30 Days of Traveling

With us going seemingly no where for quite some time, I thought I would use our stay-at-home orders as a great excuse to start writing again. But the big question of course is, what should I write about? I thought about a creative endeavor like a screenplay or something, but most days after teaching remotely via Zoom for hours on end I am drained. Then I thought, what is the thing that the pandemic has taken from me that I miss the most?

It's traveling. Hands down. Traveling to see friends, to see family, or to just explore something new.

Honestly I don't mind being at home, especially when staying here will help save lives and keep everyone safe, but I do miss getting to the airport early to enjoy an overpriced drink and sandwich while watching folks go to and from.  I miss jumping in the car with the family to head to my in-laws for a weekend. I even miss all of the researching and planning that takes place before the adventure.

So while we are all being safe at home during the next 30 days (or longer should the Covid-19 numbers necessitate it), I will look back here at some of the travels I've taken before.  I will share some stories and photos, and hopefully together we can all escape away to somewhere new...even if only mentally for now.
