Where Can You Go in 2021?
School is back in session and life is getting back to something resembling normal. Students are in class, not in bed, and resuming extracurricular activities. And while the big class trip may be postponed, that doesn’t mean travel is off the table. Think “statecation” or off the beaten path travel. So where can you go in 2021?
