Embracing Our Inner Griswolds

The summer of 2022 was the season of “revenge tourism,” and my family was out for vengeance.

“Revenge tourism” meant taking a big trip in 2022 after plans for 2020 and 2021 were canceled or heavily altered, as Covid-19 made travel difficult or impossible. This past spring, my wife looked up the airfare rates to big European cities and was pleasantly surprised to see that Air France to Paris was the least expensive option. (Alas, “least expensive” is not a synonym for “not expensive.”)
