It’s summertime, even if it’s not quite the same in 2020

It’s that time of year, but we’re well aware it’s not (quite) the same in 2020. Summer is typically when the majority of people take a chunk of time off work — or are blessed with long holidays from school / university — and bask in the glory of the warm sun next to a body of water. 2020, better known as the year that keeps on giving, has certainly changed that most sacred routine to varying degrees for different people, but that doesn’t mean a vacation (or staycation, if you want to help local tourism) is completely off the table.

Let’s just get something out of the way right now. If you’re more of a winter person than a summer person, we don’t see eye-to-eye on that, but this issue doesn’t discriminate. There’s something in it for everyone.

We’re not here to tell you whether or not to travel — rather, we’re here to tell you about all our favorite spots here at home and abroad, as well as the uncharted territories each one of us has on our bucket lists. And because we here at Enterprise are sticklers for well-laid plans, we’re (only somewhat begrudgingly) spilling our tried and true secret tips for the most seamless travels.
