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.

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.

Guest Post: Lizandra Jimenez Rodriguez

I want to travel independently, does that makes sense? Written by: Lizandra Jimenez Rodriguez When traveling becomes a great passion, you usually keep a bucket list framed at your desk or in the lock screen of your phone. You never stop planning or deciding when, where, and how to get to the next place. There are tons of ways to travel, however, independent travel has been always a popular one for those seeking adventure, exploring on their own, or simply trying to get away from the traditional and superficial (for some) tourist routine. A myth we need to forget is that independent travel is not all about backpacking in Europe or climbing the Everest; in fact, it can be done in many ways including different levels of budget and luxury. Also, independent travel can be done solo or with an affinity group with a particularly crafted itinerary. This makes it very different from escorted traveling of course. Companies have understood how escorted traveling is not for everyone and to
