It's the unofficial start of Summer. I hope you have some plans for an enjoyable weekend. This year it is a challenge both financially and availability-wise for a lot of travelers.
Now, onto the subject. One BIG thing travelers get wrong is.....they can't afford luxury travel. Luxury travel is surprisingly affordable if you know where to look, or to be more precise, who to work with.

Continuing my 25 reasons to travel in 2020, as some of our countries national parks are reopening, my thoughts turn towards rural endeavors. For that reason, I thought we'd check out some Dude Ranches and Resorts. These are luxurious dude ranches that are worth ditching your beach vacation for.
With Summer fast approaching and warmer weather, peoples thoughts turn to vacations. The first thing I think of is the beach. None of the beaches in New Hampshire are open yet. Continuing with my 25 Reasons to Travel in 2020 series, I thought I would provide a bit of wanderlust with resorts at the beaches of Florida this week, which ARE open. 5 Florida Resort Beaches1.

Top 5 Resorts Drivable from Concord New HampshireI know that 2020 has been a very trying year for all of us. Too much time on our hands, not able to socialize without being 6 feet apart, everything shut down. I’m feeling a bit of cabin fever myself. It makes me ponder what my future travel options are, as well as my clients. These are my thoughts: I do believe that international travel is not going to be possible for the foreseeable future. However, when wanderlust does hit, when you feel you need to make plans for an escape/getaway/break, a domestic trip to our beautiful 50 states is certainly within reach.
Whether that be a city escape, ocean or country, to your favorite destination or a new one that’s been on your list, please let me know, I’m a champion at organizing road trips, tours, or whatever here at home. I’ll be focusing on US escapes and ideas over the next 5 weeks. This week I’m focusing on 5 resorts drivable from Concord, New Hampshire. |
