It's Friday, which means it's Virtual Vacation o'clock!

Today we're dipping our toes into the sand and adding some US islands to our bucket list. Yes, that's right — you can embrace island life without jetting off to the Caribbean. Because I can't imagine a better antidote to 2020 than lying on a beach with a drink in hand.

So whether you're currently deep in snow or just starting to break out the sweaters, enjoy this quick break into island paradise.

TASTE BUD TRIP: EL SALVADOR

Salvadoran Pupusas

The closest thing to hopping on a plane to this small Central American country is biting into a fluffy pupusa stuffed with melty cheese, refried beans, and chicharrón. Similar to an arepa, these are best served piping hot — perfect for the upcoming cold months.
