I always get the travel itch around the holidays. Whether I’m craving the experience of magical gingerbread-scented snow that falls in Disneyland or I need to escape the bad weather to a tropical locale, I get the winter blues if I don’t have a plane ticket in my hand around the holidays.
It’s not always feasible, and of course I also love spending the holidays with my family, but a way for me to escape when the weather outside is frightful is on my treadmill!
