For many people, the holidays are the highlight of the year. Even beyond the magnificent feasts and heartwarming family gatherings, the break from school or work brings a great opportunity for unforgettable trips and experiences. With the right planning and precautions, you can still take the time to make some seasonal memories. Check out these two ideas for a fun winter vacation.
A Relaxing Staycation
Of course, the safest vacation you can take is the one that doesn’t require travel at all. Staycations are a great way to treat yourself on your time off without going far from home. Winter might just be the best season for a staycation, too. Cozy pajamas, roaring fires, and your favorite holiday treats are all waiting for you in the comfort of your home. You don’t have to stay cooped up in the house all day, either. Enjoy the snowy weather by filling your front yard with beautiful snowmen or get your fill of the holiday lights with a stroll or ride around the neighborhood. Staycations offer many phenomenal ideas for a pandemic-safe winter vacation. Most importantly, you and your family will spend quality time relaxing and making memories together.
RV Travel
If you do travel, there are a few things you can do to make the trip safer. RVs eliminate the need for public transport or crowded hotels. Instead, you’ll hit the road with all the comforts of home. An RV lets you go anywhere. Whether you want to go south for the winter or take advantage of fewer crowds in the country’s most iconic locations, you’ll find no end to the incredible winter destinations for RVers. Just be sure to check park availability and note any safety measures in place before you go. The more prepared you are, the easier—and safer—your trip will be.
