Pre-Travel For travel to Jamaica, as well as many other destinations these days, I was required to have a negative Covid-19 test. I searched initially for "Utah Covid testing near me."

After a video chat with a doctor, who wrote the order, I drove to the clinic at my convenience, called the Covid hotline, and was tested and had my results back in less...

A few years ago I was introduced to something that is the BEST! It includes the joy of adventuring in the outdoors PLUS not having to do all of the work of camping. PLUS luxury and comfort. It’s called glamping (glamorous camping).
