Frommer’s 2013 New Year’s Resolution includes tips on travel

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

 

As a person who eats, drinks, and sleeps cruises, I couldn’t help but jump onboard with Frommer’s # 9 & #12 !

 

# 9:  “I will never leave on any trip before spending at least a few hours reading about the history and culture of the place I am about to visit.”
 

If for no other reason, know a little of what you plan to do, before you get to your destination.  If not, you’ll spend half your morning just trying to make a decision.  Besides, half the fun, is anticipating what you will be doing, while in port !

 

#12:  “And finally, in the writing I do and the talks I deliver, I will continue to regard travel not as a mere recreation, but as a serious learning activity, a way of understanding the world, an essential element of a civilized life.”

 

This is so true.  Many folks look at vacation as a luxury.  In essence, it’s a necessity. It’s a time to build a bond with your mate, your family, or if traveling alone, a time in getting to know yourself even more. And until folks realize the value of travel, many are missing out on the nurishment our mind and body receives through taking time off from work … from daily routines … to do something different … challenging !  Rebuild excitement and newness in your life ! 

 

As it even says in the Bible … if you don’t use it, you loose it !  Relationships included !
