Special Edition Rewind Travel Episode 


In this episode: The FAQ is What have you cleaned now, for the first time? The destination is: Your Special Rewind Travel from 2015, the mistake is not writing a certain book, and the tip is to rewind your travel photos.

FAQ: What have you cleaned now, that you have never cleaned before the virus? For example, your passport.
Answer: On our private Dr Mary Travelbest Facebook group, members responded with creative and thoughtful answers. Here’s what you said, my key fob, my purse, market bag, all groceries, my workout gloves, my atm card, my credit card, my gym bag (now I wait for the gym to open), my iPad, my desktop keyboard, and even the bottom of my shoes was discussed in this topic. If you’re not a member of our group yet, please join the conversation. It’s open by approval only. If you’re listening now, say so, and you’ll be approved.


Today’s Independent Special Rewind Travel  
Rascal Flatts song lyrics to “Rewind:”

Wish I could reach up and reset that sun
Reverse these wheels go back and re-pick you up
Went by so fast oh so sweet
Make me wanna remake a memory
Wish I had me a time machine


If you are thinking about re-winding your travel, you may want to search your photos by year, and re-live that trip and the people you remember so well. That’s what I just did. I looked in my files to see the photos, to help me rewind. I found some photos that were worth saving, friends, family, etc. Maybe your travel rewind will help you better cherish the travel memories and inspire you to want to go to new and even re-visit some favorites again but see with a new fresh set of eyes and ears.

Cabrillo National Monument Part 1, using AI for travel, advice on guides

In this episode, the FAQ:  Can AI really help me travel?    Today’s Destination: Cabrillo National Monument Experience Part 1   Today’s Misstep- Mark Twain jokes about European tour guides in his travel books.   Travel Advice: If you are interested in travel and do as you listen here, why not purchase a guide that answers most of your questions in one place?    FAQ: Can really AI help me travel?    Answer: AI is a great tool kit for travel. Yes, but be sure to check for accuracy and hallucinations. You will also find bias. But you can start using your phone today to ask about some of the questions you have at this moment. “Do I need to bring an umbrella to England?” That’s a question you already are asking your Alexa, Siri, or other smart device. I just asked that. The answer was that it’s not raining right now in the UK. That did not answer my question, but it helped.  So don’t limit yourself and keep asking questions. Be sure...

Milan Italy

In this episode, the FAQ is: How do I manage increasing technology and security for travel?   Today’s Destination is: Milan, Italy   Today’s Misstep- I almost took a train to Switzerland at the Milan station   Travel Advice: Bring a handheld portable fan for the heat. It can be oppressive.   FAQ: The level of technology and security has stepped up for travel and entertainment. How do I manage it as a senior citizen in a very busy world?   Answer:    There is a growing level of distrust in today’s environment. For some venues, you can no longer use a screenshot of a QR code to access a ticket, so it must be a live link if you don’t have the paper ticket. If you are not on Wi-Fi, you may have trouble accessing the venue, like I did in July at the Symphony, where we used handwritten paper tickets.  The Crowdstrike tech shutdown of computers in July 2024, with thousands of airline flights canceled, was a peek into what could be an even lo...
