Marietta, Georgia and the best seat on the plane


In this episode, the FAQ says that one of our followers does not fly much. She asked me, “What’s the best seat on the plane?”

.

Today’s Destination is: Marietta, GA

Today’s Misstep- On Southwest, I paid twice for the Internet. 

Travel Advice: Get a good night’s sleep on the road with a clear head in bed.

 

FAQ: What’s the best seat on the plane? That was the question asked by someone who doesn’t fly much.

 

Response: I think the best seat is a window seat, but you may prefer the aisle if you want to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin.

On Southwest Airlines, there are no assigned seats, so you get the seat you want if you are one of the first to board. 

I love looking out the window and feel I have more privacy with that view. I also have at least one elbow rest that I can use. 

 

When I fly a budget airline, they ask me to buy a seat, but I rarely do that. They often seat me in the middle, but sometimes I get lucky.

 

Today’s destination: Marietta, GA

 

I spent the day in Marrietta, GA, at the historic homes and cafe market by the old train station. Marietta Square is full of great local food stalls. I had a very fresh poke bowl. 

The city has charm, touristy vibes, and a local flavor. People settle here because they like the small-town feel.

It’s north of Atlanta, about 46 kilometers or 29 miles.

 

You can take the MARTA from the airport and then transfer to Arts Center Station to bus, which will take you to the Marietta Transfer Center. Plenty of Airbnb and hotels will host you here.

 

If you have a car, drive to Kennesaw, about 10 minutes drive



Kennesaw, GA -special episode on this place?

 

Blue Pineapple Travel Agency, Nicole and Casey were hiking ahead of me, and I asked them if this trail leads back to the Visitor’s Center, and they said YES.

So I started walking and talking; before you knew it, we were old friends.

 

Today’s Misstep: I was working on Southwest Airlines and paid for the internet twice.

 

This was the first time that I used and paid for the internet. I used my Southwest Airlines mobile app to pay for it because it was convenient. I had trouble getting it, and a flight attendant helped me out. Then I told them I wanted to use my laptop for work, so I had to purchase a second time for that service. Each was only $8.00, and they offered me a refund when I asked for it. It should appear on next month’s credit card statement as a refund.

 

Today’s Travel Advice- Get a good night’s sleep on the road with a clear head in bed.

 

When your head hits the pillow, make sure your brain is relaxed. Wind down your screen time at least a half hour before, and take a minute to think about what you’re grateful for. That will give you a clear head and a good night’s sleep most of the time when you travel.

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.

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

In this episode: Faq on what you should share on social media?   Destination: Seychelles, Travel Mistake, Travel Tip FAQ What ways should you be careful in terms of sharing about your travels on social media? What should you be careful about for the content you post and your replies? Social media is a blessing today, but for some it is a curse. Here are some tips for using it while on the road. Social media distracts from the real experience, so consider how you interact with those you are with and those you could be talking with instead of trying to get the best social post to strangers. Get your research from friends before you go. Ask. Where should you go? Stay? Eat? Visit? Once on the road, limit your social media to when you really need to connect. Otherwise, take a break!
