Shop for Travel Day: First celebrated in 2018, Shop for Travel Day has continued annually on the second Tuesday of the year ever since. The reason for it being situated at this time on the calendar has to do with the fact that, in many cases, the early weeks of January are an especially advantageous time to shop for travel due to many companies offering special deals and discounts. When was the last time you travelled within your own country? How about outside of your own country? If money (and time) were no object, where would you love to travel to?

The last time I travelled was in September, to southern California, for family reasons. The last time I travelled for fun was also September, out to Chicago for Worldcon.

The last time I travelled outside the US was to Montréal in 2009. We had plans to go to New Zealand in 2020, but, you know, stuff happened.

If time and money were no object, hoo boy, that would be a long list. I officially abandoned my attempt to find a way to go to a convention every weekend for a year several years ago, but I haven't been able to stop having a working list for it in the back of my mind. I also want to go to Europe and ride all the trains, and go to eastern Asia and ride all the trains, and see what kind of trip I could put together going to US cities and riding only rails.
