If we’ve learned nothing else from recent events, we’ve learned this: Plans change.
But when your plans allow for travel — when you’re ready to experience some forgotten gems across the nation, or just hit the road for the road’s sake — we’ve got more than enough ideas to get you on your way. No matter where you live, what region of the country has caught your interest, or how long your journey will last, you’ll find something in these pages to
help set you in motion.
Not ready to book a trip? Armchair travel is OK, too.
We’ve also got details if you’re looking into a longer-term relocation, including some words from our sponsors.
If there is a spot we’ve missed, an attraction you’d like to share, or a place you’ve truly missed during your time on deployment (or stuck at home), use the subject line Dream Destinations to send a message to editor@moaa.org. We may use your comments in a future issue, or use them to help plan upcoming coverage.
