Where to travel for Thanksgiving 2020
Spend your Thanksgiving vacation outdoors
As you take time to reflect on what you're thankful for this Thanksgiving 2020, consider spending time in nature. The great outdoors allows easy social distancing, the chance to unwind and disconnect from technology, and a front-row seat to the changing seasons in the US. For a cheap Thanksgiving vacation, consider spending time hiking in a National Park, fishing on Cape Cod, or enjoying the last of the brilliant fall foliage in the north Georgia mountains. You can spend time with family making memories and feeling grateful for the beauty the US has to offer.
A change of scenery for Thanksgiving 2020
After months of lockdowns and travel restrictions, a change of scenery may be just what the doctor ordered for a Thanksgiving getaway. If the whole extended family usually gathers at your home for Thanksgiving, consider hosting dinner in a home exchange instead! You could find a home with a pool and turn Thanksgiving dinner into a pool party, stay in a house between everyone's homes to reduce travel times for those farthest away, or celebrate Thanksgiving in a sustainable, eco-friendly home. Your family and friends will love bringing their traditions to a new setting, and since there are thousands of home exchanges that accommodate 8+ guests, there's sure to be room for everyone.
Let someone else do the cooking this Thanksgiving
If you're not set on a traditional, home-cooked meal for Thanksgiving 2020, consider letting someone else do the cooking! Travel to Texas for superb Mexican food, have a classic seafood dinner in Louisiana, or enjoy few glasses of wine in a California vineyard. This year, you don't have to spend Thanksgiving chained to the kitchen preparing food and then hours cleaning up. Give yourself a break and take advantage of some of the delightful dishes the United States has to offer. You can have turkey any day of the year— do some Thanksgiving travel and make it a Thanksgiving dinner to remember.
