10 – Shop for Travel Day: First celebrated in 2018, Shop for Travel Day has continued annually on the second Tuesday of the year ever since. The reason for it being situated at this time on the calendar has to do with the fact that, in many cases, the early weeks of January are an especially advantageous time to shop for travel due to many companies offering special deals and discounts. When was the last time you travelled within your own country? How about outside of your own country? If money (and time) were no object, where would you love to travel to?

We travel a decent amount within our region: We have season tickets to a Broadway series in an historic theater about 100 miles away and our hair people are in a neighboring state about 60 miles away (so every 6 weeks.) We also go to DC for a long weekend every year for a doctor's appointment and to see my brother in-law (that may be ending, since my doctor has changed practices.) We usually also try to fit in a longer weekend/week to go somewhere else; in 2022, that was Miami.

We also (not counting COVID years 2020-2021,) we usually go to Europe for 10 days to two weeks. Last year it was Italy. We have not quite decided on this year yet and for 2024, I am considering a food tour in Morocco.
