A 200+ mile road trip to the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon (just outside Wellsboro, PA) in October 2020. My husband and I met up with another couple up there. It was much needed as I was going stir crazy at home. We are planning to visit his adult niece in Boston in a few months, perhaps September.

We got back from Hawaii end of Jan last year - just before the lockdown. Was planning to go back a couple of months ago but rental car prices were over $3K/wk so cancelled. One of the "best prices" weekly rentals was $52K - would have been cheaper to buy instead.

Have been going between our houses in San Diego and Las Vegas about once a month - both areas have been fairly open in the areas I live. The traffic between SD/LA and LV was very low at first and stayed low most of last year - it has been climbing since vaccinations were more available about 4-5 months ago. Still not back fully but getting there.

Went to see family in NorCal (Bay Area) a few months ago - more shutdowns than where I live in LV or SD. Lots of stores and restaurants closed in some areas the week or so that I was there. Have a trip planned to go back there in a few weeks.

Planned to go to a national park (Grand Canyon) but the rental I had set up was cancelled by the owner, I have heard about crowds being bad and limited facilities open so did not reschedule.

We drove from here in the Seattle are to Portland, Oregon a couple of times, about 3 hours each way. We have also gone to the Port Angeles/Sequim WA area a few times, also about 3 hours each way.

In December we drove about a 1,000 miles each way from St. Louis, MO to Moab, Utah (stopping half way each time in Denver). Last summer we drove to Rapid City, SD, so technically that was our longest trip since we did all 900 miles in one day.

Becoming a parent was generally probably the biggest adventure I’ve had since the pandemic started lol.

That said, geographically speaking, finally got the chance to get out over a 10 day trip earlier this month.
-Salt Lake City
-Twin Falls
-Boise
-Craters of the Moon
-Idaho Falls
-West Yellowstone
-Big Sky
-Bozeman
-Livingston
-Yellowstone NP
-Grand Teton NP
-Jackson
-Park City

Furthest point away is Bozeman almost exactly 2000 miles from home. Could be worse, I suppose! Amazing trip.

And I thought I was bad for not having been further than the adjoining cities to mine.

(We are in need of a new car.)

Flew from Portland, Oregon to Daytona Beach, Florida in April to enjoy some freedom and shop for a house.

We are ditching the PacNW for NE FL in 12 months!

I did a somewhat similar drive from So Cal to Bozeman and then down through Utah. Beautiful country!! I loved Twin Falls!

Not strictly travel, but I was driving 18 wheelers, so...basically everywhere. Otherwise, a trip from East Texas to W. NYS to see family.
