Thinking about how my upcoming Christmas trip to Prague, Vienna and Budapest is slowly but surely starting to take shape reminded me of the Colonel John “Hannibal” Smith line from the ’80s TV series, The A-Team. I’m probably really dating myself by admitting that show and quote comes to mind for any reason whatsoever, butContinue reading “I love it when a plan comes together”

Holding Pattern
Now that I’ve finally determined that I’ll be visiting Prague, Vienna and Budapest during my next “big” trip (I will likely take a “little” one the month prior) as well as with whom I will be traveling (my son – YAY!), I’ve become incredibly antsy (yes, a surprise for those who know me) to get all ofContinue reading “Holding Pattern”
And the winner is……. Prague!
Well, the headline of this post is quite incomplete, possibly even a bit inaccurate, since I’m the real winner being that my son agreed to be my travel buddy on my upcoming trip once again. But as far as the travel destination selection goes, Prague, along with Vienna and Budapest, won my internal debate about where I should spendContinue reading “And the winner is……. Prague!”
What comes first, the city or the plane?
Now that my travel companion for my upcoming vacation has been determined, the planning process has officially commenced. My travel buddy will once again be my son – YAY! Yes, the trip will cost me twice as much as if I were to travel with friends who would be paying their own way, but IContinue reading “What comes first, the city or the plane?”
The Question Words of Travel
I’ve been finding myself struggling ad nauseam with the conundrum of how to approach the planning of my next much anticipated vacation. Normally, I’m not so indecisive and without direction of my next steps, but with so many variables undefined, I was having trouble determining the best angle from which to attack the travel planningContinue reading “The Question Words of Travel”
The Buddy System
Looking back at my early travels, I never realized how important a decision it is to pick the “right” travel mates. As children, my brother and I were by default part of our parents’ little travel posse, which provided an amazing introduction to the world of travel and adventure. When I was engaged in myContinue reading “The Buddy System”
“I Wish I Could Afford to Travel”
I’ve heard that line so many times when people ask me about my past and upcoming travel plans. They often act like attaining the goal of taking a trip similar to mine equates to completing the quest for the Holy Grail. Travel and vacations typically aren’t free, so yes, some travel budgeting is necessary for those ofContinue reading ““I Wish I Could Afford to Travel””
Where To, Mack?
One of the most difficult things for me insofar as travel planning is concerned is trying to figure out where I want to go next. Typically, the target for my next destination would be somewhere I’ve not yet been or at least a place where I haven’t been since I was a kid, so theContinue reading “Where To, Mack?”
To Plan or Not To Plan….
….in my humble opinion, should never be the question insofar as travel is concerned. Even if you don’t suffer from my personal malady of chronic OCD tendencies (yes, those who personally know me are undoubtedly shocked by this revelation), I can’t imagine a travel scenario in which lacking at the very least a general gameContinue reading “To Plan or Not To Plan….”
