These days with the popular online discount companies, traveling has become so much more approachable. I really love Groupons www.groupons.com I’ve used them many times for various outings, from sushi dinners to two day road trip getaways, and have always had a great experience; so what’s the first thing I did?? Log on to Groupon Getaways!! Oh, be still my foolish heart!! Those panoramic vistas!! Those exotic destinations!! Punta Cana!! Dominican Republic!! Costa Rica!! Ireland!! Many under $1000.00? Are you kidding me?? Suddenly, the world is my oyster! OMG!! $799.00 for a 7 day trip to the Azores?? Including AIRFARE?? I want to go to the Azores!! Wait… where, exactly ARE the Azores? I go straight to the usual suspects: Google maps & Google images. Ooooh, Portugal… well… sort of. OK… this is all too much for me! I’ve got to reel it in & focus!
So, if you’re like me, and don’t know your number one destination off the top of your head (when asked the question: "Where do you want to go?" My answer is "EVERYWHERE!!") just ask yourself… Where have you always wanted to go? What type of culture or cuisine calls to you, are there customs, rituals, décor or clothing that has always spoken to you? Do you collect certain artifacts? Are you drawn to books or movies set in a certain time or place? Is it exploration of your familial heritage that beckons? Was there a poem or a painting you wanted to step into as a child? These are your bread crumbs… follow the trail.. they’re telling you something. Listen.
Think about it... then please share with me what you hear!!
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY :
"WHEN THE TRAVELER IS READY
THE TRIP WILL APPEAR."
