Travelling light with your family

Travelling Light with your Family on Vacation

Travel Light and you be more present to the

wonders of the world and maybe even pick up a few

epiphanies along the way about… well, about

almost anything and everyone including yourself.

Believe me if you follow the above suggestion you

gain in ways I could never know. And you will

gain the respect of your family for your road

wisdom. Your motto should be "LEAVE IT AT HOME!"

If you can buy it at your destination - do it!

Leave clothes, cameras (yes cameras, I buy the

little light digital ones available all over the

globe now), make up (why are you getting away if

you need the same face where you are going?),

books, guides, cell phones (I know this is a BIG

one, but unless you are going to be gone more

than two weeks -TAKE A BREAK! You will be AMAZED

at how free you will be NOT being called or

calling anyone!) .

Rediscover who you and your family can be without

all our cultural techno entrapments! Tune in,

turn on to the simple wonders of (as that GREAT

philosopher - Alan Watts - so eloquently spoke

about) DOING NOTHING! This is a great way to

health and wonder and yes, happiness! Sleep more,

take a walk going NOWHERE and leave your cell

phone back in Detroit.

Less is more. Just take ready cash the amount

dependent on where you are going and the length

of your stay a credit card and your medicines.

That is it all, everything! And teach these

common sense ways to your kids (who always

require more "stuff"), and they will reward you

with less stress and more quiet, sleep time and

better meals.

Family vacations are best if one cultivates an

attitude of detachment from outcomes. And this is

most easily obtained by leaving things at home.

So choose a great travel agent and cruise line

and airline and pay the extra buck up front to do

this. And it is crucial at this point to ASK FOR

EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT UP FRONT! You will thank me

and yourself many times if you do this and you

will save you and your family from the stress of

changing airlines or hotels (or rooms), or scuba

lessons etc…. later on.

So get out there as the big wide world waits and

is waiting for your smiling face! And DON'T BRING

YOUR TOOTHBRUSH! Well maybe you can pack your

toothbrush, but LEAVE EVERYTHING ELSE AT HOME!

Have fun:
