And go where? Everywhere and anywhere – to Austria and Alaska, Maui and Mont St. Michel.
Stuck at home for the past 10 months, Cleveland travelers have compiled long lists of places they want to visit when the world is safe again. We asked readers to share their travel plans for 2021, and we heard from dozens of would-be wanderers with an overflowing suitcase of pent-up demand.
Their destinations were all over the map – from Antarctica to Albania, Cincinnati to California.
But some themes emerged.
Many readers said their travel plans revolved around visiting family – children and grandchildren, sisters and cousins, who, in some cases, haven’t been seen in nearly a year.

OFF AND ON As I begin this column, we re having some of that mixed weather where it sunshines one minute and rains the next and sometimes it does both at the same time! It looks like we are still in for some showers this week but it is mixed with some dry days at the beginning of this week, so we ll take what dry weather we can get. Of course clear skies usually mean freezing at night, so here s hoping you ve prepared your faucets properly for that, and your outside critters are getting some extra feed of good quality to help them fight off the chill. If current weather models hold, we will end 2020 with rain and start 2021 with the same thing; I do hope that s not a sign!

Hang on to your hats! Prepare for another CHILLY night with temperatures dropping below freezing so bring in the pets and plants once again!
