Have you ever had that moment just before a trip where you are listening to the radio and every song is a great song? That is today. The whole 10 minute drive to my parents (bless their hearts, they bring me to the airport A LOT) I was singing at the top of my lungs to the radio. You want to know why? Because it’s travel day. I am off on another adventure. Even though it is a some what familiar place, a place I have been to twice before, I still get the excited high of travel. There is nothing like the feeling you get when you know you will be in a plane in just a few hours. Even if there is a delay or a mechanical error or if we have to taxi for 30 minutes before taking off, I’ll be the one in a window seat with a shit eating grin on her face. The child behind me can kick my seat all they want, because I am about to go on vaca., and I could care less about them. My mind is on the days to come.
This adventure is to Juneau, Alaska. Luckily I have family there that; 1. Let me stay at their place (thank you!), and 2. Can tell me what I should see for the touristy places and hole-in-the-wall places. When a person travels, they should seek both. It also really helps when you have someone who knows the area. For instance, what path up the mountain you should take if you want to see bears. I’ll be avoiding that one… They also give you the inside scoop about really, really important things, like you really don’t need to go through the Alaskan Brewery Tour to taste the beer. Like I said, important.
Trips are all about making memories and sharing then over social media with complete strangers who have no idea who you even are. 😉
Seriously, trips are about enjoying the time and company you are with. Trips are about learning new things and meeting new people. Most importantly, and when by the ocean, trips are about stuffing your face with more seafood than humanly possible.
