Everyone knows that COVID forced a screeching halt in the way of the world as we knew it—and that beyond our day-to-day routines, the cancellations and adjustments included our celebrations, extracurricular activities, and vacation plans, too.

“We have traveled to Maui every August for the last eight years, except last year,” said Keri Baugh, who runs the family travel blog Bon Voyage With Kids. “When celebrating our 10th anniversary there in 2010, we made a promise we would absolutely celebrate our 20th there as well; last year, we were uncertain until the last minute if we might be able to squeeze Maui in, but due to the state’s closures, we were unable to travel there. The 20th anniversary we had planned and expected to celebrate in Maui for the last 10 years was not to be.”
