Travel plays an important role for many families. Especially during the holidays, families are making plans to see their loved ones and visit some of their favorite places. Whether it just be your grandparent’s house or an international vacation, these trips usually have meaningful implications and a fond remembrance attached. 

The COVID-19 virus has put a lot of limitations on our lives; one of those being travel. Were you or someone you know forced to cancel a trip this year? It is a difficult task to let go of anticipated events that we were excited about.
