Travel Advice: If you are interested in travel and do as you listen here, why not purchase a guide that answers most of your questions in one place? 

 

FAQ: Can really AI help me travel? 

 

Answer: AI is a great tool kit for travel. Yes, but be sure to check for accuracy and hallucinations. You will also find bias. But you can start using your phone today to ask about some of the questions you have at this moment. “Do I need to bring an umbrella to England?” That’s a question you already are asking your Alexa, Siri, or other smart device. I just asked that. The answer was that it’s not raining right now in the UK. That did not answer my question, but it helped.  So don’t limit yourself and keep asking questions. Be sure to ask here for a reputable answer to some more challenging questions you want to know will be useful and relatable.

 

 

Today’s destination: Cabrillo National Monument Experience

Cabrillo National Monument is a beautiful spot in San Diego, offering incredible views and a mix of historical and natural experiences. Part 1 focuses on the experiences and Part 2 focus is the accessibility.

I’ve made this experience part of my life in San Diego, since first visiting as a tourist in 1977. It’s one of my all-time favorite places in the world. I hope you get to experience this amazing treasure. It’s such a treasure that I held my birthday party here one year and my friends all had a great time, too.

2. The Tide Pools and Oceanside Trail

I have used tour guides on some travels but have also regretted it at other times. If you comment, I’ll do a future episode on this topic. When to use a guide and when to go without.

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...
