FAQ: How can I
travel by myself? I’ve never done that before
Answer: Look to the
Bible for the answer: 2nd Corinthians 12:10: When I am weak, then I
am strong. For my power is made perfect in weakness. Our own abilities prove
inadequate. However, if you look at this as an opportunity, you will be
pleased. Another quote from 2nd Corinthians 5: 16-18 says “Old
things have passed away, behold they have become new.” So new adventures will
replace the old ways. Good luck in your future travels and new experiences,
with God as your companion.
Today’s Independent Destination- Sydney, Australia
I spent about a dozen days in Australia, back in 1982, which was the trip
of a lifetime at the time. My father had been stationed there in the Navy, so
it had always been a dream from my youth to see this country.
Sydney’s most famous iconic image is the Opera house, and you should not
miss it. I was able to tour it and see a rehearsal of a ballet for the
Hunchback of Notre Dame. It’s a most impressive building, which looks like sails,
in three pats. It’s large inside, and the sound in the concert hall is
fantastic.
I would recommend a tour of the Sydney Harbor. Even on a cloudy day, you
can still get your bearings this way. The Captain Cook Coffee Cruise was a
delight. The bridges were just as you have seen them from afar, only close is
authentic. This was a neighborhood-like city, and I found several to be
welcoming, including Kings Cross, which at the time, reminded me of Greenwich
Village in New York City. People watching is a must do over a tea or a beer. The
pubs here are a chance to get to know the locals and learn about the culture. They
have plenty of each here. The Paddington Market was where I found a lot of souvenirs
for those back home and myself. By daylight and by night, you’ll fall in love
with Sydney. I started and ended my trip in Sydney and got to see a great deal
of the country. In a later episode, I’ll talk about my walkabout on Ayers Rock.
Stay tuned.
Today’s Lesson Learned- Be able to carry your stuff in one trip.
Don’t bring too much. If you can’t carry it all in one trip, you have too
much stuff. Only bring what you need and leave the rest behind. I’ve taken too
much stuff on my trips before and wished I had left half behind.
Today’s Travel Advice-Celebrate
the holidays of where you are. If you are in Canada and they have a holiday,
celebrate it. Where you are, adopt the culture and the manner of the celebration.
Don’t expect to celebrate 4th of July in another country.
