What we have been doing is combining our so called snowbird travel with some our respective bucket lists. Adjusted for late booking deals, currency , and meeting up with past travel friends along the way. If we are going to travel we may as well hit the warm spots in the our winter time.
Often we know where we are going for the first few days, week or so. Then we book as we go. We usually know where we will be be for our flight home. Everything in between is always subject to change. So far we have spent our winters in SE Asia (Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam), Australia, South America, Central America, and Mexico. We have had past trips to Florida, Hawaii, Arizona.
Still on our list is to do another African safari but this time in our winter time and combine it with a great deal of beach time Africa. Plus go back for more Thailand (via India solo for me) and more Australia.
All subject to post covid of course. We are grounded at the moment like everyone else.
