The Stresses of Traveling

They weren’t lying when they said that traveling is stressful. Since I’ve been with the State Department I’ve had my share of stress during travel to include but not limited to: forgetting two of my sweaters at some places, forgetting a mouse, forgetting chargers, for getting food in the refrigerator, forgetting peoples names, and losing luggage in in route to Basrah, losing luggages in cabs. Of course I got them all back eventually. I just hope now I won’t be losing my mind. Lol!!  Although I feel like I left it in Florida.

For this short time I am inviting you into my world of traveling. I just traveled with my daughter who doesn’t go on plane rides, or travel much. I told her the plane was shaky because there were clouds in the sky and it has particles in it which causes plane to shake. I also told her that the pilot was a rookie pilot who didn’t know how to land the plane or fly it comfortably for passengers. Although the weather was funky but still I have had my share of flights just not on West Jet lol!!

The good side about getting this much travel is that I know what to expect. Which is to expect the unexpectable (tears of laughter).  One, knowing exactly when to turn airplane mode, when door has closed. Knowing to put seat up and tray tables back before taking off. Knowing exactly when a plane is about to land. Know the exact approximate time it takes to board and unboard the plane. 😂  Knowing the procedures for security check I can do it with my eyes closed. Knowing exactly what a hotel needs when you check in.  Knowing a good hotel from a bad hotel. Knowing a good bed from a bad bed.  Knowing that taking a carry-on is the best way to travel without waiting and packing smarter. There is probably more I can’t think of at this time. Last but not least, finally overcoming the fear of flying.

So I hope you enjoy reading and I invite you to travel more. Nothing can replace the eyes or experiences of a world traveler.  It widens your world just a little bit.
