It’s summer. And this year, Europe and Disney World just aren’t really all that feasible as part of your travel plans.
Yet especially with the last few months we’ve all endured, the need to get away and experience something new is like a raging fire in many of us. So if you can’t be around too many people these days, how about going where people ain’t?
