We had big plans for 2020 until Covid-19 hit. In the spring we were planning a swing thru central Europe aiming at Poland and the Czech Republic. Those plans were cancelled at the last minute when the lockdowns began around the world. We also had a fall trip planned to visit Croatia and Greece that was also overcome by events.
I decided to exercise Scout for a couple of weeks in January so there are a few entries for 2020. In the fall we tested Covid traveling with a couple of short trips locally. As I update this at Thanksgiving it looks like we are done for the year.
For the year we travelled for a disappointing 32 days over three short trips. One pre-pandemic, and two local trips during the pandemic. Heres looking forward to 2021.
