FAQ: How can I find out the travel restrictions for a place I want to visit?

 

Answer: State Department

 

Travel.state.gov

 

 is the website to visit to get up to date travel restrictions, maps and what you need, including passport updated info. You will see every region has a level of restriction, and most say “travel restricted” or “do not travel” now. That will change over the next few months, and years, so stay aware of the rules as you are planning future trips.

 

Today’s Independent Destination- Lincoln Nebraska

 

My sister in law, Cindy, is from Lincoln, so she told me some great things to do there. Here are some of my favorites.

 

  • Pioneers Park was expansive and even during Covid, you can drive around and enjoy the sights from your vehicle. If you can, Drive to the Nature Center
  • You’ll notice some nice Golf courses, flat breezy
  • Red cars a lot in Nebraska, and lots of Barns
  • What about Nature? Elk, bison, turtles, frogs, Nature center has 600 acres of prarie, wetlands, and woodlands plus 8 miles of hiking.
  • University of Nebraska, downtown, walking city, capital of Nebraska.
  • SAC Museum
  • Runza Hamburger, Valentino’s Pizza
  • Lincoln Highway
  • Rails to trails

RIP Dean Alphonso Buell

Image
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.

Dr. Mary Travelbest in Washington and Oregon?

Image
Are you travelling in the great Northwest this year? If you are, what is your favorite activity to do on the road? We just returned from a 4500 mile car trip, the ultimate road trip, really. We went north through all of the US through to Canada and even up into Banff and Jasper National Parks, before going west to Vancouver, then down through Washington and Oregon before returning to San Diego, California. This image includes some of the activities in Oregon (top two) and Washington (bottom two). The top left is on the beach in Brookings, Mill Beach. A residential area with only about 5 parking spots, so I doubt this will ever be a busy beach. Brookings is just north of the California border on Highway 5. The top right photo, also Brookings, shows a man on a boat called Lady Louise who sells crabs. These are the freshest crabs that I ever tasted. He catches them using traps during the morning, sells them all that day. He offers a fair price and then steams them for you. You will fin

Dayton, Ohio

Independent Travel Shownotes Dayton, Ohio In this episode: Volunteer travel is the FAQ, the destination is Dayton, Ohio, and the mistake is booking airfare too late. The travel tip is to watch out for street food. FAQ: How can I volunteer in my travel? I’ve heard of voluntourism and I want to know more about that. First, that’s great to think about as you determine your plans for independent travel and the first places to visit are volunteermatch.com and govountoriing.com to see what opportunities are out there. You may find a mission in Vietnam, Cambodia or Haiti. Or you may find work in San Francisco or New Orleans. If you want to go somewhere not too far from home, but still   have a foreign experience, why not visit Mexico? There are programs with GlobeAware, Roadmonkey and I-to-I Volunteering . You could also volunteer locally. Two that I know about personally are Habitat for Humanity and Door of Faith Orphanage . Keep your eyes open for opportunities and let
