a daily basis is the best approach to answering your questions. I wouldn't expect firm answers to slippery questions. You also haven't said whether you've been vaccinated.
