FAQ: How can I explore more when staying home?

The answer is: That depends. “Puerto Backyardo” is where some of my colleagues are heading for next holidays. We need to keep our sense of humor.
During this shutdown, we all have had some time to sort through our backyards, garage, attic, basement, or storage locker. You can find new exciting projects to entertain and amuse you. Think of it as exploring what’s right in front of you. This is a good time to clear the space for future imagination and delight. While we stay home, we can still ride that bicycle and explore new territory, even if it’s imaginary.

Destinations: Deciding which places to visit

These are other things that I consider as I plan a trip
Bargain vs Spending.
Easy directions, expense, variety, goals,
Offbeat
Extreme
Diving
Photography
Standing invitations

Do you have travel awards pending? Review deals on the main travel websites like Skyscanner, Google Flights, Expedia and Booking. Lastly, get your friends together and decide on a trip. That’s what we did for a trip to Lake Powell, on a houseboat. You can take memories like this for a lifetime.

RIP Dean Alphonso Buell

Celebrating the life of Dean Alphonso Buell in April, 2012 with his mom and two friends. Dr. Travelbest is priviledged to know Raquel Giraldez, mother of the deceased, as she was the designer and illustrator and most travelled friend of Dr. Travelbest in 1993 as the book was being written and published. Dean was involved with the editorial, even though he was a youngster at the time. Thanks, Dean, for sharing your mom so that Dr. Travelbest could teach others about Independent Travel. Speaking of travel, this is the view from the front yard of Raquel's home in Buellton, CA. The mountains in the distant background are picture postcard on this memorable day, right near the 101. (Photos: top: view from Raquels, bottom: center, Raquel and right, Rosanna Figuerola (sp?) at the Celebration of Dean's 24 years on the earth.) There were so many stars that night, we knew that Dean was watching us from above with his new friends.

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...
