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.

Travel Planning: Ecuador

 Ecuador: planning Listener Story Spotlight I want to tell you about a listener named Pat who loves to take 40-minute walks. She does one every day. We have traveled together to Spain and have been ski buddies for over 10 years. She's a superb figure skater and loves cats. Maybe you even know my friend. Her last name is Brown, inspiring me to go to the Galapagos Islands this year. Thanks, Pat, for that encouragement.   The FAQ for today is:  How do you choose your outfits for weather conditions that constantly change? The answer is more straightforward than you think: It's basic colors, basic footwear, and layers, including a layer of insulated and waterproof clothing with a hat. You can also buy things along the journey, so if you don't have one now, you can get one later. What brings you more confidence? Is it knowing where you are going to sleep tonight? Is it knowing the language? Is it knowing you don't have to worry about anything? Let me know your thought...
