My first trip up Cadillac Summit in Acadia National Park was at the tail end of a impetuous road trip through the Blue Ridge, Alleghany, Poconos, White and Berkshire Mountains.
A seasonal automobile extravaganza with every place and pace all mine nary a reservation or chartered course.
But that was then and this is now.
2021 as the world continues to open up AND book up consumers may remember this as the Year of the Determined Traveler.
Or in the industry, the Year of the Sagacious Travel Advisor.
And this one is saying, trust me. Planning ahead is the best and here are some ideas going fast…
