Given the uncertainty around traveling abroad, we decided to stick to domestic destinations during 2021, with an emphasis on places we haven’t been (a long list). In particular, we thought this might be a good year to take a driving trip in Alaska, before tour and cruise activity returns to pre-pandemic levels. After a short bit of research and som...
