Have Your Vacation Plans Been Pandemic-ed?

Among the many things at least potentially impacted by the pandemic are the plans for this year’s vacation(s). This week we’d like to know, have you made plans, postponed them, forged ahead – or still thinking about it?

Let’s face it…when 100+ days of various stages of lockdown, working from home (which, oddly, now has its own WFH acronym), and (largely) being kept from going about our normal routines have likely made taking a vacation – time away from all…this… more essential to our well-being than ever.

At the same time…travel is now…complicated…and social distancing makes gathering…complicated…so plans may have to change from what was planned months, or even years ago… or have they?

Now, 2020 is only a bit more than half-over, and who knows what developments lie ahead – but this week, we’re curious if you’ve had a vacation, are still planning to take one, and if the latter, how (if at all) your original plans may have changed.
