Happy New Year! We sure were happy to officially say hindsight is 20/20 (or 2020!)! The new year holds all sorts of possibilities for the future, but this new year has us especially hopeful that we may be able to travel just a *bit* further than our own kitchens and living rooms.

With COVID-19 cases continuing to rise, we still have a long way to go in terms of a full recovery and restoration, but now that there is a vaccine, there is also a light at the end of the tunnel. (We are keeping our fingers crossed that travel will get even safer and easier in the second half of 2021.) While that may seem like a far way off, it’s never too early to start planning, especially when it comes to traveling on a budget. Have fun dreaming, planning and exploring – after all that is what this time of year is all about!
