FAQ is: Why is starting a trip sometimes so hard?

 

Answer: Anne Morrow Lindbergh said that it’s like you are a snail being pulled off your rock. Once I get started, it’s better. Are you that snail that needs to be pulled off your rock? As you listen to this and other episodes on travel, I hope you feel more and more like the eagle, who soars above and is a travel champion.

 

Today’s Special Episode is: Reunions for Independent Travelers.

 

That doesn’t sound “independent” to me, but you can make it so, with a plan to be solo before and/or after your get together.

 

If your family announces there is a “reunion” soon, you can begin planning your solo activities before and/or after the event now, without permission from the group. The actual details don’t need to be shared with others, so you can just say, “Sorry, I’m busy. “

 

Plan a few days ahead to see a nearby village, town, zoo, or museum, on your own, independently. That space you create just for you will fill you with good memories and carry you a long way once your group’s reunion begins.

 

Our family reunions have been held in different locations, including a Christmas in Colorado skiing, a visit to the aquarium in Atlanta, lunch on the beach in California, and on a cruise to Mexico. Each of these family reunions. had time for “independent” travel before, after or during the event. Be clear on what time you choose for yourself.

 

Reunion season seems to be more in the summertime. Start planning your adventure now, with excitement for your independent trip within a reunion trip.

Episode: Sun Moon Lake, Taiwan FAQ Should I use public transportation abroad?   Episode: Sun Moon Lake, Taiwan    Lesson Learned: Don’t schedule everything Day 1   Travel Tip: Trust your gut instincts, if unsure, pivot fast.   FAQ Response:  Should I use public transportation abroad?   Yes, you should try it at the least, but not in rush hour with all of your luggage. One way to test it out is to try it early in the morning, before rush-hour workers arrive, but while it’s still light outside.  Most of the time, you only need a card to swipe, and you can add money to the card when you need to. Your first care purchase is often at a self-service kiosk, and usually there is English translations here. Go for it and try.   Episode: Sun Moon Lake, Taiwan This scenic region reminded me of Lake Tahoe, California.  If you are coming you will Arrive in Taoyuan airport and take the train to the Taipei Main Station and take the HSR t...
