Zion and Bryce Canyon, a Independent Travel Trip


In this episode: The FAQ is: What is Independent Travel? The Destinations are Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks, Utah. The mistake is booking round trip tickets automatically, and the travel tip is a quote from a known independent traveler.

What is independent travel? There are three kinds of independent travel. First, Independent (not with a tour guide), Second, semi-independent (on a cruise or excursion) and Third is solo. The last one is truly on your own, just you on the road. This podcast and book is focused on any of these three options for independent travel.

Today’s Mistake-Booking round trip without thinking it through
Instead of booking round trip, book two one-way tickets. My mistake was I went to Barcelona and once I got there, then I flew to Madrid. I should have booked my trip home from Madrid, instead of going back to Barcelona and then back to the US. So I wasted some time, nearly a day in transit and in time booking the trip back plus accomodations and airport travel. If you buy two round trip tickets, they may even be cheaper than a round trip ticket. Try it on your next international trip.

Today’s Travel Advice- Here’s a quote from Anthony Bourdain, who wrote on travel.

It seems that the more places I see and experience, the bigger I realize the world to be. The more I become aware of, the more I realize how relatively little I know of it, how many places I have still to go, how much more there is to learn. Maybe that’s enlightenment enough – to know that there is no final resting place of the mind, no moment of smug clarity. Perhaps wisdom, at least for me, means realizing how small I am, and unwise, and how far I have yet to go. (Anthony Bourdain, travel expert)


I want to bring meaning to your travel. Send me your travel tip or question to my Facebook page, group, Instagram, Twitter, or blog, and maybe you’ll see your tips in my next travel book on independent destinations.

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...
