Travel well

We have a survey on this blog about what you want to do on your "Bucket list". The term is from the movie of the same name and referes to what a person wants to see or do before they kick the bucket. In our survey, a long boat cruise or a long train ride seem to be the top choices.


Over the years we have done several boat cruises and really enjoy the luxury of doing nothing. The downfall is the amount of food available, and the lack of discipline we disply when confronted with this challenge. My wife and I did get to the gym twice in the last cruise, but seeing that we traveled seven days, that was not a great accomplishment.
The great thing about travel is the ability to experience the variety of life in different locations. Lisa St. Aubin de Terán, a well traveled and prolific author once said,  "Travelling is like flirting with life. It's like saying, 'I would stay and love you, but I have to go; this is my station."
 Fortunately, I dont think we have ever been to a place that we were anxious to leave, so her thoughts do ring true. To stand in the midst of things like the Grand Canyon, Hawaii beaches, Colorado Mountains, Paris beauty, Roman history, and so many other things, is like having a Whitman Sampler Candy box with all the places of the world in it. You have to have more than one.

Remember the Old Traveler’s Saying: “You may lose your money and your health and your sanity and some important organs, but they can't take away your travel memories unless they hit you hard on the head.”
