You traveled during a PANDEMIC?
Sure did. I don’t expect anyone to understand, but I did travel during, and will still continue to travel. See, travel to me, is so much more than flocking to the beach, getting drunk and stumbling back to my room. Don’t get me wrong, I have done that plenty of times. My life keeps handing…

Margaritaville St. Thomas at the End of Hurricane Season…on a Budget.
