In the summer of 2021, not long after lockdown restrictions began to ease up following the pandemic, my parents invited me and my sister to join them on a road trip down south.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a great portion of 2020 & 2021, I took a big step back from traveling because I was concerned about the virus. As much as I love to travel, I tend to prefer to fly to many of the destinations I visit.
