kmusserBack in the Before Times we tried to do a big trip more or less every year and I would write up travelogues for them. Obviously we haven't been doing that, but with our recent trip to Italy I'd like to get back to it. This was our first big trip in 5 years (since Alaska, https://kmusser.dreamwidth.org/484437.html) and our first International one in 7 (since Ireland, https://kmusser.dreamwidth.org/tag/ireland). We have however been doing travelling since Alaska, I just haven't written about it, so I'll do some catching up, probably over several posts.
We did do two short trips before Covid hit. One with family to Gulf Shores, Alabama which featured beach time, alligators, and some kayaking. And one to California to visit friends which is a treasured memory of normalcy before everything shut down.
2021 saw some very tentative returns to travel with visits to see family and a weekend to Ocean City which has since become an annual thing. 2022 saw a return to more regular travel with a weekend getaway to Nelson county, Viginia in February which felt very much like it was still testing the waters and was pretty booze-centric with visits to wineries and cideries. May saw our return to air travel with a quick trip to upstate New York which I'll talk about in my next post.
