That sounds amazing! I was thinking of having us drive up to Maine, but I don't know if they'll ever let NYers in this summer, so we're going to go up to Letchworth State Park for a few nights of camping instead. It won't be until August, which sucks because I really can't wait to get out of this city for a bit. I cancelled our trip to visit my family in Indiana. I feel a little guilty about it, but I'm just not up for getting in a plane right now. Considering we live in a hotspot too, I feel it's irresponsible anyway
Everywhere! Current plan is to fly into FLL and out of JAX with a stop in the Tampa area in between. J has friends in both FLL and JAX areas so trying to cover seeing as many friends as possible. I was going to hit you up when we figured it out more. We're planning a Wednesday thru Tuesday in late August because flights were cheap.
Awesome choices! I would love to meet up if you end up making the trip. Lots of breweries here have outdoor patios open and some inside seating too. [potential spoiler: I may be working at one or more breweries by then too so I may be able to do more than just provide recs or meet up]
Just looked at flights/car, we can fly out of TPA instead of JAX for about 260 more points which is nothing! So we will do FLL > JAX > TPA, it will give us a little bit more driving but we can avoid the RNC mess and hotels aren't a worry because we will stay with J's BFF.
Avoiding that mess would be worth even a lot of extra driving and points ha. I only saw a small pro Trump rally in FL and it's not something you want to be around if you like to maintain a healthy blood pressure.
Yeah it’s more of a NEP having to rebook stuff, I would like to be as far away as possible! Plus the fact that there is probably slim to no chance the trip even happens, but I’m holding out hope.
New travel NEP: Our flight to Florida got changed to depart 2 hours later and added a layover getting us there almost 3.5 hours later than planned. Southwest has been awesome with changes though so I got to change at no cost to a direct flight 20 mins after the changed flight! Now we're only getting there about 2 hours later than planned.
We decided against going to the family reunion this year since E is in daycare, and we didn't want to put S's family at risk. Instead, we're going to book a place at the beach for that same weekend and just have a chill, low/no contact vacation. It's two months away, but I'm so ready.
Southwest is having a fall sale so now I’m booking travel for Oct-Dec because it’s cheap. “Just in case we can travel by then...”
Just booked this cabin in the north Georgia mountains for our anniversary in October. Great option for vacay without being near anyone else haha!
Yeah that’s what we were thinking, the leaves should be so pretty in early October!! It’ll be just under 8 hours. I figure we can pack food and stop to pee hopefully no more than once, use all the sanitizer lol.
You inspired me, @Erie. However, we're probably pushing our luck since flying will be involved. We decided to go on a "babymoon" to Cabo the first week of December using our flight credits from our canceled Alaska trip and booked a private casita on the beach with its own private plunge pool. Maybe.. just maybe... things will be a bit better for travel then.
