Beat the faraway blues. It’s always good to have a trip plan on the horizon, even if it’s a day trip to a nearby town, a weekend at the coast or back to visit friends and family. Especially during the hotter months when town and the events calendar is quiet, it can be nice to have a getaway to look forward to.
