Time to adjust travel priorities…

Rethinking my travel plans…

With the coronavirus still advancing worldwide outside its point of origin…I am seriously reconsidering when and where to travel to in the near term! While my dreams are still alive and well, and my bucket list in tack; timing is the issue (and even cost considerations as my 401K sinks!). Setbacks are a part of life, and at my age, I’ve seen a few! So, what am I doing now? Looking over my travel desires, I am re-prioritizing! I do not plan to make an international trip in the near term. Traveling long distances and in areas where language barriers and medical care may not be to my expectations…why challenge that! There are plenty of great places not far away from me and thus, I am thinking those now make super alternatives…

For instance, I really want to visit New England (for me, riding some of that beautiful country on my motorcycle) and take in some of our wonderful history. It has been on my list, but it was coming after some other major trips (that were both time consuming and high cost trips) …so now it takes on a new priority. Upstate rural New York or the settings of peaceful and quiet Vermont to the rough and tumultuous coastline of Maine seems more attractive to me at this point in time. So in the meantime, I will regularly check https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html for updates and start my trip planning for later this year; probably during the fall to soak in the colors of fall in New England. Stay tuned!
