It’s about that time of year when people start booking their summer travel. I know it’s easy for life to get the best of you, for time to fly by, and for you to realize, “Oh no—Labor Day is around the corner and we never got away.” You see everybody else going on their summer vacations. You see those Instagram posts on boats, of flowey linen outfits, and of colorful fruity cocktails. Something inside you is tugging at you saying let’s gooooo.
