We were forced to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/65-of-2021-weddings-were-postponed-in-2020-due-to-covid-19\/\">give up weddings<\/a>, vacations, socializing, and many of the activities that we consider quintessential to an American summer.<\/p>\n<p>But now, COVID-19 vaccines are widely available in the U.S. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2021\/us\/covid-cases.html?action=click&amp;module=Top%20Stories&amp;pgtype=Homepage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">According to the <i>New York Times<\/i><\/a>, cases have fallen nearly 50% compared to the 7-day average during last summer&rsquo;s peak. President Joe Biden has announced plans to return American life to some sort of normalcy by July 4.<\/p>\n<p>But we&rsquo;re still in a pandemic. What does normalcy look like this year? Is this summer really going to be &ldquo;normal?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>We surveyed 1,000 Americans to learn more about their plans for this summer, how they compare to last summer, and how the pandemic has changed their social habits.<\/p>\n<p>Here&rsquo;s a quick overview of what we found:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nearly 90% of Americans have a vacation booked this summer, and 74.5% say they&rsquo;re traveling more this year than they did in an average year before COVID.<\/li>\n<li>Most people are still keeping their vacations local, though. More than 90% said they were traveling within their region, and more than half don&rsquo;t plan to leave their home state.<\/li>\n<li>Americans will be flocking to the beach this year. 51.1% of people say beaches are in the top 3 activities they missed last year. Also popular this summer are BBQs with family and friends, and live concerts.<\/li>\n<li>While most people are flying more than they did in 2020, driving is still the most popular way to travel. 48.5% of people say they&rsquo;re driving more this year than last year, and 47% say they&rsquo;re driving more than they did in an average summer before COVID.<\/li>\n<li>Almost 60% of Americans plan to spend more than $2,000 on vacations this summer, which is higher than the average Americans spend annually on summer vacations.<\/li>\n<li>Despite their spending, many people are favoring shorter trips this weekend. Most are planning week-long (41.7%) or weekend (32.3%) vacations.<\/li>\n<li>Nearly 60% of respondents said they&rsquo;ll only be traveling with their immediate family this summer. 20.1% plan to travel with friends.<\/li>\n<li>Unsurprisingly, COVID is still shaping the way Americans think about social interactions. 78.7% of respondents said they prefer gathering in small numbers, and 45% of those say that&rsquo;s because of the pandemic. 64.3% of respondents said the pandemic shifted their preferences about their social lives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>RELATED: <\/b>Read more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/how-to-be-a-good-neighbor\/\">how to be a good neighbor<\/a> as the pandemic draws to a close.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"people-are-traveling-more-this-summer-than-they-did-even-before-covid\">People Are Traveling More This Summer than they Did Even Before COVID<\/h2>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, the summer of 2020 didn&rsquo;t go as anyone planned.<\/p>\n<p>According to our survey:<\/p>\n<p><img  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7838 pk-lazyload\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"People Are Traveling More This Summer than they Did Even Before COVID\"  width=\"1789\"  height=\"1039\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"(max-width: 1789px) 100vw, 1789px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/01-Americans-Plans-Were-Disrupted-2020.png\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/01-Americans-Plans-Were-Disrupted-2020.png 1789w, https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/01-Americans-Plans-Were-Disrupted-2020-300x174.png 300w, https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/01-Americans-Plans-Were-Disrupted-2020-1024x595.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/01-Americans-Plans-Were-Disrupted-2020-768x446.png 768w, https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/01-Americans-Plans-Were-Disrupted-2020-1536x892.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/01-Americans-Plans-Were-Disrupted-2020-380x221.png 380w, https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/01-Americans-Plans-Were-Disrupted-2020-550x319.png 550w, https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/01-Americans-Plans-Were-Disrupted-2020-800x465.png 800w, https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/01-Americans-Plans-Were-Disrupted-2020-1160x674.png 1160w\" ><\/p>\n<p>This summer, though, it seems like people might be making up for lost time. 88.3% of survey respondents say they&rsquo;re going on one trip this summer, and 69.6% say they&rsquo;re taking two or more 2021 summer vacations.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly three quarters of people (74.5%) said they&rsquo;re planning to travel more this summer than they did even in an average, pre-COVID summer.
