Tuesday marked the celebration of National Plan for Vacation Day. While reading Angelique Platas’s article about the holiday on globaltravelerusa.com, I started thinking about upcoming trips I already have in the works for 2020, plus some I still would like to plan.
I’m attending several weddings this year that will bring me to different parts of the United States including Georgia, Long Island, northern New Jersey and the Poconos. I will also be traveling for a couple destination bachelorette parties, including one to Los Angeles. My husband and a few of our friends will attend the High Water Festival in Charleston, South Carolina, this April. We attended the annual festival last year, and it was a blast!
In addition to these trips that are in the works, I hope to plan a couple more trips in the summer, fall and winter, including time at the New Jersey shore this summer, a European trip in the fall and a vacation to either Sedona, Arizona, or somewhere in the Caribbean in December.
I can’t wait to see what 2020 holds for my travel goals!
