Chances are if you haven’t traveled this year, you’ve thought about it. A lot. After all, nothing increases our desire to travel more than not being able to travel, as being stuck at home is, we surmise, the leading cause of imaginations running wild. Will you travel again soon? That’s a million-dollar question that relies on a lot of factors, none more than whether or not you’re ready to travel.
So, whether you plan to travel next month or next year, you’ll still need to make sure your travel gear is up to date. The best time for picking up new gear? Amazon Prime Day 2020. The deals are in and they’re better than ever. You just need to act fast, as some of these will expire quicker than you can sing Eddie Money’s “Two Tickets to Paradise.”
