So we know that trying to plan a vacation during uncertain times like these seems a little crazy. Part of the idea of this trip stemmed from the fact that we've had to cancel two planned trips out of safety concerns. While we know that there is no way to predict what the next 14 months or so will bring, here are the steps we are taking to try to create a safe way for us all to come together. 1. Chosing a private beach rental instead of a hotel or other more public option. 2. Trip insurance on the beach house rental to include refunds in the event of travel adviseries. 3. A mid-point location that is more or less drive-able for everyone. 4. A location that lends itself to safer, socially distanced activities: beaches, water sports, adventure courses, etc.
