we resolve to...
- be a better global ambassador exhibiting the true spirit of America--not what is on TV.
- take any and all vacation time we've earned...and steal whatever extra days off we can (you deserve those extra travel days!)
- travel to someplace new once the world opens up (we're thinking later this year, 2021!)
- stop saying you've "done" a country, knowing deep down that we could never really know a country unless we lived there. (And I really think I need to KNOW Italy more, now more than ever.)
- consciously unplug for longer and longer stretches when we travel.
- see time off for travel as a right, not a luxury; so we can rest, recharge, rejuvenate and reignite our passions being more creative, loyal and productive employees.
- to NOT do last minute "guilt" souvenir shopping at the airport shop on the way home.
- learn something new in each place we go about the culture, language, cuisine, politics, history and religion.
- turn strangers on strange land into our forever friends and travel companions
- not let technology get in the way of us meeting fellow travelers and indigenous people when travelling
-Integrate travel more into our lives, as we have with a good diet, exercising regularly and sleeping right. Travel is good for us in so many ways, be it physically, mentally and spiritually
- be more patient dealing with the trials and tribulations of traveling right now -- be they TSA lines, new Covid protocols, surly customer service airline reps, over-packed late flights, noisy hotel rooms, boorish fellow travelers or screaming babies.
